1 | Some notes regarding the cx18 driver for the Conexant CX23418 MPEG |
2 | encoder chip: | |
3 | ||
8f993573 HV |
4 | 1) The only hardware currently supported is the Hauppauge HVR-1600 |
5 | card and the Compro VideoMate H900 (note that this card only | |
6 | supports analog input, it has no digital tuner!). | |

7 | |
8 | 2) Some people have problems getting the i2c bus to work. Cause unknown. | |
9 | The symptom is that the eeprom cannot be read and the card is | |
10 | unusable. | |
11 | ||
12 | 3) The audio from the analog tuner is mono only. Probably caused by | |
13 | incorrect audio register information in the datasheet. We are | |
14 | waiting for updated information from Conexant. | |
15 | ||
16 | 4) VBI (raw or sliced) has not yet been implemented. | |
17 | ||
18 | 5) MPEG indexing is not yet implemented. | |
19 | ||
20 | 6) The driver is still a bit rough around the edges, this should | |
21 | improve over time. | |

24 | Firmware: | |
25 | ||
26 | The firmware needs to be extracted from the Windows Hauppauge HVR-1600 | |
27 | driver, available here: | |
28 | ||
29 | http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/install_cd/hauppauge_cd_3.4d1.zip | |
30 | ||
31 | Unzip, then copy the following files to the firmware directory | |
32 | and rename them as follows: | |
33 | ||
34 | Drivers/Driver18/hcw18apu.rom -> v4l-cx23418-apu.fw | |
35 | Drivers/Driver18/hcw18enc.rom -> v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw | |
36 | Drivers/Driver18/hcw18mlC.rom -> v4l-cx23418-dig.fw |
