Hi List,
I got a capture card (4 port composite) ages ago, and I remember I had
it working perfectly.
I've just reinstalled it into a fresh gentoo box and connected one of
the cameras, and all I'm getting is noise. I know its a real image as
when I put my hand over the camera lens, the image goes black, still
distorted but black.
From what I've been able to tell from a bit of poking around, it seems
that the Hsync of the camera or card isn't set right and is causing this
distortion.
I can't give you the exact card model as I've lost all the paperwork,
but it does come up as a bt878 generic card. Originally I was having
timeouts but solved that with a pci slot change.
I've got almost no real knowledge of v4l so I'm pretty lost as to what I
should be looking at next.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
