Note that many (all?) PVR-350s contain SAA7129 rather than 7127, and the 7129 has dedicated RGB/Cr-Y-Cb outputs. > Has anyone investigated this (or similar) at a hardware level, and if so, > any joy? I only got as far as noting that these RGB pins didn't seem to go anywhere useful. Unless your PCB is different from mine, you'd have to connect to the pins directly, which can be slightly fiddly. But if that has been done, I can't see anything that prevents the use of this output... as long as you remember to modify the saa7127.ko module so it configures the SAA7129 correctly. The 7129 datasheet is here: http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat/datasheets/SAA7128H_SAA7129H_3.pdf Regards, Thomas -- 9876543210 Magic tab-o-meter. http://www.armware.dk/ ^ ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
