To all the customers who are or will be using Sensoray Model 311 or 611 with
PAL/SECAM:
If you happened to have PAL/SECAM problem with Sensoray 311/611, it ended up
with incorrect pll default setting. After looking into the bttv source code
and module docs, I have found that there is no similar line “pll: PLL_28”
in the source file bttv-card.c ( “Sensoray 311/611” section), which would be
needed for supporting all NTSC, PAL, SECAM by defaulting, since the 311/611
just use a single 28.6 MHz crystal as the clock source too.
To fix the problem/inconvenience, here is the solution:
1) check and add/change the config settings in the /etc/modules.conf to
comply with followings:
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=73 radio=1 pll=1
options tuner debug=1 type=4
2) reboot or restart (re-power up) the system.
3) then, you are ready to go with running "xawtv", demo/sample apps that
Sensoray Co. provides, or other apps for all PAL, NTSC and SECAM formats.
4) Or, as an alternative solution, you may just simply run:
$ modprobe -r bttv
$ modprobe bttv card=73 pll=1
$ xawtv (or other playing/grabbing apps
