bttv_norm=3 -> PAL-NC

[linuxfd]

Hi all,

If you use Source tab and select Device Format you have the option to set as 0=PAL 1=NTSC and I think 3 = Auto, I need to set my 2nd card Pico2000 to PAL-NC.

Tried to pass this parameter in modules.conf with

option bttv card=7 bttv_norm=3 # PAL-NC

Has anyone got a Pico2000 working in colour, it works in windows but I am sure its set to PAL-NC

Looked at the videodev.h to see if it was possible to see codes for other norm settings, but lost on that one.

Have tried numbers 0,1,3

regards

just ONE input of pico2000 works in gray.

to fix this, use card=45 and then use the inputs as channel 0 1 2 and 4, DONT use 3 because 3 is gray.

Hi All,

first thanks for you help.

here is my conf file for Mandrake 10

modules.conf

probeall usb-interface usb-ohci
above snd-trident snd-pcm-oss
#ptions i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
# card 45 = pico 2000 tuner = 0
options bttv card=1,45 tuner=0,0 gbuffers=4
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
#options bttv card=7 bttv_norm=3 radio=0
alias eth0 8139too

modprobe.conf

options bttv card=1,45 tuner=0,0
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
alias eth0 8139too
install snd-trident /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-trident && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-ohci; /bin/true
remove snd-trident { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-trident

And the card works with my microPCTV

why did I ask about pal-nc well with the windoze software it works in that mode!!!

But when I set it up with Zoneminder I used 0=PAL maybe I got mis understood on that one.

my next one has anyone got a package list conf file to install Debian, and source.list conf file

regards

fred

PS could you please post your example conf files for the pico2000
