I have multiple cameras.
They are all color.
Some however do not display in color in zoneminder. In single view, in montage, and cycle mode...doesn't matter

They do however show color when connect to a tv.

The software is Zoneminder 1.22.x
There are two Kodicom 4400r cards installed

Some of the cameras do work and work well with their colors

The server is a multiprocessor IBM342 with SCSI raid.

the viewer is firefox on the server and three clients.
I have tried Pal/ntsc (which is what they are).
Also tried all the different color pallettes

Logs are all normal (except the bogus scale factor) see other posting

check you have your kodicoms set correctly in modprobe, and as i have never run 2 in the same machine i would just test with 1. YOur cams wont be pal/ntsc they will be either or.

Hi Greg,
Check the wiki for this card and make sure you have your modprobe settings correct. I have one of these cards and have had no issues thus far with it.

Regards,
Corey

Thanks for the input.
Yes, this happened when I only had one card installed too:
Interestingly, if I move the good camera to a "bad" camera input I get color.

I "feel" that it may be related to cheap cameras and been question if their may be a problem with the signal strength of the cameras. What get's me is that direct to a tv input its great. One of the camera is pretty high quality and still only black and white...Again other of the 9 cameras provide AWESOME color.

The server is running at like 15-20% max usage.

Yes, I'm sorry, I was'nt clear...I understand that it's either PAL or NTSC, either or....I simply meant that I had tried both just in case.

Just for grins this is my modprobe.conf:
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv gbuffers=32 card=0x85,0x84,0x85,0x85,0x85,0x84,0x85,0x85 tuner=-1

As you can see I have it setup for two cards...(I also am an old "C" programmer so tend to use the hexidecimal flavor)

But again, I had the same problem with a single card (of course my modprobe was different at the time).
