DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The bktr driver provides support for PCI video  capture  and
VBI capture on
     low cost, high performance boards.  This should support most
video cards
     based on the Brooktree Bt848/849/878/879 Video Capture Chip.
The driver
     also supports FM Radio if the Tuner supports it.

     Specifically, the following cards are known to work:

           Animation Technologies FlyVideo
           Askey/Dynalink Magic TView
           ATI TV-Wonder and Wonder/VE
           AverMedia cards
           Hauppauge Wincast TV and WinTV/PCI
           IMS TV Turbo
           Intel Smart Video Recorder III
           I/O DATA GV-BCTV2/PCI
           KISS TV/FM PCI
           Leadtek Winfast TV 2000
           Miro PC TV
           MMAC Osprey
           NEC PK-UG-X017
           STB TV PCI Television Tuner
           Terratec TerraTVplus
           Video Highway XTreme
           VideoLogic Captivator PCI
           Zoltrix TV

     The driver currently supports the following features:

           PCI to PCI DMA transfer
           clipping
           yuv
           rgb16
           rgb24
           rgb32

     On  these  cards,  tuners and other components are interconnected with an
     I2C bus.  The Brooktree848 chips act as a master  device  on
the bus to
     control them.

     The following kernel configuration options are available:

     option BKTR_ALLOC_PAGES=nnn
               Specifies  the number of contiguous pages to allocate when successfully
 probed.  The default number of pages allocated by the
               kernel   is   216.   This  means  that  there  are
(216*4096) bytes
               available for use.

     option         BKTR_SYSTEM_DEFAULT="(BROOKTREE_PAL         |
BROOKTREE_NTSC)"
               One  of  these  options can be used to set the default video format
 for the driver.  This fixed random  hangs  and
lockups with
               the VideoLogic Captivator PCI card.

     option BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD=nnn
               Select  a specific card (overrides autodetection).
`nnn' is set
               to one of the names listed and explained below.

HISTORY    [Toc]    [Back]

     The bktr driver first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.

CAVEATS    [Toc]    [Back]

     On  big-endian  architectures  it is not possible to program
the card to
     perform proper byte swapping in 24 bit modes, therefore only
16 and 32
     bit modes are supported.
