Osprey 530
Hello,
Has anybody experience with the Osprey 530 (or 500 serie at all) ? I like to use the SDI input. The manufacture said that it is supported from kernel 2.6.x But a lot of forums are complaining about only capturing blue screens.
Or can somebody tell about other capture boards with SDI.
Thank you..
Wiebe

We have a bunch of 530's (well over 100) for encoding a bunch of video content into an IPTV system -- but unfortunately, the encoding computers all run Windows.
I spent some time trying to make a 530 work in Linux - with the results you describe above.
I would love for the SDI input to work in Linux - but since I'm using openSuSE the default kernel on the OS is customized. I previously pulled down a "supported" kernel from kernel.org and installed it, but even after doing that I was still unable to see the BTTV stuff work properly.
When I inquired of them previously, here was their response:

For Linux questions we need to defer to the Linux developers linuxtv.org. Because you are using custom kernels you cannot expect out of the box support to work. You will need to make changes every time you compile a new kernel. The folks at linuxtv.org know what they are doing and how to configure the kernel. VeiwCast is not involved in the development or implementation of Linux drivers. So our support of this platform is necessarliy limited. Please direct Linux questions to linuxtv.org.
In other words, I got the typical manufacturer's brush-off of "go to the community for support with the community software - we aren't interested enough to really get involved."
To date, I have not heard of anyone successfully running the Osprey 530 in Linux with normal ability to capture composite, S-Video, and SDI inputs.
Similarly, I have not heard of any other SDI capture card working in Linux, but due to the quantity of Osprey 530 cards we have I'd much rather see this card work.
Good luck.
