Hi,

are the Philips SPC1330NC and SPC2050NC supported by v4l?

Can I get higher framerates than 30fps (The webcam supports framerates up to 90fps)? I want to use one of them with a Beagleboard when they are supported.

Regards, Joern

As faar as I can see this are UVC cameras. You should be able to use them with linux.

The SPC1330NC is supported by the uvcvideo driver. I haven't heard about the SPC2050NC yet. My guess is that it would be a UVC device as well. Could you please post the output of

lsusb -v

for your camera (using usbutils 0.72 or newer, 0.73+ preferred) ? Thanks.

Not with the SPC1330NC. 90fps is just a marketing claim achieved by software interpolation. The camera itself supports frame rates up to 30fps.

But I can't find anything in the datasheet regarding interpolation of the framerate. There's only mentioned that the 8Mpix picture resolution is interpolated.

Since when do you believe marketing "datasheets" ? :-)
