This is an integrated audio/video driver for EasyCAP cards with
USB ID 05e1:0408. It supports two hardware variants:
* EasyCAP USB 2.0 Video Adapter with Audio, Model DC60,
having input cables labelled CVBS, S-VIDEO, AUDIO(L), AUDIO(R)
* EasyCAP002 4-Channel USB 2.0 DVR, having input cables labelled
1, 2, 3, 4 and an unlabelled input cable for a microphone.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called easycap
config EASYCAP_DEBUG
bool "Enable EasyCAP driver debugging"
depends on EASYCAP
---help---
This option enables debug printouts
To enable debug, pass the debug level to the debug module
parameter:
modprobe easycap debug=[0..9]
easycap-objs := easycap_main.o
easycap-objs += easycap_low.o
easycap-objs += easycap_ioctl.o
easycap-objs += easycap_settings.o
easycap-objs += easycap_testcard.o
easycap-objs += easycap_sound.o
obj-$(CONFIG_EASYCAP) += easycap.o

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
------------------
This driver is intended for use with hardware having USB ID 05e1:0408.
Two kinds of EasyCAP have this USB ID, namely:
* EasyCAP USB 2.0 Video Adapter with Audio, Model DC60,
having input cables labelled CVBS, S-VIDEO, AUDIO(L), AUDIO(R)
* EasyCAP002 4-Channel USB 2.0 DVR, having input cables labelled
1, 2, 3, 4 and an unlabelled input cable for a microphone.
BUILD OPTIONS AND DEPENDENCIES
------------------------------
Unless EASYCAP_DEBUG is defined during compilation it will not be possible
to select a debug level at the time of module installation.
KNOWN RUNTIME ISSUES
--------------------
(1) Intentionally, this driver will not stream material which is unambiguously
identified by the hardware as copy-protected. Normal video output will be
present for about a minute but will then freeze when this situation arises.
(2) The controls for luminance, contrast, saturation, hue and volume may not
always work properly.
(3) Reduced-resolution S-Video seems to suffer from moire artefacts.
INPUT NUMBERING
---------------
For the EasyCAP with S-VIDEO input cable the driver regards a request for
inputs numbered 0 or 1 as referring to CVBS and a request for input
numbered 5 as referring to S-VIDEO.
For the EasyCAP with four CVBS inputs the driver expects to be asked for
any one of inputs numbered 1,2,3,4. If input 0 is asked for, it is
interpreted as input 1.
MODULE PARAMETERS
-----------------
Three module parameters are defined:
debug the easycap module is configured at diagnostic level n (0 to 9)
gain audio gain level n (0 to 31, default is 16)
bars whether to display testcard bars when incoming video signal is lost
0 => no, 1 => yes (default)
SUPPORTED TV STANDARDS AND RESOLUTIONS
--------------------------------------
The following TV standards are natively supported by the hardware and are
usable as (for example) the "norm=" parameter in the mplayer command:
PAL_BGHIN, NTSC_N_443,
PAL_Nc, NTSC_N,
SECAM, NTSC_M, NTSC_M_JP,
PAL_60, NTSC_443,
PAL_M.
In addition, the driver offers "custom" pseudo-standards with a framerate
which is 20% of the usual framerate. These pseudo-standards are named:
PAL_BGHIN_SLOW, NTSC_N_443_SLOW,
PAL_Nc_SLOW, NTSC_N_SLOW,
SECAM_SLOW, NTSC_M_SLOW, NTSC_M_JP_SLOW,
PAL_60_SLOW, NTSC_443_SLOW,
PAL_M_SLOW.
The available picture sizes are:
at 25 frames per second: 720x576, 704x576, 640x480, 360x288, 320x240;
at 30 frames per second: 720x480, 640x480, 360x240, 320x240.
WHAT'S TESTED AND WHAT'S NOT
----------------------------
This driver is known to work with mplayer, mencoder, tvtime, zoneminder,
xawtv, gstreamer and sufficiently recent versions of vlc. An interface
to ffmpeg is implemented, but serious audio-video synchronization problems
remain.
The driver is designed to support all the TV standards accepted by the
hardware, but as yet it has actually been tested on only a few of these.
I have been unable to test and calibrate the S-video input myself because I
do not possess any equipment with S-video output.
UDEV RULES
----------
In order that the special files /dev/easycap0 and /dev/easysnd1 are created
with conveniently relaxed permissions when the EasyCAP is plugged in, a file
is preferably to be provided in directory /etc/udev/rules.d with content:
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="easycap_rules_end"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="05e1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0408", \
MODE="0666", OWNER="root", GROUP="root"
LABEL="easycap_rules_end"
MODPROBE CONFIGURATION
----------------------
The easycap module is in competition with the module snd-usb-audio for the
EasyCAP's audio channel, and its installation can be aided by providing a
file in directory /etc/modprobe.d with content:
options easycap gain=16 bars=1
install easycap /sbin/rmmod snd-usb-audio; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install easycap
ACKNOWLEGEMENTS AND REFERENCES
------------------------------
This driver makes use of information contained in the Syntek Semicon DC-1125
Driver, presently maintained at http://sourceforge.net/projects/syntekdriver/
by Nicolas Vivien. Particularly useful has been a patch to the latter driver
provided by Ivor Hewitt in January 2009. The NTSC implementation is taken
from the work of Ben Trask.
