Add a category for video acquisition cards
submitted by PaulK, 12:20, 21 February 2011
Thema: new categories of hardware
Stand: closed
Priorität: medium
Beschreibung:
I think that there should be a "Video acquisition card" category on h-node since these cards (working with free software) are rare and should so be listed. I'm sure that some of us would be interested in such a list.

ok, perhaps the entries already used for wifi cards should be ok.

  1. vendor
  2. model name
  3. vendorid:productid code
  4. year of commercialization
  5. interface
  6. distribution
  7. does it work?
  8. kernel libre version
  9. description

Other useful informations could be inserted inside the description entry. Comments or suggestions are welcome :)

I think that adding an entry with the appropriated free driver could be useful (to find documentation).

The "Video acquisition card" term would apply to TV(+FM radio) cards also?

tonicucoz:

mmm.. not sure if it's better to separate TV cards from those cards that make digital video camera acqusition, or to leave both under the same category.

We could choose to separate them, but I don't know if there are acquisition cards that can do both TV and video camera acquisition.

I'm not an expert in video acquisition

I have a card which does both video acquisition (from a yellow RCA jack) and TV/Radio acquisition. I also have one which only does TV and Radio. I think that it would be best to list all these cards in the same category, perhaps under the name "Video/TV/FM acquisition cards".

ok, we could put these cards under the same category. Perhaps we could specify in the description entry if it allows TV acqisition or video acquisition or both

Sorry the delay, I hope I will be able to insert this category in a few days (I'm spending lots of time in the h-node client coding ;) )
