The original model of the Ion Video 2 PC used a TVMaster [[Trident_TM6000|TM6010L]] chip. It is said that it's possible to make it work by modifying the tm6000 driver so that it is recognized as a generic TM6010 card. |

The newer model is the one that's dealt with in this article. The difference between both can be made by looking at the label under the device to see if it says "MKII". |

Once patched, the device will be detected and video software will be able to use it. Video can be captured from progressive signals (DVD players, Play Station 2 and other recent devices), but interlaced signals (such as the Nintendo 64's) will cause the video stream to freeze due to a bug in the driver. |
||
'''Support for this device what patched into version 4.12-rc1 of the kernel.''' |
|||
A way to still see the video when capturing from interlaced sources is to modify the driver by doing a hack that will only display the first field of the video signal which as the side effect of leaving a huge green bar at the bottom of the screen. To do this, open the file '''em28xx-video.c''' and seek for '''em28xx_v4l2_init'''. Edit the line that checks if the device is webcam, remove the '''if''' condition so that the driver will always be in progressive mode: |
|||
//if (dev->board.is_webcam) |
|||
v4l2->progressive = true; |
|||
(WARNING: This is a hack and may break other devices that use the same driver) |
|||
The sound doesn't work with most program. It works with [[qv4l2]], but the sound will not play correctly. If executed from the terminal, this program will repetitively print the following error messages in the terminal while capturing: |
|||
ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) overrun occurred |
|||
There is a Youtube video of the Ion Video 2 PC working dated from 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30e-N5z51vU |
|||
ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred |
|||
The sound will cut every seconds, before it recovers and cut again continuously, while printing these error messages again and again. Changing the audio buffer size can attenuate this bug without eliminating it. |
|||
However, in 2016, someone tried to make it work using the same procedure and it didn't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z96OfgHGDao |

This device is supported under Linux since version 4.12. It won't be detected by older kernels. In a patched kernel, it is possible to get sound and video may be captured from a progressive video signal (interlaced signals don't work).
It shares the same device id (eb1a:5051) with the StarTech svid2usb23 and the Raygo R12-41373. The LG GSA-5169D is know to use the same components as them, but it is unknown if it has the same device id as them.
There are two versions of this device. The "Ion Video 2 PC" and the "Ion Video 2 PC MKII". The first is an older model and in contrast with the newer model, the older does not support Windows 7 or Mac.
The original model of the Ion Video 2 PC used a TVMaster TM6010L chip. It is said that it's possible to make it work by modifying the tm6000 driver so that it is recognized as a generic TM6010 card.
The newer model is the one that's dealt with in this article. The difference between both can be made by looking at the label under the device to see if it says "MKII".
Overview/Features
- It has composite video and audio. It also has a S-Video input.
Components Used
- Empia EM2860 (EM2861 in the instruction booklet) (USB video bridge)
- Empia EMP202 (Audio chip recognized as AC'97)
- Texas Instruments TVP5150AM1 (Video decoder)

Making it work
The kernel must be patched. The device id must be added to em28xx-cards.c.
{ USB_DEVICE(0xeb1a, 0x5051), .driver_info = EM2860_BOARD_TVP5150_REFERENCE_DESIGN },
Once patched, the device will be detected and video software will be able to use it. Video can be captured from progressive signals (DVD players, Play Station 2 and other recent devices), but interlaced signals (such as the Nintendo 64's) will cause the video stream to freeze due to a bug in the driver.
Support for this device what patched into version 4.12-rc1 of the kernel.
A way to still see the video when capturing from interlaced sources is to modify the driver by doing a hack that will only display the first field of the video signal which as the side effect of leaving a huge green bar at the bottom of the screen. To do this, open the file em28xx-video.c and seek for em28xx_v4l2_init. Edit the line that checks if the device is webcam, remove the if condition so that the driver will always be in progressive mode:
//if (dev->board.is_webcam) v4l2->progressive = true;
(WARNING: This is a hack and may break other devices that use the same driver)
The sound doesn't work with most program. It works with qv4l2, but the sound will not play correctly. If executed from the terminal, this program will repetitively print the following error messages in the terminal while capturing:
ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) overrun occurred ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
The sound will cut every seconds, before it recovers and cut again continuously, while printing these error messages again and again. Changing the audio buffer size can attenuate this bug without eliminating it.
