Pinnacle PCTV HD Card (800i)

A hybrid ATSC PCI card from Pinnacle.

It is currently not supported under Linux. However, experimental support does exist -- analog is apparently working well, but getting the digital side working has so far proven problematic. See below for a link to these drivers.

Overview/Features

A hybrid device that supports analog, ATSC (8-VSB) and digital cable (QAM) TV sources. The card also supports analog A/V inputs, and has an IR remote control input.

It appears that it may be also being sold as the Yuan PG583Q. Yuan lists two models (PG583 and PG583Q) -- simply a wild guess, but perhaps the former uses a XC3028 (not QAM capable) and the later XC5000 (QAM capable) ?? The Yuan boards also have a connector of sorts on the back portion of the PCB that is not present on the Pinnacle board.

Components Used

800i's components
  • Xceive XC5000 (tuner & analog IF demodulator) [1]
  • Samsung S5H1409 (digital demodulator) [2]
  • Conexant CX23883 (A/V decoder & PCI bridge) [3]
  • Cirrus 5340 CZZ (audio ADC) [4]
  • Atmel ATMLH726 (8-pin eeprom)

PCI subsytem ID is: 11bd:0051

Drivers

The experitmental drivers for this device are currently available in the Mercurial repository found here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/xc5000-analog Just select the .bz2 on the top left of the page, then build them via running "make" followed by "make install". More thorough build instructions can be found here.

Please note that these drivers ONLY include analog support. Development towards getting the digital side of the device working continues, and such support will be added to the drivers when it becomes available.

Remote Control Support

Assuming the card uses the CX2388x's standard IR interface, then the remote control should be supported, or likely can be fairly easily.
