Ion Video 2 PC

This device is currently not supported under Linux. It is not even detected if the kernel is not patched. Once the kernel is patched, it is possible to get sound, but it is not usable for video.

It shares the same device id (eb1a:5051) with the StarTech svid2usb23, which suffers from the same problem.

There is an older model of Ion Video 2 PC that used a TVMaster TM6010L chip.

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. If something is plugged into the device, audio can be heard, but it will stop sending video frames to the computer once it has synchronized the analog signal.
