Nogatech NT100x

Nogatech produced several USB bridge chipsets, which they marketed as being the USBVision family of products, for USB video capture devices.

The NT1003 was initially referred to in company literature, in 1997, as the Live Video On USB chip, but was subsequently rebranded as the USB-Vision, and by the time of product availability, in late 1998, it had become known simply as the USBVision or USBvision (Nogatech was very inconsistent, in respect to the usage of either a "V" or "v", in their references to the product's name).

The NT1004 became available in late 1999, and was labeled by Nogatech as the USBvision II (or USBVision II) chipset.

Nogatech was purchased by Zoran, in 2000, and under the new owners a coherent product branding was seemingly settled upon, with USBvision emerging as the formal name for the entire chipset family. USBvision II, of course, referred to the NT1004 chip, which Zoran had, using its own product part nomenclature, also recast as the ZR36504.

The USBvision II Data Decoder was the marketing name for the ZR36505 product part, a.k.a. the NT1005 chipset.

The NT1003, NT1004, and NT1005 are all supported under Linux by the USBVision device driver. The chips were widely used by a number of different vendors in their USB video capture devices; see USBVision devices for examples.

Zoran later added to the USBvision family with the USBvision III (ZR36506).
