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. 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.

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 starts receiving video signal. This means that the user will only see the first frame which displays something, then it will remain frozen. If the devices stops receiving video input (i.e.: The video source is unplugged or turned off), then it will resume capturing frames. This makes the device useless for video recording.

Some people have been asking on mailing lists about how to make it work. Once they had gone past the step of adding the id so that the device is recognized and had patched their module, they never confirmed if the device was working or not.

There is a Youtube video of the Ion Video 2 PC working dated from 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30e-N5z51vU

However, in 2016, someone tried to make it work using the same procedure and it didn't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z96OfgHGDao
