An analogue PCI card from 3Dfx.


It is supported under Linux.
This page needs more information than the meager bits below.

At the time of writing this page (May/2008) there are still quite a few of these pci cards around. This card is identified by a couple of different part numbers. This is one of those devices that ''should'' work. You may need to work and re-work the bttv and snd-bt87x module options and modprobe options aggressively to be successful.

The card falls under the categorization as a [[Bttv devices (bt848, bt878)]] device. You will need a computer with at least 1.5MHZ CPU to get it working well in MythTV given, being a software based encoding device, the capture encoding will suck a whole lotta CPU cycles at NTSC 720x480.

Video works, this is tuner dependent though. I got the NTSC tuner to work.

Television audio might work. The alsa developer and user lists offered no support with audio.

FM radio tuners are included in some versions.

Overview/Features

The card falls under the categorization as a Bttv devices (bt848, bt878) device. You will need a computer with at least 1.5MHZ CPU to get it working well in MythTV given, being a software based encoding device, the capture encoding will suck a whole lotta CPU cycles at NTSC 720x480.

  • Composite in
  • SVideo in (STB OEM only)
  • FM radio (STB OEM only)

Components Used

  • Temic 4032FY5 (tuner module) ... the STB OEM used either a Temic API or Philips FM1236/F (see [1] and [2])
  • STM TEA6420 (audio switch)
