DVico Fusion HDTV Dual Express PCB showing component labels

A hybrid DVB-T PCIe card from DViCO.

The DVB-T side is supported in a test tree. Please see http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/ for details.

Overview

Able to deliver one analogue channel and one digital channel simultaneously or 2 digital channels. High definition resolution is 1920 x 1080. Features a power switch pass-through to allow it to turn the host system on automatically.

Components Used

• 2 x Xceive 3008ACQ (tuner IC)
• 2 x Intel WJCE6353 (digital demodulator)
• Conexant CX23885 (A/V Decoder / PCIe bridge)
• Pericom P15C.... (switch)
• PIC16F73 (external audio adc ? -- its used as such on the Fusion5 RT (note- the PIC16F73 is currently unsupported under Linux, so audio from external analog sources (a/v inputs) will not work); or maybe its being used for remote control (although that might be natively handled by the cx23885)?; or maybe its being used in conjunction with RTC duty ?)
• some Atmel eeproms
• some others (RF switch)...
