Summary : Driver firmware for iCompression or Conexant video capture cards
Description :
The primary goal of the IVTV project is to provide a "clean room" Linux
Open Source driver implementation for video capture cards based on the
iCompression iTVC15 or Conexant CX23415/CX23416 MPEG Codec. Examples of
such cards are the Hauppauge PVR 250/350 series of MPEG video capture
cards, the Hauppauge "freestyle" and the AVerMedia M179 AVerTV. The
freestyle hasn't been tested, but it should work, or at least be easy
to get working.
