Doing this and using the below patch but with the. If I don't do this, the cx231xx module will autoload on detecting the device, but the cx25840 module will not autoload, and the device doesn't function at all. Thus load the kernel modules for cx25840 and cx231xx before plugging in the device (#modprobe cx25840 modprobe cx231xx). When/if the hardware encoding is ever functioning, the cx25840 module seems to be also needed, however it wouldn't autoload in my experimentation. If not, it can be manually loaded (#modprobe cx231xx). Once the module is built and installed, the cx231xx module should autoload on detecting the device. So it should be supported in kernel 3.10 and later.įor earlier kernels, we need to add the device definition and some related details to the cx231xx driver and have installed the appropriate firmware (see below). īack: Mygica EZGrabber2 (top) & Diamond VC500Ī patch for this device has been accepted into to the 3.10 kernel. However examining the Windows drivers provided by the vendors, they refer to the device Polaris.CVBS or POLARIS.OTG102, and contain many of the same driver files as other devices containing the cx2 chips. However the indication that it can output compressed MPEG-4 video does suggest that it is not a standard cx2. There is no reference to this chip on Conexant's website nor practically the entire internet, so likely this is just a renumbered chip for these specific vendors. The single chip on the board is labeled as CX78921-11z. It has the standard USB 2.0 interface with stereo, composite video and S-Video inputs. On Linux, using a patched cx231xx driver, it is at least possible to get uncompressed YUV4:2:2 video and 48000Hz stereo through the corresponding alsa device. Supposedly supports output of compressed MPEG-1/2/4 streams (on Windows).

Tried all the compatibility settings I could find but no luck. Didn't have any problem with the device driver. This device ran in Windows 7 but the software had to run under XP SP3. I'm really not sure what support for Windows 8 really means. While I bought this some time ago, Diamonds web site for this device says "support for Windows 8" but they don't offer any windows 8 device driver. Tried all the things I could find updating drivers uninstalling / reinstalling with no success. The error is a code 10 device cannot be started. I get the yellow triangle with the exclamation point.
