<div>This card works a little different than the others. The inputs are not bound to any spacific bt878 chip but go through a crosspoint video switch. The way this works is you have inputs (channles) 0-15 and you can assign them to any of the video devices (bt878 chips /dev/video 0-3)<br />
<br>/dev/video0 (3) assigns composit input 3 to the first device<br />
<br>/dev/video1 (0) assigns composit input 0 to the second device etc...<br />

For video display in ZonEMindeR, make sure you select "Video For Linux Version 1" and the proper resolution for the camera.<br />

==Add a single card==<br />
modprobe bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133<br><br />
or <br><br />
edit your modprobe.conf to include <br><br />
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133<br><br />
requires a 2.6.12 kernel but fully supported in a 2.6.13<br><br />
I tried and failed on the 2.6.12 but succeeded on the 2.6.13<br><br />
<br />
When using all 16 channels plug the additional BNC's onto the headers bearing in mind the first 4 are on the card.<br />
but the order of the channels is<br />
1,2,3,4,9,8,5,4,13,12,11,10,15,14,7,6<br />

==Two Cards in a single box ****==<br />
Two 4400r cards - labeled as se-120 (4 8778 chips/card). In an IBM 342 Server. FC4<br><br />

It is setup with :<br><br />
/dev/video0 channel 0<br><br />
/dev/video1 channel 1<br><br />

==If color cameras show black and white==<br />
Adding chroma_agc=1 to your modprobe line might fix it. <br />
