Hello, can someone give me some guidance? I'm playing around with Zoneminder for the first time. I'm using an old Elite Technology PC-Based DVR. The card in it has 2 Conexant Fusion 878A chips. It is a 16 channel unit. My system is showing video0 and video1 both as Brooktree Corp BT878. Each with 4 channels. So I'm missing half of my channels.
I've tried various input settings and can never get anything but a blue screen.
I'm guessing a modprobe.d bttv.conf file is in order to properly use this card, however I have no clue what it should contain. First of all, is this a compatible card? Where can I find settings for it?
Thanks so much for any help.
