Hauppage HVR1100

Has anyone had any luck getting Digilite to work with a HVR1100 card ?

If so, can you provide details.

As far as I can see, the HVR1100 does not have a hardware MPEG-2 encoder. You would need a software MPEG-2 encoder and probably a much faster PC than DigiLite with a PVR-150 requires. Have a look at the threads by F6DZP about this.

I've successfully used an HVR-1300, which has a hardware MPEG-2 encoder.

Thanks for that Brian .... it does have the Çonnexant MPEG Chip so I thought it may have been suitable. The supply of suitable cards seem to be drying up. I am trying to get a few more people on digital here in Melbourne. Peter VK3BFG

That's strange - I can't see them fitting the Conexant chip and then disabling it.

I was working from this data sheet. Do the model numbers or pcb layouts give any clues?

I found it very awkward to get the drivers installed. It wouldn't do 352 x 576 and I seem to remember some problem with GBPVR at lower symbol rates. It worked fine at 4MS, 720 x 576.
