Video-in Capabilities

[zaxwerks]

hi everyone,

noob question..i was wondering did anyone know how to make a video-in with gp2x ..with additional devices or board of course.

thanks in advance

Well, I have seen (also, occasionally in an Officemax ad) USB video capture devices. If someone were to write a driver and an application for one, then I suppose you could use it with the break out box. But, sorry it's not really do-able at this very moment.

yes..i guess USB capture device is the best solution right now. i was wondering if gamepark holding will make a video-in port in comingg models

thanks a bunch rememberthe8bit ..really appreciate it

I was thinking of such a thing earlier, and I'd personally love it. GP2X DVR 4 teh win!11!!

Actually, this cable for tv-out i have doesn't work where i live because where i live its input. Can i use it as input with proper programming?

get a converter for the plug and use it on a rca connector (or scart)

You just need a male-to-male phono (like for your Hi-Fi) and a male-to-male S-Video lead. Maybe an S-Video to Scart adapter at the other end if your TV doesn't have S-Video...

Err. TVout means it has OUTGOING signals. It can *not* do any INCOMING signals, for which you would need some additional hardware which the GP2x doesn't have..

A USB TVtuner with proper drivers and software would rock, though. Portable DVR...
Although I wonder if the hardware and the SD card writespeeds can do it..

Hmmm... Forgot about that. Perhaps something like this might work...

though perhaps only in my dreams...

yes rememberthe8bit, it might work...but my point is to use GP2X as part of process...maybe controlling the recording time and other possibilites, it runs linux ..im sure GP2X can do lot more...
is it possible to use BoB and additional device as input video to GP2X?then GP2X will write or even encode they video? i hope i dont asking too much here

cheers

According to that article there is Linux support for it, someone would need to build a module for it & some software i guess, but it seems feasable.
