Installation

Before running the installer, you must have installed the old drivers of your card, or have listed the Video Capture card in Device Manager under Other Devices.. (A yellow question mark). You must also have your capture card installed inside your computer.

Start the installer. The first screen offers to Install the driver or to Uninstall ANY already installed driver associated with the Brooktree capture card. The last option should ONLY be used if you want to reinstall ANOTHER DIFFERENT DRIVER , it gets rid of all the old drivers associated to the Bt848/Bt878 , and it should be used if you want to reinstall the original driver that came with your board. You MUST NOT uninstall any driver to install this one.

Select Install option, then press the 'Next' button. The licence agreement will be displayed. You should agree with those license terms to continue. Agree to the license and press 'Next'.

Now, the Main installation screen will be displayed, and , depending on your settings, the driver could be properly configured for your card. You should know that improper configuration settings will make the driver partially functional. Probably TV tuner and TV audio won´t work as expected (if they work at all). Make sure you select the TV card model that is right for your capture board if you are asked to (just read the screen), and select the right TV tuner. If you don't know the TV tuner model, you will have to try until you find one of them that works with your card (if it does not work, you won't be able to switch TV channels).

So, the driver will try to autodetect the card model. If it displays a card name at the botton of the dialog, above the 'Next' button, you can use the card 'Autodetected' model setting. If it says you must pick a card model, you must do so. This is caused probably because your video capture card does not provide a reliable way to identify it (all the older Bt848 based cards have this problem, but nearly all new Bt878 based cards should be autodetected).

As said, you must also pick the Tuner model. This is important, because the wrong tuner type will probably make TV channel tuning impossible. You must be aware that on FlyVideo, AverMedia, Miro, Pinnacle , Voodoo and Hauppauge models, tuner model is autodetected, so, with those cards, you could let the driver autodetect it. For all the other capture cards you need to specify the correct tuner.

If you don´t know the correct tuner model, you can try to read the tuner model from the capture card itself (the aluminium box). If you can´t do that, you will have to use a trial and error method. I suggest that , in this case, you select a Phillips model based on the videonorm of your country. Remember that for Pal N Combination (Used in Argentina), you should select a NTSC tuner.

There are 3 checkboxes to check; the first one askes if there is a TDA9855 on board. You should leave it unchecked unless you have sound problems and you see/know that your card has one of those chips onboard.

The second one asks if your card has a FM tuner. Normally, you must check this if you were told your card was able to tune FM radio. Note that Miro, Pinnacle and VHX card owners MUST NOT check this. The driver knows about those special cards that need special parameters to work (because they can tune Radio, but using another specific tuner for that function).

The third checkbox, asks if you want to try to tune FM radio with the TV Tuner. This is possible for all cards that can´t normally tune FM Radio, but will give bad quality FM Mono. (Better to have it than not to have it).

That´s all, now press the 'Next' button: The installation screen shows. Press 'Install' button, and everything should be installed! - Good luck!

Some Cards That Have Other Names:

(Taken from 'Cards' of bttv linux driver).

Some cards have different names, but are the same cards, so, check if yours is one of those cards:

CPH-Series (CPH050, ...)

Developed by TelSignal(?), OEMed by many vendors (Askey, Typhoon, Anubis, Dynalink)

Card series:

• CPH01x: BT848 capture only
• CPH03x: BT848
• CPH05x: BT878 with FM
• CPH06x: BT878 (w/o FM)

2) The cards have a sticker with 'CPH'-model on the back.

3) These cards have a number printed on the PCB just above the tuner metal box:

• '80-CP2000300-x' = CPH03X
• '80-CP2000500-x' = CPH05X
• '80-CP2000600-x' = CPH06X / CPH06x_LC

Animation Technologies Inc. isnot that well known as its LifeView trademark under which this company(founded yet in 1990) sells its products. Its solutions are not High-End,but there is also a silver lining thanks to the democratic pricing.

The model tested today is not new on the market but it's one of the widely available TV& FM tuners equipped with Philips713x 9-bit ADCs. The FlyTV Prime series (earlier named FlyVideo 3000/2000, prefix FM wasn't changed) includes models both on the Philips7134 (index 34, former 3000), and on the Philips7130 (index 30, former 2000), like AVerTV Studio Model 305. Be careful when making your choice.

Accessory pack

The colorful box with abstract images of eyes and ears doesn't look thatimpressive.

The accessory pack is predictable.

Flyvideo 3000 Driver

• Tuner
• Remote Control
• External IR receiver for RC
• Sound card line-in cable
• FM antenna
• Software CD
• Installation manual

The developers offer a software suite from Honest Technology which is also supplied with the Manli USB TV 2.0. It's named LifeView Suite

The components were renamed too.

LifeView Encoder (alias MPEG Encoder 4.0)

and LifeView Editor (alias MPEG Editor 4.0)

The DVD Maker is replaced with LifeView DV which can be explainedby unification taking into account the FlyDV Prime models comingwith the integrated FireWire controller.

Design and specification

This sample has the latest revision H.

The FlyTV Prime 34 FM is not the last word in fashion, and TV and FM signalsare received by old Philips solution - TCL2002MB-1F.

Philips SAA7134HL is used to decode the signal.

The tuner's specs are standard, but we didn't expect any revolution.

Testbed configuration

• Athlon 2800XP CPU (Barton)
• Gigabyte 7VAX mainboard (KT400 chipset)
• ATI RADEON 9800 PRO 256MB DDR2 video card
• 1GB RAM (512MB PC3200 from Samsung + 512MB PC3200 from Kingmax)
• Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 sound card
• FUJITSU MPG3204AT E HDD
• Windows XP Professional (SP1) ENG OS

Connection

The card has a standard set of connectors,

and a standard circuitry.

Tuning

Instead of the drivers and TVR software supplied we installed thelatest drivers available on NVIDIA'ssite. Hereyou can find the list of corrected errors and additions, and a full listof models with the old and new names.

After installation you get the following devices

and a scheduler icon in the tray.

The None option in the audio input source section enables soundtransfer via PCI bus (it's supported in the Philips7134but not in 7130).

Let's have a look at the settings in TVR 3.00 (exactly with twozeros).

Drivers Flyvideo 3000 Driver

On the TV Settings tab you can choose between air or cable reception,enable autoscanning or input channels frequency manually, edit it, deleteor resort to fine tuning. Country auto detection works correctly, as wellas the other options in this section.

The outdated radio unit couldn't get one channel and received signals unsteadily,the manual input and fine tuning brought only the sound. There were nomore problems, but a good antenna can be of much help here.

TVR 3.00 has a new option of channel scanning by frequency usingsettings from the Fully Scan tab.

Video Settings are not new.

Here are Record Settings.

For the Honestech codec used for MPEG1/2 decoding you can selecta resolution and a bitrate. TVR 3.00 supports MPEG4 through Microsoft'sand DivX 5.1 codecs (older versions of the DivX codec are not supported).However, this support is limited by 352x288. But even such bonuses arerarely offered by other companies.

The Misc Page houses TimeShift settings, frame captureand Multi-Channel Preview.

The audio settings have a dedicated button on the panel.

Apart from choosing a source (remember that None means PCI audiotransfer) and volume adjustment you can change balance and treble, butthey are sound card's mixer's settings, and they have no effect on recording.

The most part of options which can be enabled with the 713X Chip AudioSettings button are not available because they are supported only in7135 chips with expanded audio capabilities.

The only useful option is Preview (Analog Out) which should be disabledwhen sound goes through the PCI bus and the sound card line-in is connectedin order to avoid echo caused by asynchronous audio streams.

On closing the program the TVR 3.00 icon remains in the tray.

Quality

When making screenshots we faced the problem with color described in the Manli USB TV 2.0 review.

Fortunately, there are a lot of alternatives for Philips713x based tuners,and we used probably the best one - Fly 2000 TV.

The program will be discussed a bit later, and now you can see the capturesettings.

Quality depends mostly on the ADC, and the Philips7134 doesn't let us down.

The sound is a bit muffled, but I would hardly have noticed it if I werenot alerted.

No screening problems.

Additional features

TimeShift works both in TV and FM modes.

There's a combined gallery for frames captures, audio and video files,the full list opens when a new file is added. You can send a bmp pictureor a wav file by e-mail.

Multi-Channel Preview (one more function that has different names)

can set broadcasting time for each channel and show several channels simultaneously,but it works only in the full-screen mode.

The schedule recording surprised us with the need to enter channels orfrequency manually for recording FM stations.

Unfortunately, you can't make the PC turn off on finishing the recording.

For dessert, you are offered to change the panel look.

There's just one style supplied but it differs a lot from the default one.

You can manually modify it using the tools from the program folder.

FM Tuner

TVR 3.00 has the same interface for TV and FM modes, they can beswitched with special buttons on the panel.

The stations in the FM mode are listed in almost 1MHz steps. However, thelist can't be edited. I had to delete unnecessary stations manually inTvrSFile.iniin [CHANNELLISTFM] section. If you go this way, see that the numberin line 'FM=' corresponds to the number of stations left after editing.Fortunately, you can edit stations' names.

Although the radio unit is outdated, FM sensitivity is ok.

TimeShift and schedule recording were described above.

The sound lacks for high frequencies (downloada 20-sec fragment, mp3, 486KB). But it's not that fatal, and it's acceptablefor listening to radio. Besides, Leadtek'stuners also have this problem. Also remember about the mixer settings whichcan improve it.

Remote Control

The remote control is the triumph of stylistic minimalism. There are onlyessentials and the Power button to turn on/off PC. By the way, thecompany offers a special patchfor this RC mode under the Windows 98SE/ME. The RC takes power from CR2025 3V battery supplied.

Fly 2000 TV

Drivers Flyvideo 3000 Garage Door Opener

This software suite is developed for Philips 713x based tuners. The Nativemode is based on direct programming of chip registers, without enablingthe WDM driver. But this mode needs the WDM driver kernel mode to providefor the DirectShow conception. It supports several remote controlsand offers a lot of fine settings for 713x chips.

Fly 2000 TV has integrated deinterlacing filters, sharpness andnoise reduction settings. Besides, you can disable automatic brightnessadjustment.

Beside the PCI audio transfer Fly 2000 TV supports Volume fromSIF function (audio capture from tuner's intermediate frequency. Butthis option is not supported for Philips7130 based tuners.

Audio Input Voltage controls input sensitivity for different modes.If you reduce it, the volume level will get higher.

The scheduler and the support for all codecs including DivX for captureare also provided.

I recommend that you download the trial version (the registration feeis very low) of the Fly 2000 TV if you have a Philips713x basedtuner.

The only disadvantage I noticed is that mp3 recording quality is limitedby 24 kHz/ 56 Kbit/s. However, there are very few companies that offermore features. More about features of the Fly 2000 TV you can learn from here.
