PCI MPEG-2 encoder with SDI input in Linux 2.6

PCI MPEG-2 encoder with SDI input in Linux 2.6

[John Sigler]

Hello,

I work for a small company involved in broadcast.

For the past year, we've been looking for a PCI board that meets
at least the following requirements:

1. Serial Digital Interface input
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Digital_Interface

2. On-board (hardware) MPEG-2 encoder (our app runs on a low-spec PC) 
which returns a smooth CBR Transport Stream
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_stream

3. Robust Linux 2.6 device driver

AFAIU, the major player in this space is Optibase's MovieMaker 230 
Publisher. AFAICT, they only support 2.4 kernels, and the board is 
overpriced.

I had hoped that Greg Kroah-Hartman's offer would change the landscape, 
but I don't think it has.

At this point, I am definitely open to any and all comments, 
suggestions, and ideas.

Regards.

Hi John,
the Video4Linux mailing list is a better place for this question.
I've added them to CC. Please remove linux-kernel from CC when
answering.

Thanks,
Hans
