7.2.1. Install the drivers
If you want to be able to stream from a
Visiontech Kfir card, you need to install its Linux drivers.
Download the latest release of the drivers from the drivers download
page of the LinuxTV web
site
.
Uncompress the tarball and follow the instructions
written in the INSTALL file to compile and install
the drivers
.

If you have a VIA chipset, you need to disable USB
in the BIOS

7.2.3. Stream with VLS
There is no command line interface for this input
for the moment, so you will have to use the configuration file
.
Here is a typical configuration file
vls.cfgto run VLS with a VisionTech Kfir
encoding card
:
# vls.cfg (VLS configuration file)
# Example of the VideoLAN HOWTO for the Visiontech Kfir encoding card
BEGIN "Inputs"
kfir = "video"
END
BEGIN "kfir"
# Visiontech Kfir device
Device = "/dev/video"
# Stream type (default is "Mpeg2-PS")
Type = "Mpeg2-PS"
END
BEGIN "Channels"
channel1 = "network"
END
BEGIN "channel1"
# Unicast or multicast IP address
DstHost = "192.168.0.42"
# Destination port
DstPort = "1234"
# If it's a multicast IP address, uncomment the line below
#Type = "multicast"
# If it's a multicast IP address, set the "Time To Live" below
#TTL = "12"
END
BEGIN "LaunchOnStartUp"
command1 = "start video channel1 kfir"
END
|
Once you have adapted the configuration file above,
run VLS
:
