DFG/USB2pro in Linux

From The Imaging Source Knowledgebase
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The DFG/USB2pro converts analogue video streams from cameras or other sources like super sonic devices to USB 2.0.

The Kernel 4.18 or 4.19 (not 4.20) or above have the driver for DFG/USB2pro built in.

The tiscamera modules can show the DFG/USB2pro, but unfortunately the video norm and input channel properties are missing. But you can set these properties with v4l2-ctl (paket v4l-utils), before starting your application.

The possible input channel settings are

v4l2-ctl --set-input 0 // that is Composite
v4l2-ctl --set-input 1 // that is S-VHS

The possible video norms, depending on your analogue camera are:

v4l2-ctl -s PAL-B
v4l2-ctl -s NTSC
