NAME
     hdpvr -- webcamd driver for Hauppauge USB HD-PVR

SYNOPSIS
     hdpvr

DESCRIPTION
     The  hdpvr driver supports the Hauppauge HD-PVR, a USB device that captures
     the component video outputs and analog/optical audio  outputs  of	consumer
     devices  such  as cable/satellite set-top-boxes, HD disk players, and video
     game consoles. The HD-PVR captures video via component  output,  permitting
     the  capture of HD video from most sources. Since component video cannot be
     encrypted, satellite and premium television can be fully accessible to  ap-
     plications such as MythTV.

     Devices  using the hdpvr driver become available to other applications once
     webcamd(8) is loaded.

HARDWARE
     The hdpvr driver should work with the following USB  devices.  The  usbcon-
     fig(8) command can be used to determine the VendorID:ProductID of a plugged
     in USB device.

     VendorID:ProductID 		 Device
     2040:4900				 Hauppauge HD-PVR
     2040:4901				 Hauppauge HD-PVR
     2040:4902				 Hauppauge HD-PVR
     2040:4903				 Hauppauge HD-PVR
     2040:4982				 Hauppauge HD-PVR

     Newer  ProductIDs	may  also be supported by adding them to the hdpvr.h and
     hdpvr-core.c files found within the work/ subdirectory of the webcamd ports
     directory. If  this  directory  does  not	exist,	run  "make  extract"  in
     /usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd, edit the files, then compile the port.

CAVEATS
     Firmware upgrades must be run from a Windows system. If you have a "rev c1"
     unit you must install the HD-PVR at least once on a Windows machine to load
     the  firmware  into  it. If you have a Revision 2 unit (including a sticker
     marked "rev c2" on the bottom of the unit) then it will come loaded with  a
     firmware.
