# NAME

`auvitek` — Auvitek AU0828 video capture device driver

# SYNOPSIS

`auvitek* at uhub?`
`dtv* at dtvbus?`
`video* at videobus?`
`uaudio* at auvitek?`
`audio* at uaudio?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `auvitek` driver provides support for USB video capture devices based on the Auvitek AU0828 bridge. This hybrid analog/digital device requires a hi-speed USB host controller (such as ehci(4)) to function properly.

For `auvitek` devices with analog audio capture interfaces, the uaudio(4) device driver provides access to the audio stream. Application software can find a video(4) device's audio(4) device by comparing the `VIDIOC_QUERYCAP` bus_info field with the audio device's `AUDIO_GETDEV` config field.

The following cards are supported by the `auvitek` driver:

Device | Decoder | Tuner
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-850 | au8522(4) | xc5k(4)
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q | au8522(4) | xc5k(4)

Cards with an XC5000 tuner require the firmware provided by the pkgsrc/sysutils/xc5k-firmware package to function properly.
