Thema: Neues AltDVB BDA Device Interface für DVB-S/T/C

[SiLæncer]

2007.11.09

v 0.1.0.0
---------

A few weeks ago I have decided to try to write an alternative BDA device interface for AltDVB v2.2.0 build 3912 for my TT S2-3200 card with v5.0.0.x BDA drivers.
It might work with other BDA compatible devices (DVB-S/T/C), but no guarantee is given.

1) please don't ask me for the device interface SDK for AltDVB v2.2 since I
simply don't have it (the knowledge to write this implementation was gathered just by observing when and which information is exchanged between the main application and the original Dev_BdaDriver.int)
- I might release in the future my knowledge on the device interface
- if AltX wishes that this information shall not ever be disclosed I will honor his decision
- no, I am not in any contact with AltX, nor know his whereabouts
(wish him all the best though

2) it might work with other BDA compatible devices, but no guarantee is given

3) Technotrend's BDA drivers (still) have difficulties with DiSEqC 1.0 under BDA, especially when tuning to 8PSK transponders

4) DVB-S support have been tested only with the TT S2-3200 card (aka SkystarHD)

5) DVB-T support has been tested only with the TwinHan MagicBox Pro VP-704A (aka Pinnacle PCTV-310e)

6) don't have access to DVB-C hardware, so it's not tested at all

7) if you want to report an anomaly/bug/strange behavior please be specific, provide as much information as possible about your configuration/ devices etc and the log from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/debugview.mspx
I will try, if my free time permits, to look into the problem

CI & IR remote will probably not ever be supported

v 0.1.0.1 - 2007.11.12
---------

- fixed bug when there is no seperate Capture filter
- fixed bug with hard-coded LowBandF, HighBandF, SwitchF for DVB-S tuning
- added more error logging
- tweaked tuning

[SiLæncer]

v 0.1.0.6 available
- fixed bug for TwinHan AD-SP400 CI
- fixed bug for DVB-C Twinhan 2033 Mantis
- fixed bug in put_Range introduced in a private release
- fixed bug for KNC One
- added configuration file
a) those that can't tune to DVB-S2 channels try changing the default 8VSB
to 8PSK value - newer drivers use new value for 8PSK signalling
b) DiSEqC configuration for now is always COMMITED

v 0.1.0.7 - 2007.11.20
---------

- fixed bug when tuner reports signal statistics on more than one topology node

[SiLæncer]

v 0.1.0.8 - 2007.11.24
---------

- fixed tuning for Airstar-2 with final BDA 4.4.1 drivers
- removed "failed put_FrequencyMultiplier" message, most drivers don't implement it

[SiLæncer]

v 0.1.0.10 beta - 2008.01.23
----------
- added support for Hauppauge proprietary interface (8PSK tuning and DiSEqC)
- Hauppauge DiSEqC has not been tested (couldn't find a user to perform tests)

[SiLæncer]

v 0.1.0.10 beta1 - 2008.01.25
----------
- added support for Hauppauge proprietary interface (8PSK tuning
and DiSEqC)
- Hauppauge DiSEqC has been fixed.

[SiLæncer]

v 0.1.0.11 - 2008.01.28
----------

- new implementation of raw DiSEqC support for Technotrend budget
warning: DiSEqC works only with Technotrend BDA drivers v.4.4.10.x! The v5.0.0.x series does NOT support DiSEqC
- Hauppauge DVB-S2 tuning still in beta phase

Code: [Auswählen]

This is a new BDA interface wrapper for AltDVB v2.2.

The configuration file (Dev_Bda2Driver.cfg) should be placed in the same folder
as the interface (Dev_Bda2Driver.int). If this file doesn't exist, the interface driver
will create a new one with default values.

DVB-S2 signalling:
TechnoTrend users - no change neccessary (DVBS2Signalling signalling value is the default 8VSB)
KNC One users - change the DVBS2Signalling signalling value to: 8PSK
Hauppauge users - change the DVBS2Signalling signalling value to: NBC_8PSK
all other - try 8VSB or 8PSK

S/S2 Pilot and S2 Roll Off:
these values are for the Haupppauge drivers and practically should not be changed

v 0.1.0.12 -
- recompiled with latest Technotrend BDA SDK (1.0.1.21). Now use ttBdaDrvApi_Dll.dll

v 0.2.0.1 - 2010.06.24

- Removed DVBS2Signalling, DiSEqC, S_ROLLOFF settings from config.
- Added FEC support.
- LNB power-off support.
- Vendor-specific BDA extension autodetection. Now supported:
* Technotrend BDA API (use ttBdaDrvApi_Dll.dll). ToneBurst + Raw DiSEqC, LNB power-off, Modulation type selection.
* Hauppauge BDA extension. Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection, S2 Pilot/RollOff settings.
* Conexant BDA extension. Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection, S2 Pilot/RollOff settings (optional), LNB power-off (optional).
* DvbWorld BDA extension. ToneBurst + Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection.
* Turbosight BDA extension. Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection, LNB power-off.
* Twinhan BDA extension. ToneBurst + Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection, LNB power-off.
* TeVii BDA API (TeVii.dll). Raw DiSEqC, LNB power-off, Modulation type selection.
* Omicom BDA extension. ToneBurst + Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection.

v 0.2.0.2 - 2010.07.04

- Change BDA type detection order. Use Turbosight, DVBWorld extension for TeVii devices with old drivers (pre 2009).
- Show Technotrend product name instead tuner filter name.
- Change credits and added project url in device selection dialog.

v 0.2.0.3 - 2010.07.18

- DVB-S tuning code cleanup.

v 0.2.0.4 - 2010.07.25

- Initial DVB-S tuning fixed (power-on, power-off).

This imporatnt fix for Technotrend, KNC ONE, Omicom S2 and other with support diseqc 1.0 via InputRange.
Before v0.2.0.4 Diseqc 1.0 port 1 always selected at first tuning (via InputRange). Now fixed.

v 0.2.0.5 - 2010.08.01

- Experimental Microsoft Windows7 DiSEqC BDA-extension support. Used in Windows7 Media Center (DiSEqC 1.0), if driver provide this extension.
  Most Win7-designed BDA-drivers provide this extension only for DiSEqC 1.0, but specification support RAW DiseqC 1.x/2.x and ToneBurst.
  Current build support only ToneBurst/DiSEqC 1.0 for this extension (but in sources implemented also RAW DiseqC support).
- New configuration file option BDA_TYPE - preffered BDA-extension (Microsoft or TeVii). BDA extension always autodetected and this option can change priority.
