Welcome to the FreeBSD cx88 Wiki
Chi Nickols is the name his mother and father gave him but he won't like when folks use his whole name. His wife doesn't like it the way he does but what he definitely likes doing is fashion but he is struggling to come across time for it. His day job is a human methods assistant but his promotion by no means arrives. He [[http://Merriam-webster.com/dictionary/presently|presently]] lives in Kansas and he isn't going to system on [[http://Dictionary.Reference.com/browse/switching|switching]] it.

This is a wiki for info on the new "cx88" video capture driver for FreeBSD.

== Overview ==
[[http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/cx88|cx88]] is a package that provides kernel drivers and a simple capture application for video/audio capture cards based on the Conexant CX2388x family of PCI bridge chips.

== What the heck is a CX2388x? ==

The Conexant CX2388x is a series of what I informally call "multimedia bridge" chips. A multimedia bridge chip is responsible for providing an interface between a host data bus (e.g. PCI, PCI-express, USB, etc.) and a "frontend" for receiving audio or video signals. Frontends typically consist of a series of highly specialized pieces of silicon, such as RF tuner chips or digital TV demodulator chips. The bridge chip must provide a bus (typically I2C) for controlling frontend devices and expose functions for controlling the transfer of audio/video data across the host bus. Depending on the application, the bridge chip may also expose specialized functions for controlling the reception and decoding of the A/V signals.

== Supported Chips ==

The CX2388x family contains several iterations. The cx88 kernel drivers currently generically support any capture card based on the [[http://www.conexant.com/products/entry.jsp?id=107|CX23880/1/2/3]] flavors.
Support for the newer [[http://www.conexant.com/products/entry.jsp?id=393|CX23885]] PCI-express chip is currently under investigation.
