Hello,

I work for a small company involved in broadcast.

For the past year, we've been looking for a PCI board that meets
at least the following requirements:

1. Serial Digital Interface input

2. On-board (hardware) MPEG-2 encoder (our app runs on a low-spec PC) which returns a smooth CBR Transport Stream

3. Robust Linux 2.6 device driver

AFAIU, the major player in this space is Optibase's MovieMaker 230 Publisher. AFAICT, they only support 2.4 kernels, and the board is overpriced.

I had hoped that Greg Kroah-Hartman's offer would change the landscape, but I don't think it has.

At this point, I am definitely open to any and all comments, suggestions, and ideas.

Regards.
