DVD and Enhanced Video Adapter (DEVA)

This is a properitary card that gives the laptop video capture, video output and hardware MPEG2 playback, along with digital audio (AC3) out.

Features

  • Chipset: IBM MPEGCD1
  • MPEG-1, MPEG-2 Hardware decoding
  • Video In (PAL or NTSC)
  • Video Out (composite and SVideo) to PAL or NTSC
  • Dolby Digital AC-3
  • Interface: via. Trident video chipset? Not a PCI device.

Usability under Linux

Probably not going to extend further than the TV out, which is controllable via BIOS. No projects as far as I know exist to support this card under Linux.
