High-end sound cards provide as high as 24-bit or even 32-bit audio with a sampling rate as high as 192-kHz or 384-kHz in the latest sound cards. These specifications roughly define the audio quality of the sound card, although there are other factors included such as gold-plated connectors, Electromagnetic-Interference shielding, etc. Pinnacle PCTV 400e USB 2.0 BDA Device.

Overview/Feautres
These Miro and Pinnacle cards were the original PCTV series, produced from December 1997 onwards. They are based on the Bt848 chip (Also see Bttv devices (bt848, bt878)). The PCTV Pro model includes an FM radio chip.
These cards feature:
- TV input: RF connector for a PAL/NTSC/SECAM .. (Resolution: 768x576 and 720x576 (PAL)) .. ??? with adapter to IEC connector (PAL)
- Video Input: S-Video, Composite Video (RCA socket)
- Audio Outputs: 3.5 mm jack
- FM radio RF signal (PRO only): Internal RC jack with flying wire to IEC connector
- Video composite out (internal)
- These Pinnacle cards are supplied with a remote controller which seems to be the same as for the Pinnacle PCTV 50i.
Components Used
- TV tuner: Temic 4002 FH5 (also possibly Philips on some cards)
- Analog demodulator: MSP3410D-B4 (msp3400)
- FM radio chip (PRO models only): MSP3410
- Video/audio decoder: bt848
Identification
See the lspci output provided below.
Making it work
Connecting the card
- The TV antenna signal is connected to the antenna input.
- The card has no on board sound A/D so a cable (supplied) should be connected from the card audio output connector to a generic sound input (on either your sound card or your motherboard). Sound will needs to be redirected using sox (also see the Talk page for some examples).
- The card itself lacks an input for the remote control. Rather, the remote control sensor cable (supplied) is connected to a 9 pin serial input (usually there is one on your motherboard).
Drivers
Module Options:

The cards may be detected automatically, but at least for the Pro card is is required to specify options explicitly in /etc/modules.cond (for Fedora, other distributions may do it differently):

The card was autodetected by bttv as card=39, but didn't work. However when I added
it started working! Must be some bug, since only 'tuner=33' didn't work either. Pinnacle PCTV Pro bought in Sweden (PAL).
