| DVDO/VP30 | Firmware Version 1.10 | Serial |
NOTE: This driver has been superseded by the more inclusive VPnn driver, which handles both the VP30 and VP50 models in one driver. So please transition to that driver as soon as possible, as this one will be removed at some point.
This driver controls the DVDO VP30 HD video scaler. The VP30 is a full featured video scaler/switcher that supports composite, S-Video, component/RGB, DVI, HDMI, and SDI inputs, as well as being able to switch audio sources. It is the follow-up to the iScan HD processor which is also supported by CQC.
Some values are not accepted by the VP30 when it is in certain states. For instance, you cannot set the Hue when the current input doesn't support a Hue value, such as component. When this happens, the driver will reject the written value to let you know it failed, based on a rejection from the VP30.
The VP30 uses a serial connection. It has a configurable baud rate, but this driver only supports the highest rate, which is 57,600 baud. It doesn't make sense to run any slower. So you must configure the VP30 to use this rate.
It uses a three wire straight through cable, so you can use a standard 9-pin or a minimal 3-pin serial cable.
This section lists the fields that the driver makes available, their types, minimum and maximum values, etc...
