    BDA Interface v0.2.0.1 For AltDVB

    This is a new BDA interface wrapper for AltDVB v2.2.

    Installation:ttBdaDrvApi_Dll.dll, TeVii.dll must be placed in directory with AltDVB.exe

    The configuration file (Dev_Bda2Driver.cfg) should be placed in the same folder as the interface (Dev_Bda2Driver.int). If this file doesn't exist, the interface driver will create a new one with default values.

    S2 Pilot and S2 Roll Off
    These values are for the Haupppauge drivers and practically should not be changed

    Version History
    v 0.2.0.1 - 2010.06.24
    • Removed DVBS2Signalling, DiSEqC, S_ROLLOFF settings from config.
    • Added FEC support.
    • LNB power-off support.
    • Vendor-specific BDA extension autodetection. Now supported:
      • Technotrend BDA API (use ttBdaDrvApi_Dll.dll). ToneBurst + Raw DiSEqC, LNB power-off, Modulation type selection.
      • Hauppauge BDA extension. Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection, S2 Pilot/RollOff settings.
      • Conexant BDA extension. Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection, S2 Pilot/RollOff settings (optional), LNB power-off (optional).
      • DvbWorld BDA extension. ToneBurst + Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection.
      • Turbosight BDA extension. Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection, LNB power-off.
      • Twinhan BDA extension. ToneBurst + Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection, LNB power-off.
      • TeVii BDA API (TeVii.dll). Raw DiSEqC, LNB power-off, Modulation type selection.
      • Omicom BDA extension. ToneBurst + Raw DiSEqC, Modulation type selection.


    v 0.1.0.12 - 2010.06.17


    v 0.1.0.11 - 2008.01.28
    • new implementation of raw DiSEqC support for Technotrend budget
      DiSEqC works only with Technotrend BDA drivers v.4.4.10.x and v5.0.0.12
    • Hauppauge DVB-S2 tuning still in beta phase


    v 0.1.0.10 beta1 - 2008.01.25
    • added support for Hauppauge proprietary interface (8PSK tuning
      and DiSEqC)
    • Hauppauge DiSEqC has been fixed.


    v 0.1.0.9
    • private TT DiSEqC test release


    v 0.1.0.8 - 2007.11.24
    • fixed tuning for Airstar-2 with final BDA 4.4.1 drivers
    • removed "failed put_FrequencyMultiplier" message, most drivers don't implement it


    v 0.1.0.7 - 2007.11.20
    • fixed bug when tuner reports signal statistics on more than one topology node


    v 0.1.0.6 - 2007.11.19
    • code cleanup


    v 0.1.0.4 - 2007.11.15
    • fixed bug for TwinHan AD-SP400 CI
    • fixed bug for DVB-C Twinhan 2033 Mantis
    • fixed bug in put_Range introduced in a private release
    • code cleanup


    v 0.1.0.2 - 2007.11.14
    • fixed bug for KNC One
    • added configuration file
      • those that can't tune to DVB-S2 channels try changing the default 8VSB
        to 8PSK value - newer drivers use new value for 8PSK signalling
      • DiSEqC configuration for now is always COMMITED


    v 0.1.0.1 - 2007.11.12
    • fixed bug when there is no seperate Capture filter
    • fixed bug with hard-coded LowBandF, HighBandF, SwitchF for DVB-S tuning
    • added more error logging
    • tweaked tuning


    v 0.1.0.0 - 2007.11.09
    A few weeks ago I have decided to try to write an alternative BDA device interface
    for AltDVB v2.2.0 build 3912 for my TT S2-3200 card with v5.0.0.x BDA drivers.
    It might work with other BDA compatible devices (DVB-S/T/C), but no guarantee is given.
    1. please don't ask me for the device interface SDK for AltDVB v2.2 since I
      simply don't have it (the knowledge to write this implementation was gathered
      just by observing when and which information is exchanged between the main
      application and the original Dev_BdaDriver.int)
      • I might release in the future my knowledge on the device interface
      • if AltX wishes that this information shall not ever be disclosed I will honor
        his decision
      • no, I am not in any contact with AltX, nor know his whereabouts
        (wish him all the best though

    2. it might work with other BDA compatible devices, but no guarantee is given
    3. Technotrend's BDA drivers (still) have difficulties with DiSEqC 1.0 under BDA,
      especially when tuning to 8PSK transponders
    4. DVB-S support has been tested only with the TT S2-3200 card (aka SkystarHD)
    5. DVB-T support has been tested only with the TwinHan MagicBox Pro VP-704A
      (aka Pinnacle PCTV-310e)
    6. don't have access to DVB-C hardware, so it's not tested at all
    7. if you want to report an anomaly/bug/strange behavior please be specific, provide
      as much information as possible about your configuration/ devices etc and
      the log from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...debugview.mspx
      I will try, if my free time permits, to look into the problem
    8. CI & IR remote will probably not ever be supported

    Re: BDA Interface v0.2.0.1 For AltDVB

    AltDVB v2.2 BDA device v.0.2.0.2

    Code:
    - Change BDA type detection order. Use Turbosight, DVBWorld 
       extension for TeVii devices with old drivers (pre 2009).
    - Show Technotrend product name instead tuner filter name.
    - Change credits and added project url in device selection dialog.
    
    P.S. v 0.1.0.12 and later not need any MSVC runtime.
    + Please update topic name (update or remove version).
