Introduction
In the spring of 2005, Micronas Semiconductors announced the APB 7202A nGene dual-channel PCI-Express multimedia controller with support for two DTV transport streams and analog video. The analog component is handled by a separate chip, as the nGene chip does not support analog decoding.
Supported Cards
There is currently no Linux driver for this controller chip, and hence no support for PCIe cards bearing the nGene. There are rumors that driver development is underway, so far unsubstantiated.
nGene Based Cards
PixelView PlayTV PCX600
This card, from Prolink Microsystems in Taiwan, was demonstrated already at CeBit 2005 as the first PCI Express dual channel multimedia controller; cf. press release. It uses the nGene controller.
They claimed at the time that their PV-A425E model would be available "soon", but two years later there is still no trace of it.
