I have one. Can't get GBpvr to "see" both tuners. Sees 1 tuner as a "Vide Oh"
which is Adaptecs single tuner USB (I think).
Works just fine with BeyondTV; both tuners are seen there.
Am currently in search of a way to see both in GBpvr (thats how I found this Post.)
Am running XP-pro (not MCE).

sub,
can't find anything in Searching forums about the Dual Tuner AVC-3610.
Can you, maybe, point us to some adult leadership??

I dont have any direct experience with this device myself, but another user had indicated it worked for him: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ht=adaptec

According to his comments you should have to set up two capture sources, both set as Adaptec VideOh devices, one as device #1, the other as device #2.

I have it up and running the other post should explain how but if you need any further assistance feel free to pm me for more instructions....


P.S. You can add avc-3610 to the direct.ini file and it will show that as your capture source in config. just add these lines:

[Adaptec AVC-3610]
INIT_MODE=DEFAULT
INIT_MSP=0
FILTER_CROSSBAR=Adaptec USB Crossbar
FILTER_CAPTURE=Adaptec USB Capture Device
FILTER_TV_TUNER=Adaptec USB TvTuner

PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_IN=TVAudio In
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_OUT=TVAudio Out
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_TUNER_IN=Audio Tuner In

I have placed your entries into my direct.ini file and both tuners are working. However when recording I use Low quality and the settings are not being used. Low quality should be 352/480, video bitrate of 2000 and I have set the audio to 192. I am however getting 720/480, video bitrate of 9000 and audio of 384. Do you know if you are having this same problem with yours.

[bigyoda1281]

You know to be honest i do not know that i have ever really checked i will take a look tommorow night and get back with you

It'll most likely only be able to set the video bitrate, not the audio bitrate or the resolution - these will stay as the defaults.

[dark_half]

It doesn't make any adjustments. I can open GraphEdit and set the resolution and video/audio bitrates that way but they do not seem to stick if I reboot.

This is a likely sign that Adaptec used their own proprietary mechanism for bitrate control, instead of implementing the standard. If you post the GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log for a recording, I should be able to confirm this.

If this is the case, then there isnt really anything I can do about it - I dont have one of these devices, and I dont have any contacts at Adaptec for info.
