NAME

       vidcat - capture a frame from a video4linux device

SYNOPSIS

       vidcat [-h?blgV] [-d <device>] [-f jpeg|ppm|png] [-i tv|comp1|com1|s-video] [-n pal|ntsc|secam] [-q <1..100>] [-s WIDTHxHEIGHT] [-o <file>]

DESCRIPTION

       vidcat  captures  a frame from a video4linux device and writes the result to the standard output device. With the following options you can
       define output format, size etc..

OPTIONS

       -d device
	      Use an alternate v4l device, '/dev/video' is the default device.

       -b     This applies only to PPM output. With this option the PPM ouput is written in binary mode.

       -f ppm|jpeg|png|yuv4mpeg
	      Define the file format to use for the output stream. The default is "jpeg".

       -g     Use greyscale instead of RGB24 for the output data.

       -i tv|comp1|comp2|s-video
	      Set the input channel to use. The default value is none, which means the preset of the device is used.

       -l     Loops until CTRL+C is pressed. This is the default for the YUV4MPEG output.

       -n pal|ntsc|secam
	      Select the input norm for the grabbing device. The default value is none.

       -o file
	      Use the named file for output instead of standard out.

       -p c|g|y|Y
	      Set the palette to use: c = RGB24, g=GREY, y=YUV420P, Y=YUV422P.

       -q 1..100
	      Set the quality for JPEG output. The value could be a number between 1 and 100. The default value is 80.

       -s WIDTHxHEIGHT
	      Define the size of the output frame in pixels. The default setting is 320x240.

       -V     Show version number and exit.

NAME

       scantv - scan a v4l device for TV stations.

SYNOPSIS

       scantv [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       scantv scans a v4l device for available TV stations and writes a xawtv/fbtv config file.

OPTIONS

       -i input
	      set tv  input (Television/Composite1/S-video and so on).	Default is Television.

       -n norm
	      set tv  norm.   scantv will ask interactively if none is given.

       -f table
	      set frequency table.  scantv will ask interactively if none is given.

       -o outfile
	      specify output file.  If none is specified, scantv writes to stdout.

       -c device
	      specify video device file.  Default is /dev/video0.

       -D driver
	      specify video driver name.  Default is "libv4l".

       -C device
	      specify vbi device file.	Default is /dev/vbi0.

       -s     skip channel scan, just write norm + freqtab to the config file.

       -a     Do a full scan (i.e. all frequencies, not just the ones from the frequency table).
