Ok, this is an odd question:I've had a new spark of interest in that philips tv tuner board and i've had some interesting findings. To make a very long story short, maclover5 and i discussed some issues with the 7-pin s-video input on av macs. In my other post about pinouts, there is listed the pinouts for this 7-pin port. 4 are standard video stuff, but the other 3 are interesting. One is a 12volt 250 mA power output. (which i know for a fact works, i have a friend that plugs his old school apple conferencing camera into that and it splits into an rca and power cord for the camera) the other 2 are for "I^2C clock (philips serial bus)" and "I^2C data (philips serial bus) exact quotes except for the carrot, it's I squared, i can't do that here.
Soooo.... my question is what is this philips serial bus????
Some ideas that we've thought of could be that I could control this board via software. Like channels, etc. The mac tv operated the tv tuner via software, correct?
AFAIK, these pinouts were for all 7 pin video inputs up to the 8600. Including 68k av models.
I've been searching philips serial bus, but i haven't had much luck, i hope somebody here has an idea.
