Xtof Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hi all, The CrystalHD BCM70015 is an hardware HD decoder. I may want to put it within laptop. Does anybody has tried this mod ? The 2530p has an available mini-PCIe port when no WWAN card is installed. I used this port to connect a CrystalHD BCM70015 but the card is not detected within bios and consecutively by the OS (Linux here). I suspect a whitelist blocking thing... My 2530p owns an F13 bios unwhitelisted by Tech Inferno Fan but maybe it is only for WLAN cards ? I will try to put this card in the WLAN port.

Xtof Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Well, I answer to myself...This card works very well when placed in the WIFI mini-PCIe port. The WWAN mini-PCIe port is definitely whitelisted.I installed linux drivers and made a couple of tests (I'm using Ubuntu 13.04). I was hoping a drastic reduction of CPU occupation. It is better than the integrated intel GPU but bot outstandly exciting.Bad idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Windows I had like 100% usage to 0.5% on 1080p 60fps @ 25 Mbps videos. You must use MPC-HC to unleash this card. On Linux, was hard for me to setup, and was not very satisfied with the results. Also, on Windows I had to set the output render to "no copy-back" (old video renderer) because the internal CPU or GPU would process back the image and reduce performance. So I guess on Linux you must do the same thing, but I didn't know how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
