+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bktr
+.Nd video capture driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd bktr* at pci? dev ? function ?
+.Cd radio* at bktr?
+.Pp
+.Cd option BROOKTREE_ALLOC_PAGES=nnn
+.Cd option BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT=XXX
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI video capture and VBI capture on low cost,
+high performance boards.
+This should support most video cards based on the
+Brooktree Bt848/849/878/879 Video Capture Chip.
+The driver also supports FM Radio if the Tuner supports it.
+.Pp
+Specifically, the following cards are known to work:
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
+Hauppage Wincast TV and WinTV/PCI
+STB TV PCI Television Tuner
+Miro PC TV
+Intel Smart Video Recorder III
+AverMedia cards
+Video Highway XTreme
+VideoLogic Captivator PCI
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The driver currently supports the following features:
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
+PCI to PCI dma transfer
+clipping
+yuv
+rgb16
+rgb24
+rgb32
+.Ed
+.Pp
+On these cards, tuners and other components are interconnected with an I2C bus.
+The Brooktree848 chips act as a master device on the bus to control them.
+.Pp
+The following kernel configuration options are available:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxx
+.It Cd option BROOKTREE_ALLOC_PAGES=nnn
+Specifies the number of contiguous pages to allocate when successfully
+probed.
+The default number of pages allocated by the kernel is 216.
+This means that there are (216*4096) bytes available for use.
+.It Cd option BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT="(BROOKTREE_PAL | BROOKTREE_NTSC)"
+One of these options can be used to set the default video format for the driver.
+This fixed random hangs and lockups with the VideoLogic Captivator PCI card.
