I'm trying to write some code for a PCI card that does video capture at broadcast resolution.
However I have no SDK and there is none available that I can find to download/buy.

Often the SDK is free from the manufacturer to encourage third party
tool development, but from what I can see that is not the case here.
Anyway, I own the hardware and would like to find some advice on
where to begin.

I am writing a tool that does very simple video capture with the MatroxRTX100 card.

1) Should I try to snoop the code of programs that make calls to the PCI card? If so how can I do this?

2) How can I find out about the HW initialization and sending commands?

3) Can I sniff the code as the application which uses the hardware is running?


Cheers,
Ken.
