To my knowledge there is no such beast for Linux.  While the hardware may
exist, I'm not aware of public (or even proprietary) drivers for the
devices.  That doesn't mean they don't exist, but I haven't seen anything
about it.  Video processing is one of the areas of real weakness in the
application market for Linux (along with real DTP and to some extent vector
graphics).
