Hi, I am not sure if it is the right place to ask for this quyestion ot not, but this is the only group that I am aware of so I give it a try.
I am working on a home project to make a Farsi TEXT TV hardware and software, both for sending and receiving. The sender is the part that the TV broadcaster will use, and the receiver is the part that will be used on every TV set. Those of you who live in Europe are well familiar with the function (one of the things I miss a lot while in the US). I used to use it every day while I was in Sweden and wrote the specification for the project long time ago, but never had time to do the actual design until now. Philips, the main producer of TEXT TV components, have a standard for Arabic Text TV, but nothing for Farsi my suggestion is to have a code page that is very similar to the one that is used on ISIRI standard for inter-application system (previous to the Unicode standard). Does anyone know any company in Iran or abroad who is working on a similar project and willing to participate in beta testing of my chip/board? The board can also be used to add subtitle to foreign movies, that makes it easier for foreign movies to get into Iranian market than it is today when you need to have large group of sound engineers and "dub:ers" to Dub the movie. The chip design is done, and it is working perfectly in simulation, right now I am designing the test board, and that will be ready in a week or 2 and 2 weeks after that the first prototype will be ready, I think I can "make" my first field test before January 2003. I haven't been in Iran for many years and don't know if Text TV is available in Iran or not, and if it is, is it suportet by IRTV or not? But I did the project just for fun, and I would be more than happy to share it with others as soon as the final test is done, I will add the functionality as a downloadable IP core on http://www.freeip.org Any help is highly appreciated, bA ehterAm, Farhad A. _______________________________________________ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
