Even simple changes to the board are expensive.  We are open to the
idea of doing a different board, but only after OGD1 has made
significant profit, and only if another product will increase our
profit.  The primary goal is to become profitable enough that
potential partners will find it sensible to invest and help us pay for
ASIC development and fabrication.  We created Traversal as a
for-profit for this very reason.

That being said, OGD1 is a dev platform.  It's always possible to
bodge on other components.  In fact, given the openness of the design,
we hope to get others to develop add-on boards that will attach to it.

hello everybody, I come back on the list (*)

        Currently, the ogd has two dvi and one s-video output:
        everything goes
        out since it's a graphics-card.
        However I suggest something more closed to the electronic
        consumers
        which have certainly a camera (digital or still analog). Hence,
        would it
        be a good idea if a variant of ogc had:
        - one dvi output
        - one s-video output
        - and one s-video input (or something else more suitable) ?
        Does the current ogd design can go in this direction without to
        much
        pain and money ?
        It's just a way for the user to read his/her movie from the
        camera on
        the monitor.

        Nowadays, the market provides PC with a Tv-card on which one can
        plug a
        camera as well. These Pc are designed for a familial use, a
        dual-monitor
        isn't a requirement for this purpose.
        So, a graphic-card which can in/out video could be a alternative
        for the
        OEMs since a lot of household get already the tv and could find
        useless
        to buy a pc with a tv-card.

        (*) related to the Linuxtag, I hope that the stuff for the
        posters was
        satisfying
