I didn't. Check out the DSP pdf. It claims to encode 1080 h.264, so it has some serious abilities. Being a DSP we should be able to support whatever codec we want. For analog SD video capture there are already boards with BSD & Linux support. For analog HD capture, combine the analog to digital board/box with the DSP.

Getting ADCs that work in the GHz range might > be tough, though. What freq do you want in a scope? Anyone have thoughts on using a TV tuner chip mixer to extend the freq range of the SA (to perhaps 1 GHz) without needing an obscenely fast and expensive ADC? (the TUA6034 data sheet is online, and there are probably other, perhaps better, choices) The idea is that TV tuner chips will be inexpensive. Anyone have an idea on how to use the mixer heterodyne trick for an oscilloscope? If the waveform has both low and high frequency components it isn't going to look right. If we have a good A to D board and a good D to A board (OGC), there should be a lot of hardware projects enabled. Add FPGA and/or DSP if needed. Their use as hardware tools (signal generator, scope, SA, etc.) could help with future OH projects, just as RMS started with emacs and gcc. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
