The issues are memory bandwith and PCI bus implementation. The Triton seems to be well implemented where as the Natoma, found in PPRO, I have my doubts about. For instance, I have a P100 / Triton chipset over here and a PPRO 200MHz / Natoma chipset. On the PPRO 200MHz , I get a few dma errors while capturing where as in the P100 I get less dma errors . The condition of both implementations with respect to video is that I get a better image capture/display at 640x480 32bits 30fps on the P100 than on the PPRO 200MHz. The PPROs 200MHz are nice for number crunching for instance, metgrab ( http://www.ishiboo.com/~nirva/Projects/metgrab/ ) is a cool video capture application which does real time video effects however you need a PPRO for this baby. For applications such as metgrab, the more memory bandwith available to the system the better it is. Unfortunalty, the Natoma chipset does not offer support for SDRAM and the best that we can do is get 50ns EDO ram. So for Pentium systems the fastest memory for video operations is SDRAM. For Pentium PRos with Natoma chipset is 50 ns EDO. For video capture to disk, is a little bit more tricky because I am not up to date with the fastest scsi disks. It is almost a safe bet that you will need ccd (concatenated disk driver) and more than one disk. You always can do "man ccd" to find out more about it. On the video display side you want something like an S3 968 PCI based card with VRAM -- a fast video controller coupled with fast memory. Playing with video applications you can eat up your color palette pretty quickly so must of the time I run at 32bits with a resolution of 1024x768 with my Diamond Stealth 64 video (s3 968) with 4MB of memory of VRAM. Corrections of comments are welcomed.

Anyhow, it is a software configured soundcard, so it seems that AEDSP16 might wack the card in place so that it will perform MSS0 protocols. The documentation for the card states that it is an MSS compatible card, but when I config BSD for MSS0 at at the default settings for the card, BSD cannot find it. You know, it says MSS0 not found at 0x220 message. So, I was poking around the source code for the sound stuff, and started reading about AEDSP16. I have no idea if InitAEDSP16 will initialize the DT card properly, but that's what the source code suggests to try first, before changing the init commands in the code. The question I had was: Where do I insert the InitAEDSP16 call? It is supposed to be done before the probes for the sound devices. I can modify the files.i386 to include aedsp16.c source whenever I include a 'snd*' device. But, I cannot figure out a good place to insert InitAEDSP16.

The vendor is pretty tight-lipped about providing details of the interface to the card. Same old story: they think they've invented the greatest thing since sliced bread! At least that was the story a year or so ago when I was looking to buy some sound cards.

If you're referring to embedded content ala: I haven't been able to get FreeBSD's Netscape to do these at all, while the Linux version under FreeBSD will do it just fine. I grabbed some source for Netscape plug-ins that just system()s the command of your choice, built Linux .so's to handle the MIDI, AU, WAV, AIFF, etc. mime types, and installed in ~/.netscape/plugins. It works well enough with the Linux version, but dain bramaged Netscape seems to want to ignore plug-ins if there's an entry in the user or global mailcap file for that content type (even though it won't use these mailcap mappings for embedded content). This of course prevents other MIME-aware programs (Lynx, Mutt, ELM/Metamail, etc.) from getting these mappings, which I wasn't willing to sacrifice. No clue why Netscape didn't include plug-in support for *BSD Netscape. It'd be nice to have, but until they fix the .mailcap conflict, I'll just leave it disabled.

Mostly interested in TV-in-window as well as frame and animation capture. I'm inclinded toward PCI, but willing to consider ISA. Monitoring the list recently, I've seen the Matrox Meteor (PCI) and Intel Smart Video Recorder III (PCI) mentioned recently. However, I don't know anything about the system requirements these two cards have though. Any help here would be appreciated. E.g. what requirements do these have on the system video card? It'd be nice if the card worked with my existing Hercules Stingray 64/Video 2Meg (though I can change cards if I need to). Also I wouldn't be using it for MBONE (ISDN/ADSL is just too expensive in my area), so tv-in-window, frame/animation capture, and audio capture if available would be the main concerns.

We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.1.1 of Festival. Festival offers a general framework for building speech synthesis systems as well as including examples of various modules. As a whole it offers full text to speech through a number APIs: from shell level, though a Scheme command interpreter, as a C++ library, client/server mores and an Emacs interface. Festival is multi-lingual (currently English, Welsh and Spanish) though English is the most advanced. The system is written in C++ and uses the Edinburgh Speech Tools Library for low level architecture and has a Scheme (SIOD) based command interpreter for control. Documentation is given in the FSF texinfo format which can generate, a printed manual, info files and HTML. NOTE: Festival is a young system and constantly being developed, this release is not a final polished system and although it has been checked on many systems, it should still be consider BETA quality code. This distribution includes: * Full English text to speech * Full C++ source for modules, SIOD interpreter, and Scheme library * Lexicon based on OALD (distributed with permission) * Edinburgh Speech Tools, low level C++ library * British English diphone database (for residual LPC resynthesis) (8k (2.3M) and 16k (8.5M) versions of the database are included) * Full documentation (html, postscript and GNU info format) Festival version 1.1.1 Beta is available by anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.cstr.ed.ac.uk/pub/festival/1.1.1/ And through the Festival Download Page http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/download.html The Festival home page, offering descriptions of the system, examples and online demos, can be found at http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival.html Requirements To run Festival you need: * A Unix machine, Festival has compiled and run on Suns (SunOS and Solaris), FreeBSD, Linux, SGIs and DEC Alphas but should be portable to any standard Unix machine. * GNU C++ version 2.7.2 or 2.6.3 * GNU Make any recent version * Audio hardware, /dev/audio (Suns, Linux and FreeBSD) and NCD's NAS network transparent audio system are supported directly but Festival supports the execution of any Unix command that can play audio files. * GNU readline library is recommended though not necessary Restrictions The system is made available for free for research, educational and individual use only, for commercial licencing please contact the authors. Unlike previous versions this version may be redistributed for non-commercial use. If you wish to use it in a commercial system you should contact us first. Research distributions, e.g. bundled with other systems, are allowed. Commercial unmodified re-distributions (e.g. on CDROM with collections of other software) are not permitted but will probably be permitted for free if you ask. We do intend that later versions may be distributed of such CDROMs without requiring permission but until we have a more stable system we'd like to control that. NEWS Since our last release (1.0.0 Nov) Festival has had the following enhancements - -- A new set of (distributable) diphones (roger) - -- BSD socket client/server support - -- A start at programmable text modes for mode specific processing - -- Fully programmable (rule-based) intonation module - -- Tokenizations now externally controlled, and improved - -- Better Scheme i/o (a format function and pretty printer) - -- Externally specified utterance end, (and better definition) - -- Many little (and important) bugs fixed (thanks beta testers) - -- Documentation overhaul FUTURE The new diphone set still requires more work and we are likely to release frequent updates to it.

I wrote the Bt848 driver. I was the first one to write tv and then beg for others to enhance it. Contributors to "tv" are: Jordan Hubbard Luigi Rizzo A cool "tv" like program called metgrab with real time "xv" like effects was written by: Danny Dulai nirva@ishiboo.com For programming info on the Bt848 chipset , you can contact Brookree: Brooktree Corporation 9868 Scranton Road San Diego, Ca. 92121-3707 tel (619) 452-7580 fax (619) 452-1249 Direct Transfer from the BT848 to video cards: This means that the BT848 acts as a PCI Bus Master and can initiate dma to any device on the PCI bus . For instance, a video graphic's display buffer. So it is possible for the Bt848 to directly transfer the captured frame to lets say an S3 968's display buffer with no cpu intervention -- that is PCI to PCI . Direct draw primary surface, is just a fancy term used in MS Direct Draw to represent the video graphic's display buffer. Primary is the currently used buffer as supposed to alternate buffer. With direct draw it is possible to use multiple buffers for the purpose of doing page flippping;specially, at the start of VSYNCH for smooth video display. Usually in Overlay mode , the video display does the yuv color expansion and an pixel interpolation. In Primary mode the Bt848 does the scaling however it does not have pixel interpolation. I don't have any info on Hauppauge's tuner however I would just get the part number and contact the manufacture and ask him for the specs.

Having read it through, I guess the biggest remaining question I have before going out and buying one of the Wincast boards is whether the Bt848 driver is pretty insensitive of the PCI video card being used or if it makes some assumptions that it's going to be transfering to an S3 968-based card. I.e. what's required of PCI video card for the current Bt848 driver to be able to work with it? I've got the specs on my Hercules card, so I'd be willing to work through some integration problems if needed. My experience in this area isn't extensive, but I'd be interested in digging into it.

The requirement for the graphics is is that it presents a linear frame buffer and that is mapped in . Other considerations such as RGB vs BGR can be handled by the Bt848. If push comes to shove I would just dump the Hercules card and get one that can do the job. Assuming worst case scenario, that you can't directly dump video to your display buffer. You can still use the Bt848 to capture video and display it using "tv" which uses X to load an image to the card using the shared memory extensions in the X server. Please note that shared memory is for inter process communcation and is not necessarily for inter-device communication.
