Are we interested, or ready for this? Andrew Seddon is offering to provide hardware to port Theora to the DSP Stamp. http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4405077268.html John ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: RE: DSP stamp Date: Friday 29 October 2004 03:50 am From: "Andrew Seddon" <andrew.seddon@camsig.co.uk> To: "'John Kintree'" <jkintree@swbell.net> Cc: <theora-dev@xiph.org> Hi John, (as you d...

...ready". I'll be happy to answer any > questions anyone has. Browsing to find a hardware module that might handle real-time encoding of video in theora format is something that I can do. Doing the port is out of my league. Very sorry. According to http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4405077268.html "The DSP Stamp comes preinstalled with a serial bootloader and uClinux, and a development board is also available." I guess even if theora was ported to the DSP Stamp, there would also be the matter of connecting a video source to the development board to test the speed and qua...

...at can be found at www.theora.org. Development has progressed to the point that the value of the codec can be seen. That value could be enhanced, I believe, by implementing the codec in silicon. When I saw the Oct. 22, 2004 announcement of your DSP stamp at http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4405077268.html it seemed like your module might be a candidate for embedded hardware that could allow camcorders or webcams to encode video into theora format in real-time. I look forward to any further information you can share about this. Regards, John On Thursday 28 October 2004 01:33 pm, you wrote:...
