List objectives and interests.

List objectives and interests.

[Steve Cookson - IT]

Hi People,

Could I, please, I clarify what the purposes of this list are?

I am developing a system to collect medical raw video based on Linux.  I 
have tested a number of SD and HD adaptors for this project some of 
which have worked to a greater or lesser extent.

Is this the right place for peer-based support for video capture?

I know that SD is a bit old and maybe there is no longer much demand for 
it, in which case I could move to an HD adaptor, but there also doesn't 
seem to be much out there on Linux to capture raw HD either.

So is this list really about Linux TV rather than video capture more 
generally?

Is there a more appropriate list to ask questions about raw video capture?

Any help or pointers very gratefully received.

Regards

Steve.

No, this is the right list for that. The linux-media mailinglist is for
developers and users of anything under drivers/media in the kernel tree.

With regards to HD: while HD is well supported for embedded systems, there
are really no V4L2 drivers for consumer HDTV capture boards. The closest is
an out-of-tree driver for a DVI capture board (Osprey 820e), but there is
nothing for HDMI capture.

What does embedded systems mean, you mean like the decklink proprietary 
software?

No, I'm referring to SoC support, e.g. support for the HDTV capabilities of
a Samsung exynos SoC etc.
