sync. The idea is to stuff audio stream with markers (like in JPEG) to contain
timing information.

board would be feasible.
- The truth is - we were not able to get rid of the backlog in 1999... no matter
how much we increased the production :-)
|
November 1999 |
- MainActor alpha Sequencer looks quite impressive, there are things to fix of
course. But in 2-3 months full blown Linux video editing set should emerge
- November 15-19: See us at Comdex Linux Business Expo - we also got free admission tickets,please contact vleo@linuxmedialabs.com
if you need them
|
October 1999 |
- Started redesign of LML33 in order to switch to Harris video codecs
- Very good feedback (features added to the driver code) from people at CMU
- We're almost through our backlog, should clear it be the end of
the month
- Purchased several hundreds of BT819ATKF chips, they can be used on existing
boards, but some minor revision of the board would be better
|
September 1999 |
- Schematics for audio support daughter-board done
- Starting to get quantity orders, satisfied customers are coming
back and ordering more.
- We decided to manufacture two hundreds more of the original design boards
|
August 1999 |
- Sales are still good and we have a decision to make: speed up LML33Audio
version or manufacture more of the original design boards
- We have to decide whether to use the 1394 board manufactured in Taiwan
(for a better cost) or manufacture ours based on TI reference design -
for better quality (we do not use non-SMD components to cut cost) and openness.
- Canon 'Vistura' DV camera received and we started integration with 1394
board
- Script to convert LML33 MJPEG into AVI encapsultion (so that clips
captured with LML33 can be played back under MS-Windows for example) completed,
tested and placed on our web site

- Sample 1394 boards received
- Tested IEEE1394 drivers for Linux, they are capable of seeing nodes
and performing low level transactions
|
July 1999 |
- We tested a lot of audio cards and found one that works well and are now
offering 1371 based audio PCI card together with LML33 for a
complete audio/video capture/playback system
- Design has started for LML33 version with audio support and 829 decoder
- Design was done for Altera MAX7000 series in system programming cable and
prototype board
- Evaluation of FPGA vendors was done and we decided to use Cypress and Altera
for future designs. Unfortunatly one has to use a lot of MS-Windows tools
to do EDA, which is very painfull.
- We are working on our PCB design process. As a result a little suite of
perl scripts for manipulating Gerber files emerged and was named 'gnucam'.
We will put it on our site for download when it's ready
|
June 1998 |
- The company named Linux Media Labs LLC was registered in the state
of Colorado File #19981109058
