- Except for lurker, this directory is mostly composed of links
- to documents elsewhere in the DT pertaining to video:
-
-
- * the Lurker's Guide: a repository for the little-known, undocumented
- knowledge that you need in order to write any sort of video app on SGI
- machines. Topics explored in great detail include:
- Video in General
- * Fields: Why Video Is Crucially Different from Graphics
- * Definitions: F1/F2, Interleave, Field Dominance, and More
- * How Big Is Video?
- The VL
- * Displaying In-Memory Video Using OpenGL
- * Displaying Video Using Galileo (ev1)
- * Tips for Writing Your Main (select, event) Loop
- * Choosing an Input Jack
- * Hints for Vid-to-Mem Applications
- SGI Video Devices
- * Taxonomy of the ev1 and cosmo1 Boards
- * Taxonomy of the ev3 and cosmo2 Boards
-
-
- * toolbox/hardware/video/dig_video_spec.ps: SGI Digital Video Specification
- describes the SGI Digital Video specification. The specification defines
- the data format, electrical and mechanical interfaces used to get digital
- video data into and out of the Silicon Graphics platforms via this 60-pin
- connector. This connector is found currently on the Galileo Video cards
- for Indigo and Indigo2, the IndyCam port on the Indy, the IndyVideo board
- and the Cosmo Compress cards for Indigo and Indy.
-
- From page one of the spec:
-
- This document defines the electrical specifications of the SGI
- Digital Video standard and the mechanical interface to the
- digital video port. This interface is used for transporting
- digital video information either in to or out of Silicon
- Graphics machines. There are currently three implementations of
- this interface. Two of them are external connections to SGI
- products - an input only implementation as used by the IndyCam
- digital camera on the Indy workstation, and an input/output
- implementation as found on the Gaileo, Indy Video, Indigo^2
- video add-in products and the Cosmo Compress Motion JPEG
- compression card. The third implementation is the internal
- connection used to connect the Indy Video and Cosmo Compress
- boards together. This specification covers all three of these
- variations.
