Hello all, since you've been discussing - input facilities - interfaces - HMD these last days, the Archos PMA430 http://www.archos.com/products/overview/pma_400_tech_specs.html might be an interesting device to consider: - NTSC/PAL video out (i've tested it with several HMDs) - video in with realtime MPEG encoding (dedicated DSP for this purpose) - USB host!! interface (can drive BT adapters) - 30GB harddisk - Linux using a 2.4 kernel => full access to sources and potential extensions I'm experimenting with 2 of those right now - and basically further progress is mainly limited/delayed by available time. External devices can (from my point of view) best be implemented using Gumstix boards http://www.gumstix.com/ which have an integrated BT transceiver and a 400MHz StrongARM core. best regards Ralf --------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Ralf Ackermann _Multimedia Communications |/ | | |\/| Merckstrasse 25 |\ |_| | | 64283 Darmstadt, Germany Tel.: (+49) 6151 16-6138 Fax: (+49) 6151 16-6152 --------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.kom.tu-darmstadt.de/~rac --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing list
