<xiangfu> Hi about the video in. for now we only supported the Green jack? right? the 'composite video in' not support yet.
<wolfspraul> yes I think so
<xiangfu> yes.
<xiangfu> aw_, you want use the new autotest boot.bin in RC3 test?
<aw_> yes, where's the newest bin? thanks. :-)
<xiangfu> wait. it needs attach the RC3 CRCs to the new test bin. I will create it for you.
<aw_> xiangfu, great, tks.

<xiangfu> upload a new one there?
<aw_> yes, upload a new one, the older one I kept here though.
<aw_> great, tks, with _.ac5975c._, so you can know which commit, right?
<aw_> mm... i think so since you used the first seven letters of committed code. i got it.

<qi-bot> The Firmware build was successfull, see images here: http://fidelio.qi-hardware.com/~xiangfu/build-milkymist/milkymist-firmware-09162011-0518/
<aw_> xiangfu, be noticed that _.crc.ac5975c._ bin has a condition shown up: camera's output mixed with VGA pattern when first pressing 'h' then pressing 'd'.
<xiangfu> aw_, thanks. I will fix that. not cleanup after take a picture from video.
<lekernel> xiangfu, only green jack works atm, and this is composite
<lekernel> mwalle, (early ack) yes, that was an attempt to increase resolution
<xiangfu> oh
<lekernel> (windowmanager) nope, using gnome now *g*
<xiangfu> less function. and expensive then Milkymist one $595 :)
<xiangfu> when m1 can load image. we can call m1 is a VIP device
<xiangfu> Video and Image Processing (VIP)
<the_real_crimper> nice
<stekern>     DINT_DC;                // Interrupts disabled
<stekern> oops sorry
<lekernel> xiangfu, do you think you could make a very nice edited video with 1) unboxing of the M1 2) good camera setup with lights and black background 3) video stream of the GUI when writing a small patch from scratch (with comments)
<lekernel> (just forget about the "security" aspect, it's easier than that to damage FPGAs... according to a xilinx engineer: just fill the matrix with SRLs and throw a walking bit pattern at 500-ish MHz in there, and you'll probably melt the solders. but the encoding information is very interesting)
<wpwrak> so xilinx have invented the auto-reflow process ? amazing
<wpwrak> very restrained for a press release. "could bring", "may also", ...
<wpwrak> "computer-based solutions" .. hmm, so M1 isn't a computer ? :)
<kristianpaul> is not a PC
<wpwrak> but i'd still call it a computer. worse things have been called that ;-))
<wpwrak> i think the overall tone should be a bit more assertive. not like in a research paper where you're hedging your bets are very careful to avoid any claims your colleagues will be more than happy to disprove
<kristianpaul> vjing in 3 minutes is a good title i think
<wpwrak> "hope that this can lead to" how about "chose this to" (and then maybe merge the two sentences. although long sentences are tricky in this kind of material)
<kristianpaul> and is actually true
<wpwrak> yeah. we really need to bring that boot time down ;-)
<kristianpaul> is this a launch for developers too?
<wpwrak> developers need no special invitation :)
<kristianpaul> :-)
<kristianpaul> wpwrak: when i receive my m1 it booted in 3-4 seconds i remenber
<kristianpaul> was damn fast !
<kristianpaul> still Early adopters?
<kristianpaul> it wasnt the rc2 batch?
<wpwrak> maybe with the memory getting faster, it could compile patches in the background, while rendering :)
<kristianpaul> or this time is VJ Early adopters?
<lekernel> background compilation is more a CPU problem than a memory problem
<kristianpaul> dual core ! ;)
<lekernel> it'd probably work easily with a dual-core lm32
<wpwrak> yeah, the "early adopters" can be misread
<wpwrak> now there's a plan :)
<lekernel> no one knows about the "early developer kit", don't worry
<kristianpaul> okay ;-D
<kristianpaul> but early still like..
<lekernel> (and this is why I'm writing press releases now, which is quite honestly an activity that I hate)
<kristianpaul> ok is an arealy thing lets wait it get mature
<wpwrak> (compilation) but i think before taking heroic measures, i think the compiler wants looking at. at least the bits i looked at (not code generation yet) look quite inefficient. not sure if they contribute much to the overall runtime, though.
<kristianpaul> s/arealy/early
<wpwrak> the joy of becoming an entrepreneur :)
<kristianpaul> lekernel: personally how you feel when talking ot other VJs?
<lekernel> oh, they love this stuff
<lekernel> especially with the camera support and the new design :)
<kristianpaul> excelent, what they said about bought one? or making patches for it?
<kristianpaul> cause the VJ people i know are happy doing all thet could from their laptop ..
<kristianpaul> my point is that milkymist *could* be better selled like a vide* syntheis "appliance" than a tool for VJ's, considering you can automate lots of stuff already
<kristianpaul> of course brochure points that i thikn
<lekernel> yes and they do that from a Mac laptop only because they like good design. fortunately, it seems they also like the M1 design :-)
<lekernel> but I could emphasize a bit more the "low latency" aspect though
<wpwrak> would a DJ consider routing the sound that goes to the speakers through the M1 ?
<wpwrak> if yes, you could have effectively zero latency
<kristianpaul> (design) and they dont matter have to plug external keyboard/mouse and screen?
<kristianpaul> s/matter/mind
<wpwrak> that's a nice substitution ;-)
