| krokodilerian | anyone online who i can bother with questions about the hardware? I'm looking into the options for the second version of the FOSDEM videobox | 12:10 |

| mithro | krokodilerian: You can bother me with questions | 20:56 |
| mithro | krokodilerian: But I'm guessing you probably aren't around any more? | 20:56 |
| mithro | krokodilerian: An email would probably be a good idea | 20:56 |
| mithro | krokodilerian: I'm currently travelling so my response time will be slower than previously | 20:58 |
| krokodilerian | i'm around | 21:07 |
| krokodilerian | but yes, an email might be better, there are too many questions, and probably i'll do a coherent design first | 21:08 |
| mithro | krokodilerian: Do you want to just quickly tell us at a high level what you are thinking? | 21:09 |
| krokodilerian | yes | 21:09 |
| krokodilerian | so, the current fosdem box is a bmd h264 encoder connected to a bananapi with and ssd and a switch | 21:10 |
| krokodilerian | and for the slides box there's also a scaler in front of the bmd | 21:10 |
| krokodilerian | now, this has multiple problems, one of which is that the software for the bmd is crap | 21:10 |
| krokodilerian | so, i'd like to replace the scaler and the encoder with the hdmi2usb, with some extras: | 21:11 |
| krokodilerian | to have the vga input too, and for the device just to pick the first input with signal on it (so there's no configuring which input to use) | 21:11 |
| krokodilerian | to clone the input to one output port (i hoped to have both hdmi+vga, but doesn't seem possible) | 21:11 |
| krokodilerian | and to give to the banana pi h264+aac in mpeg-ts at whatever rate i tell it | 21:12 |
| krokodilerian | (as I'm going to push this over the network anyway, to a voctomix instance somewhere) | 21:12 |
| krokodilerian | I also thought about just using one such board without the bananapi, but this way i'll need to implement too much stuff in the hdmi2usb, and it's not a general purpose board | 21:13 |
| CarlFK | if hdmi2eth works, I think you can do away with the pi. I hear it is close. | 21:14 |
| krokodilerian | CarlFK: if I can add a status screen to it, and find a way for it to record to an ssd - definitely | 21:14 |
| CarlFK | ah, local storage. never mind ;) | 21:15 |
| krokodilerian | CarlFK: well, i can connect that over usb, too, doesn't matter too much | 21:15 |
| krokodilerian | but yes, local storage is a requirement, it was very obvious this year | 21:15 |
| krokodilerian | and will save ~30 videos from being lost :) | 21:16 |
| CarlFK | I've been meaning to look into local storage. | 21:17 |
| krokodilerian | in any case, this is not a project for 2018, more like for 2019 | 21:17 |
| krokodilerian | afaik, there is no interface yet to capture the sound from the hdmi, and that'll be needed | 21:18 |
| krokodilerian | (and at some point people will start asking for 1080p, but that's well into the future) | 21:18 |
| CarlFK | I hear sound is doable, just someone needs to do it. | 21:24 |
| krokodilerian | btw, what about both input AND output on VGA? | 21:30 |
| krokodilerian | most of the beamers at ULB (FOSDEM) are with vga inputs | 21:30 |
| CarlFK | I think we had that 2 years ago... the hardware kinda exists, but both the connector and firmware need to be ported | 21:31 |
| CarlFK | I have one of the boards that plugs into the Atlys prototype | 21:31 |
| krokodilerian | isn't that just input? or it's both? | 21:37 |
| CarlFK | both | 21:42 |
| CarlFK | hmm https://hdmi2usb.tv/tofe/ "VGA Input - Adaption of Rohit’s vmodvga designed with a TOFE interface rather than a VHDCI interface." | 21:45 |
| CarlFK | the board I have has 2 vga ports. I am pretty sure it was in and out | 21:46 |
| krokodilerian | CarlFK: I also remember something about a board with 2 vga ports from the 33c3 talk | 21:47 |
| krokodilerian | and "someone needs to write the software for it" | 21:47 |
| CarlFK | thing I am working on right now: how do I keep di from adding this line to /etc/hosts: | 21:50 |
| CarlFK | 127.0.1.1 dc10b.lca2017.lan dc10b | 21:51 |
| CarlFK | never mind. I need the IP of the interface | 21:52 |
