Hi all,
Earlier in the week in a call Loic mentioned that he had looked at a Mozilla/Boot2Gecko project that did HDMI capture and we could look at it for two reasons:
1) (the obvious) because we want to do HDMI capture ourselves, and
2) (slightly less obvious) to see how they specify tests that involve running code on a device and capturing data from an external source.
I don't know if this is what he had in mind, but google found for me "project eideticker":
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Eideticker
(the reason I'm not sure if this is what Loic had in mind is that it's more a Fennec/Firefox thing than a B2G thing).
I haven't dug into the test specification side yet, but I did think this page was interesting:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Eideticker/DeckLink_Primer
IIRC, we had considered Blackmagic cards before (supported on Linux, relatively cheap). The limitations on this page look a bit less than ideal though...
Anyway, interesting reading for you all.
Cheers, mwh
