a sample WDM stream class video capture driver that supports two IEEE 1394 digital cameras.
The same driver may be able to support other digital cameras that conform to 1394-based Digital Camera Specification from 1394 Trade Association.
Digital camera supported by dcam.sys is a data source that produces digital image data without any other input connection. It manifests itself in a DirectShow graph as a WDM Streaming Capture Device and as a capture filter that has output capture stream supporting image sizes of 320x240 with a UYVY color space. Its de-compressor, Msyuv.dll, is part of the OS delivery, and it can convert image data format from UYVY to RGB16, RGB8, or to a Direct Draw surface if the video card supports UYVY format.
ardware sensors monitor 4.4.2.2 (June 2008)
(Shareware, trial period is two weeks)
The most universal hardware monitoring program
for Windows 9X/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/VISTA x86/x64 editions
This program monitors and displays certain parameters (temperatures,
voltages, fans RPM) taken from h/w sensor chips, installed on smart
motherboards and/or graphics cards. Customizable alarms can be displayed.
Professional license includes thermo control features
(so-called "Software cooling"), nVidia/ATi graphics cards and
HDD S.M.A.R.T. monitoring.
Here are two newest published articles talking about joint source channel coding, in which source coding is invovled scalable video coding. They are very useful for people who are doing research about it.
The Inter IC bus or I2C bus is a simple bidirectional two wire bus designed primarily for general control
and data transfer communication between ICs.
Some of the features of the I2C bus are:
• Two signal lines, a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL), and ground are required. A
12V supply line (500mA max.) for powering the peripherals often may be present.
• Each device connected to the bus is software addressable by a unique address and simple
master/ slave relationships exist at all times masters can operate as master-transmitters or as
master-receivers.
• The I2C bus is a true multi-master bus including collision detection and arbitration to prevent data
corruption if two or more masters simultaneously initiate data transfer systems.
• Serial, 8-bit oriented, bidirectional data transfers can be made at up to 100 KBit/s in the standard
mode or up to 400 KBit/s in the fast mode.
