We do already store the data in computer readable format as well (in an SQL database), but the specification calls for the camera name and timestamp to be recorded in human readable form on the images themselves before they're securely archived, in case they ever need to be used in a court case (as they're recording from security cameras). > 3. When playing back, the JPEG frames can be sent directly to DC10+ or similar They're streamed over a network to an archiving server (which is accessed via a web browser), and a number of guard's terminals which display realtime capture from many cameras at once in thumbnail or large format via a custom GNOME application. This is already up and running and working fine, so we don't want to change it just because we're using different video capture machines in the back end. -- --------------- Linux- the choice of a GNU generation. -------------- : Alex Holden (M1CJD)- Caver, Programmer, Land Rover nut, Radio Ham : -------------------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ --------------------
