I've been unsuccessful in my search for info on linux hardware support for
studio-grade, uncompressed capture/playback. Is there anything along the
lines of Matrox Digisuite supported under V4L or V4L2? How about SDI? Have
any manufacturers provided sufficient information to support these products?
How about manufacturers that have refused to provide this info?
Another concern I have is the API. Are the V4L-related APIs sufficient to
build a professional-grade NLE? I don't really care about realtime DVEs, or
anything like that - I mainly care about audio synch, timecode/genlock, and
realtime capture/playback of uncompressed. Deck control is another huge
issue, but also not a primary concern of mine.
Is there any chance of this happening, or is this too much at odds with the
other problems V4L is trying to address? Are there other projects aimed at
getting linux into the post/broadcast environments?
Note: I would be willing to contribute code & documentation to driver or API
projects in line with the above goals. I have no (current) commercial
interests in this, BTW.
Thanks,
Matt
