[libdv-dev] multi camera live acquisition

[Gauthier D. <gau...@ja...>]

Dear all,

I use to develop acquisition software with libdc or proprietary libs .

I would develop a small gpl software to a friend, the goal is to connect 
n camcorders to firewire boards and be able to output the signal from 
one camcorder to output and hard drive.

This is to mix live record during performance.

My first idea is to use libdv for in/out and Qt for user interface ; the 
basic code would do a live redirection from each camera to /dev/video/n 
; the soft display each source in a small window and the user is able to 
select/switch one source to the output.

This looks quite simple for me and I would have your opinion about this 
project

Further developpement would add transition effects and record every 
source to hard disk.


Thanks

Gauthier
