04:37 <mithro> People here might be interested in our new FPGA based open video hardware at https://www.crowdsupply.com/numato-lab/opsis ?

22:05 <DocScrutinizer05> mithro: I see :-D >>The Numato Opsis hardware has a large amount in common with the Milkymist developed hardware, being built around the same FPGA core and designed for high-speed video manipulation.<<

22:23 <mithro> DocScrutinizer05: yes, we even use misoc/migen for our hdmi2usb firmware these days

22:54 <DocScrutinizer05> mithro: I'm not familiar with milkyway either (except for some cursory circuit review). I wonder if that opsis can receive and decode copy-protected stuff

22:54 <mithro> DocScrutinizer05: milkymist

22:54 <DocScrutinizer05> oops yep

22:55 <mithro> DocScrutinizer05: well, if someone ported the netv stuff it might be usable for that, but not a use case which we are supporting

22:55 <DocScrutinizer05> I see

22:56 <DocScrutinizer05> anyway it can decode the HDMI data it hands through from input to output? as well as encoding such data again?

22:59 <DocScrutinizer05> I recently noticed a very annoying thing in a PC I have here: when the HDMI screen attached during boot gets unplugged, it needs another reboot to make it work again after re-plugging it. I gather HDMI negotiates some connection from PC to the display during boot, and that breaks and never gets re-established when you unplug the display

22:59 <DocScrutinizer05> this makes HDMI basically completely useless for PC monitors

23:01 <DocScrutinizer05> in opsis feature tables I see "hotplug". Related?

23:02 <mithro> DocScrutinizer05: yes

23:19 <DocScrutinizer05> wb

23:24 <mithro> DocScrutinizer05: this is how our current HDMI2USB firmware works -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware/master/doc/architecture.png

23:28 <DocScrutinizer05> wow

23:30 <DocScrutinizer05> RTP streamer :-))

23:51 <mithro> DocScrutinizer05: that is "in progress" at the moment
