[Debconf-video] Buy some Numato Opsis boards?
https://www.crowdsupply.com/numato-lab/opsis
Carl and Tim have been showing of the prototypes of this board to us,
for the last couple of DebConfs.
They look like a good replacement for twinpacts, and that is basically
what they've been designed for.
Downsides are that they are currently HDMI-only (there are plans for a
VGA daughter-board, but it isn't available yet).
The capture over Ethernet feature also isn't there yet. Right now, they
present as a UVC video device.
So, we should make a decision on whether we want to buy some. I was
thinking we should get 3 (that's the number of rooms we've been covering
for the last 2 years), as twinpact replacements.
This doesn't help us replace firewire, for cameras. We'd probably want
to use smaller HDMI->USB capture cards or SDI capture cards, for that.
We spoke about having a video team sprint in early November (traditional
Cambridge mini-DebConf season). But this funding closes before then, so
we need to make a decision by e-mail.
