Hi,

I'd like to add an SDI or OSD IP topic in the IP Forum section.

How do I go about doing that or whom do I ask?

If you are proposing a new forum category, then this is the forum to post such requests.

Simon,

Either email me, or post here a short description of what you would like to see, and then if you post here, we can see how much support it gathers:  it is up to the community to respond if they like it.

What I usually do is then look at all webcases, and see if we have some volume on the topics in webcases.

Right now, we are working on a top YYY "frequently asked questions" to have the answers.  It goes a bit beyond FAQ, only in the sense that it attempts to attack the really big questions, like the all time number one: why does DONE not go high?"

Perhaps these are GAQ:  globally asked questions?

Anyway, just let us know what you would like to see on a new forum, and we can go and see how useful that will be to everyone.

Hi,

Well I am developing an SDI application using the RTVE (Real Time Video Engine) and it involves quite a lot of IP all together and I had run into a question about it, but could not find a forum topic that covered it or find anything on a search.  It covers OSD and Alpha Blending and also de-interlacing etc etc.  I guess there are not a lot of Web Cases..  I know I have one !

s,

Why not post in the DSP forum?

[simonwakley]

Is it a DSP related subject?  I was not aware that there were any DSP functionaility.  I am not too clear on the difference between a DSP and a microprocessor (Though I have programmed both :-)

I wanted to make a line on the video overlay display and the Logicore OSD IP does not seem to have code to draw a single line.  Boxes and text yes, but lines?  No.

Video in its digital form is a signal, and it gets processed.

So, it is covered in the DSP forum.
