Termin:Chaotic-Congress-Cinema Nr. 3

Needs to be there, but does not need to be seen by a visitor No Wir schauen Aufzeichnungen von Congress Vortraegen.

Du bist herzlich eingeladen in den Clubraeumen im Mexikoring 23 aufzutauchen und mit uns die Talks vom CCCongress zu schauen. Es wird Bier, Softdrinks und Knabberkram (think: Chips) zu moderaten Preisen geben. Falls du kein Mitglied sein solltest, macht das ueberhaupt nichts: Alle Gaeste sind gern gesehen :-) Wir freuen uns auf Dich :)

Milkymist

An FPGA-based open-hardware video synthesis platform.

The project develops a stand-alone device in a small form factor that is capable of rendering MilkDrop-esque visuals effects in real time, with a high level of interaction with many sensors and using live audio and video streams as a base. The flexibility of the FPGA used as a central component enables advanced users to modify the design, and also permits compact integration of many interfaces (Ethernet, OSC, MIDI, DMX512, video inputs), making Milkymist™ a platform of choice for the mobile VJ. But Milkymist™ is more than a visual synthesizer - it is also one of the leading open source system-on-chip designs. It is today the fastest open source system-on-chip capable of running Linux, and it comes with an extensive set of features and graphics accelerators. The IP cores that make up the system-on-chip are entirely written in open source synthesizable Verilog HDL and come with test benches and documentation, which makes Milkymist™ a great library of re-usable logic cores to serve as a base for other open source hardware.

Reverse-Engineering DisplayLink devices

USB to DVI for Hackers

DisplayLink produces nice, useful USB graphics adapters. Unfortunately, they had no real Linux support. In this talk, we'll describe how we first reverse-engineered the encryption and basic protocol, prompting DisplayLink to actually release a Linux driver on their own. However, their driver still doesn't support compression. In the second part, we'll therefore describe how we reverse-engineered the compression algorithm.
