Overview

TimVideos.us is a group of exciting projects which together create a system for doing both recording and live event streaming for conferences, meetings, user groups and other presentations. Check out our Getting Started! page for more information!

Whether you want to work hands-on with hardware or code in a variety of languages, we have a project for you. Join the team! This information should help you explore the projects and learn how to get started.

To help you decide which of the TimVideos.us projects you wish to contribute to, we have created the following flow diagram:

• Tasks in the Streaming System Website project

Streaming-system is a comprehensive video conferencing package that allows users to set up and deploy a live streaming system. It includes a website, setup scripts and watchdog code.

The streaming system including a django-based website, shell script setup scripts and Python watchdog code.

HDMI2USB is a core hardware project in the Tim Videos suite. There are two types of projects to work on with the HDMI2USB system;

• Firmware Projects - As the device uses a Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA, developing much of the hardware is actually a process of developing software!
  More information on current HDMI2USB firmware.

• Extension Boards - The Digilent ATLYS can be extended via the VHDCI connector.
  More information on existing HDMI2USB extension boards

!!! All hardware projects will require you to have a Digilent ATLYS prototype board !!!

If you can show that you are committed to developing hardware (such as being accepted into a program like Google Summer of Code), you can apply for a grant to have a board provided to you for development.
