| Version 1.0.0 |
| |
| First release. This release is mostly feature complete as opposed to |
| being an early development release! It is known to be working well on |
| little endian platforms for DV and MPEG2-TS applications and is being |
| used in early development work on FreeBob for AMDTP. A dvgrab 2.0 is |
| flexing DV and being used in a 24/7 multi-host production environment. |
| The MPEG2-TS is being used by a few MythTV enthusiasts with digital |
| cable and ATSC settop boxes. |
| |
| The connection management procedures do a pretty good job of effortless, |
| multiple tranmission and reception sessions over a single bus. However, |
| it may not support all use case scenarios. Also, CMP seems to be the |
| area most poorly or inconsistently implemented by device makers. |
| Therefore, it is difficult at this time to support multiple sessions |
| in a generic fashion and expect it to Just Work. |
| |
| AMDTP is a little crude at the moment. First of all, it does not support |
| low latency applications and requirements. Secondly, there are not |
| functions to help encode and decode the various audio formats, but there |
| is simple label handling for AM824 and label and encoding of IEC 60958 |
| audio for transmission. |
