Piksel Technologies

==================================================================

PikselTech is a framework of tools and libraries which aims to provide interoperability between various free software applications dealing with video manipulation techniques.

The current focuses of the project are: implement a library for plugin dynamicly loaded video processors and colorspace transformations; development of a standard set of control commands for interoperability between media applications, providing a library implementation which makes it easy to be embedded into other software.

The first bits of code released is:

Livido - a free video plugin api for realtime and NLE applications. Livido documentation and download.

Frei0r - a minimalistic plugin API for realtime video effects. Frei0r specification.

VideoJack - video extensions to the Jack audio server.

The other parts are discussed under the interoperability and video piping issues om the piksel wiki, as well as on the piksel-dev mailing list.

This project has its origins at the Piksel meeting held at BEK - the Bergen Center for Electronic Arts, in which authors from various free software applications met to settle common specifications: EffecTV, FreeJ, LiVES, MøB, PD/PDP, PiDiP, VeeJay, GePhex.
