The ANDI-FG is made by Ajeco Oy in Finland. It is in the PC-104 format standard for embedded computers (for more info see PC104 under http://wearables.www.media.mit.edu/projects/wearables/) which can be easily converted to a normal PC with ISA bus. Quick stats: Size: 3.6"X2.8"x0.6" (91mm x 96mm x 16mm) Environmental: 0-70 degrees C , 95% relative humidity, non-condensing Power: +5VDC +- 10%, 2.5W operating, 0.9W standby Inputs: 3 video inputs, separate luminance and chrominance Input Impedance: 75 ohm Sampling Speed: real time conversion 24.5 MHz(60Hz) and 29.5 MHz (50Hz) Converters: 8 bit A/D converters for lumincance and chrominance Resolution: 640x525 pixels in NTSC and 768x625 pixels in PA/SECAM Signal Source Type: CVBS (composite video), Y/C, S-VHS etc. Color Decoding: NTSC PAL and SECAM Uploading Modes: 24 bit RGB, 8 bit gray scale, 4:2:2 YUV Processor: Motorola DSP56001, 27Mhz, user programmable, 8K words PRAM Video Memory: 1MB total DMA & IRQ Support: Yes Software: Complete library in C and Assembly, source code included A caveat here. This is only using the 8 bit part of the PC104 spec. Don't expect to do put this on a computer with a RAID array and download images to disk. Instead, this thing is supposed to digitize in real time and then the 56001 works on the image and spits the result back to the main CPU. We are just getting up to speed with this so we can not say how well it works, but the people at Ajeco Oy seem very open and ready to help. Putting together a wearable computer with this system now. More as we learn about what it can do.
