Minimig Discussion Forum

Yet (another) Amiga Compatible Hardware Threat

While still active in the last 25 years for AMIGA, Video and digital Television I will announce that I will start with an own minimig like hardware platform with the following features:

- FPGA hardware based on state of the art technics:
- Xilinx Spartan6
- DDR 3 Memory
- HD capable DVI-D/HDMI videoout(and audio) with upscaling

While I devoped a lot of Genlocks, I will provide genlock functionality:
- Build-In genlock, running in HD resolution
- Build-In videomixer with Timebasecorrector for providing tricks for up to 3 videosources

Since minimig have seen a bunch of iterations of "external intelligence" in form of PICs, ARM, Soft-68000 and Opencores-RISC at last, I will add the next variation:
- ARM Cortex with integrated MPEG Decoding support (MPEG2 & H.264), sATA, Highspeed SD-Card
- Eventually Usage of Linux or Android with Touch Screen Control

Last, not least, at least two DVB-Receivers should be added to get the new "amiga" to be used every day (by consuming television)...

I would be happy to find active Co -worker, aspecially for all arm (software stuff)...

Best regards
