We received the oscilloscope last week (later than promised) and made some important measurements to decide the final component characteristics.

This weekend we finally completed the bill-of-materials for the SuperVidel and SVethLANa, and sent it to the manufacturer so they can give us a quote for the components. We still need to fix the last things on the SuperVidel layout before we can get the complete quote though.

We hoped to have the final price of the SuperVidel ready before Outline 2011, but that will probably not happen.

But we're still working all evenings and weekends to get it ready... :P

It seems "doing the last" preparations to make the SV ready for production takes a lot more time than expected. During the work with the bill of materials there were several parts that needed extra inspection and decisions. We're almost done now, but there are a few things left to fix that requires the new oscilloscope that we have ordered. We heard that we'll receive the oscilloscope at the beginning of next week. Until then we'll really enjoy doing the yearly financial accounting of Henrik's company... not

Just a short notice to tell you that we're still busy making the SuperVidel ready for production. At least the Svethlana is ready now. There are a few things on the SV left to modify, both in the layout and in the bill of materials. The re-registration period will run until we have a price from the manufacturer.

We have got a quote for the biggest components on the supervidel. It looks promising to get a low total price. But we still need a quote for the manufacturing itself and the smaller components before we can decide the final price for all who order from us. Because we haven't yet been able to decide the final price we will prolong the registration period to at least April 1st.

Just uploaded the 5th SuperVidel demo video on youtube: here
where we show dual screen desktop and full screen Aniplayer playback.

We just had an Atari-weekend with Pep were we managed to create a dual screen desktop and also test that feeding the 25.175MHz Videl clock from the motherboard to the SV is fully usable on the SuperVidel. Someday soon we will do a 5th demo video of the dual screen desktop.

Pep also played around with Mikro's Quake port to make it write to the SV graphics RAM. This made the framerate double (estimate), when the chunky to planar conversion (C2P) was still performed. He then wanted to remove the C2P too, to get the best possible speed, but didn't have enough time. But maybe we'll soon see a Quake port running fluidly. :)
