Jaromil, this is great stuff. And living in the NL I was aware of the R & D lab at NiMK. I had no idea it was not in reports. Would it be an idea to have this listed somewhere on the bricolabs website under something like 'resources'? Just a suggestion.
ciao, Sonja

>
> A series of workshops for an adult audience has taken place with a

> by Andrea Guzzo and Igor Sutton, [Veejay-NG] by Niels Elburg, [Bitcoin] by
> co-developer Amir Taaki and [Milkymist] by Sébastien Bourdeauducq.
>
> Another workshop was realized for high-school students of the

> 2.1 Sync Starter
> =================
>
> Our [free and open source syncstarter software] for SD video (IvySync)

>
> The development of sync-starter open source technologies has therefore

> a software the community developed WDLXTV homebrew firmware. The
> result is a new software in its alpha stage of development called
> [HDSync] which has rapidly gained popularity, confirming the

> =====================
>
> Several seminars were held on free software and hardware manipulation

> During the year 2005 development of the digital video syncstarter has
> been completed: it gave birth to a new open source software named
> [IvySync], which was released publicly with a demonstration at the
> [Piksel] conference in Bergen (NO), attracting attention from both
> artistic and scientific communities.
>
> Our video sync-starter software has been employed in various video
> installation works by Erwin Olaf (*Montevideo, Museum nacht*) and Peter
> Bogers (*Rotterdam, Schouwburg plein*) among the others, as well shipped
> for distribution of multi-channel video installations in Portugal,
> Hungary and Austria.
