Hi all,
I recently found an elta media dc8212 camera (usb-id: 0x093a:0x010e)
in a pile
of old hardware. When looking for linux-support (out of curiosity, I
don't need
the cam), I saw that there is activity regarding these types of camera
(mr97310) right now. As I am currently busy in other departments of
the kernel,
I was wondering if somebody here is interested in getting the camera
to do
further research? If so, just drop me a mail and I will send it
free-of-charge.
Regards,
Wolfram
PS: The camera still works. Just checked with another OS on a friend's
machine.

Hi,
If you want to do such a thing, I think it is very kind of you. As for
myself, I suspect that I already have three or four similar cameras, and
so I probably do not really need another one. Also, judging from your
e-mail address you are in Germany and I am in the US, making it a less
desirable prospect to ship such an object for such a distance.
Therefore, I would offer the suggestion that the camera should go to
Kyle Guin, who wrote the kernel support, or, if he is also in the US (I
do not know where he lives) then perhaps to Thomas Kaiser, who lives a
bit closer to you. I think that all three of us are equally interested
but as I said I do not believe that I need another one of these cameras.
In case that I have missed someone else who might be interested, that is
inadvertent on my part.
Hello Wolfram, Theodore and Kyle
While Theodore is mentioning my name and I live close to Germany, I show
my interest for the cam. Anyway, if it is better to send to someone
else, that's no problem for me.
Theodore and I exchanged some mails about the compression algorithm of
this cam already and it would be nice for me to do something with the
real hardware.
Anyway I showed my interest in the compression of the stream because the
vendor ID is the same like the Pixart cams (PAC207, PAC7311) for which I
wrote the initial drivers and found the decompression algorithm with the
help of others.
Maybe the idea from Theodore to send the cam to me is not such a bad
idea ;-)
Should we discuss here for some days to find out who can make the most
progress with this cam?
Wolfram, thanks for the offer to donate the cam!
Thomas
