Short: Video player (HHsYUVSq) for CyberGfx&AGA
Author: hhoff@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Helmut Hoffmann)
Uploader: hhoff@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Helmut Hoffmann)
Type: gfx/board
CyberTVPlayer Version 2.0 (c) by Helmut Hoffmann 1995
=============
+++ new: now usable for 2 to 256 color viewing with OS3.0 as well
(and not only OS3.1)
massively enhanced drawing speed for standard Amiga screen modes +++
This is a freely distributable video sequence player program
which can play HHsYUVSq sequences direct from harddisk
- in HighColor in Cybergraphic windows on
a Workbench with at least 15Bit color depths
- in reduced color (upto 256 colors) on any WB screen,
including AGA, ECS, OCS and usually WB-Emu graphic board screens
as well (e.g. EGS-Emu, Cyber-Emu, ...)
A short sample sequence should be included in this archive.
* CyberTVPlayer shows all sequences in the HHsYUVSq-Sequence format
direct from hard disk. The memory usage is very low this way
(although memory is needed to hold a frame in full size as loaded
and in converted form for CyberGfx). Random access harddisk
sequences and sequential sequences can be shown. For more speed you
could copy the sequence to RAM: first (if you have enough RAM).
* CyberTVPlayer uses its own very high quality (21Bit) color decoding
routines. It can also show sequences in greyscales.
* CyberTVPlayer accepts a file name as argument when started from CLI
or pops up a file requester when started from workbench or without
CLI parameter.
* CyberTVPlayer runs in a window on the Default public screen, which
can be a CyberGfx screen with at least 15Bit color depths for HighColor
playback or any screenmode with upto 256 colors for reduced
colors (this will be much slower)
* CyberTVPlayer shows the sequence in a loop, until the close button
of the window is pressed (if reduced colors are used, the first
playback pass can be much slower due to the color pen allocation;
subsequent loop passes are usual in higher speed; on HighColor
screens with 15Bit or more, the speed should be much higher)
* You can start CyberTVPlayer several times concurrently to watch
several sequences at the same time.
Sequences in a suitable format can e.g. be created with
*** EGS-TV Professional ***
the ultimate Animation, Video Editing, DeskTopVideo, Blue Screen Keying effect,
Framegrabber and handy scanner software for the EGS graphic system
with e.g. VLab, IV24, VideoCruncher framegrabbers or assembled from
single pictures. Currently this program is only available for EGS users.
EGS independent programs to create HHsYUVSq sequences could become
available in the future (anyone interested?).
For more information, take a look at EGS-TV. EGS-TV is shareware,
the professional version (including harddisk recording) can be
registered for only 33US$ outside europe (in europe: 40DM).
The demosequence has been created with EGS-TV Professional and a VLab
framegrabber using the Blue Screen Keying effect.
All CyberGfx fans (and all other Amiga users as well) should also take a look
at my universal viewer (incl. PhotoCD) program "CyberShow" with many useful
functions and incredible fast speed... It is shareware (introduction price
18US$ worldwide or 20DM in europe upto 31st July 1995).
Requirements
============
For usage with Cybergraphics on HiColor/TrueColor screens:
- cybergraphics.library V40 or higher
(Cybergraphics is a Workbench emulation/True color software extension
which is usable in conjunction with several graphic boards as the
Cybervision, Piccolo, SD64, Picasso, Retina-BLTZ3, Spectrum. It is
Copyright by Thomas Sontowski and Frank Mariak.)
- Default Public screen with at least 15Bit color depths
- OS2.04 or higher
- some memory (about 4MByte Fast-RAM should be enough for normal use)
For usage on WB screens with 2 to 256 colors:
- OS3.0 (OS3.1 is not needed anymore)
- some memory (about 4MByte Fast-RAM should be enough for normal use)
Version history
===============
1.0 (19th june 95): Initial release featuring direct harddisk playback
of color and greyscale sequences in sequential or random access format
2.0 (30th june 95): New reduced color output function which is available with
OS3.0 and not only with OS3.1. This makes CyberTVPlayer usable for all
OS3.0 users now (drawing speed is increased for standard Amiga screens
and some WB emulation screens as well).
