    dspbinwd.doc        Application note on bin width calculation with
                        a DSP.  A companion to code posted in 
                        software/dspbinwd last month.

    software/fx         A special effects program to edit .601 files and
                        reduce noise, sharpen edges and other neat stuff

                        Coming REAL SOON NOW.  Updates on just about 
                        everything

    software/dspbinwd   Source code for an ADSP2104 based bin width calc
                        ulator.  If your hardware design includes a DSP 
                        you want this code.  If you are doing your
                        bin width calculations in a host PC, you don't care 
                        about this directory.

    software/2board     Code to make a pair of video lab boards run in the
                        same motherboard.  Drivers have special modifications
                        and are INCOMPATABLE with the standard Videolab
                        board.

    binwidth.zip        A short paper on computing binwidths for the
                        adv601.  The file is a zipped post script file.
                        Unzip it and print it on any laser printer.

    bsmod.exe           Bitstream modifier.  Can edit .601 files in various
                        ways to increase compression or filter out noise. 
                        Look in the software/bsmod directory
    
    601cman.dll         Has a better binwidth calculator than previous
                        versions.  If you download this , you should also
                        download the latest 601rpman.vxd.

    ontheair.doc        Some notes on board design
    errata.doc          the errata sheet for rev 0.4 silicon
    icm.zip             Software demo has better bin width calculator
    adv601.dll          better bin width calculator

 
   

    Ready to run executable stuff and documentation is kept in directory
(or folder) adv601.  
    Icm.zip is a software wavelet compression demonstration program.
Download it, and un zip it on a Win95 machine.  Then execute the
setup.exe program to install it.  From Win95 execute icmapp.exe.
From "files" open a .bmp image file.  Then from "edit" compress it.
Pick "Analog Devices Wavelet Compression.  You can adjust the
compression ratio in the "configure" box.  The "window" menu "tile"
selection will put both images side by side for comparision.


    Sub directory hardware contains schematics and pals and other board
design stuff.  

    Sub directory software contains Windows 95 source code.  

    Sub directory 601rpman (601 Record Playback MANager) is a windows
95 low level driver (a .vxd) It is the interrupt service routine.

    Sub directory 601cman (601 Compression MANager) has the bin width
calculator, and the application program interface to 601rpman.

    Sub directory 601test (601 Test Program) is a hardware diagnostic
program.  It supports inspect and change of ADV601 on chip registers,
tests the fifo and calls 601cman and 601rpman.
