Free digital cameras software for linux

Digital Camera Protocol is another command-line utility for DC21x cameras, this one looks and works just like "ftp" command. Not written by me, but uses some of my low-level Kodak code from digicam.

GNUdap is a project to build a userspace driver to interface Linux with proprietary-protocol USB MP3 players and mass storage devices. Currently GNUdap supports the CHIC MP10, CHIC MP30, CHIC Symphony from "Perstel,Inc." and the NGS Jogger from the NGS Technology.
GNUdap is also an experiment to test the advantages of a strongly-typed programming language and of the functional programming paradigm in hardware developing. In fact GNUdap is developed using the Objective Caml programming language.
To access the devices, we use camlusb, an ocaml binding to libusb, wich is an library which works in userspace to access usb devices.
A shell, which supports the main features of the player, is provided. Besides being done for linux, unlike the original program provided with the MP10, this software is interesting because it has additional features (like being able to transfer mp3s directly to the pc, and to change the playable status of a file on the DAP), not present in the official one. A graphical frontend and a filesystem interface are planned.
To find more informations about the protocol, the driver and the shell visit the Documentation Page
Enhancements:
- chic.sh: Corrected the DIR variable
- added documentation

DigiCam is a command-line interface to Kodak DC21x Digital Cameras. I own a Kodak DC215Zoom and its pretty shitty.

Ive compared images my camera makes with others, and I guess there is just something subtly screwed with my camera.

Focus mechanics or something. Ill probably dump this crap and get a real camera one of these days.

What you can do with it:

* Display camera or specific picture information;
* Display number of pictures in the camera;
* Delete any picture from the camera;
* Delete all pictures from the camera in one step;
* Take picture, save to file, delete picture from the camera in one step;
* Retrieve any picture and save to file;
* Retrieve all pictures, and save to current directory as imageNNN.jpg;
* Set resolution to High or Low before taking a picture;
* Set picture quality before taking a picture;
* Set Flash mode before taking a picture;
* Set Zoom value before taking a picture;

Run "cam" without any parameters for a complete list of possible options. Some options can be combined to make cam usable inside scripts. Please use common sense, and dont combine options like -d and -R, or -t and -d

RJBs Digital Media Center is a music player.
RJBs Digital Music Center is designed to run on dedicated hardware. Because of this. It running as root. Very dangerous. Other than grabbing the X display and calling stop and halt scripts. It should be able to run as a non-root user. I will look into this on future releases.
Install steps:
(1) Install Nvidia Graphics Card.
(2) Plug X10 or IRMan control module into Com1.
(3) Connect Computer to Television
(4) Install RedHat 9.0
(5) During RedHat install select "Server Install"
(5) During package selection
(a) Select The Following Packages
X Window System
Sound and Video
Windows File Server
Development Tools
X Software Development
(b) De-Select The Following Packages
Printing Support
Text Based internet
Server Configuration Tools
Web Server
Administration Tools
(6) Identify or Create a directory for your Media files.
mkdir /usr/local/Media
Would be a good choice. The install script will ask and expect this path to exist. It will create a symbolic link to it. Also create symbolic link inside to for Cdrom to /mnt/cdrom
(7) As root UnZip/Tar the DMC release in /usr/local
cd /usr/local
tar zxvf dmc-releaseV2.0.tgz.tgz
(8) If your System is a HP DEC then you need to copy from the original HP disk the binary decvfdcmd.
cp /opt/odin/dec/bin/decvfdcmd /tmp
This binary controls the front LCD display.
The install script will ask for this path.
(9) As root run the DMC Install Script.
cd /usr/local/dmc/bin
./Install.sh
(10) Answer questions and follow instructions
(11) Good Luck!

Digital Disco System is a client/server-based audio player for disco purposes as well as at-home usage. It has an console frontend (usable in shell scripts) and an X-fontend in the style of XMMS.

Digital Room Correction project is a program used to generate correction filters for acoustic compensation of HiFi and audio systems in general, including listening room compensation.
DRC generates just the FIR correction filters, which can be used with a real time or offline convolver to provide real time or offline correction. DRC doesnt provide convolution features, and provides only some simplified, although really accurate, measuring tools.
For further informations see the documentation section, which includes the full manual of the current version of DRC and a complete set of measurements showing the effect of the DRC correction in a real life situation.
DRC is available for free and is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. See the documentation for details.
Enhancements:
- A new feature for replacing command line parameters has been introduced.
- The dip and peak limiting procedures have been improved in order to avoid numerical instabilities.
- A new wavelet-based analysis graph has been added to the sample results.
- Many performance improvements have been introduced.
- A new optional parameter used to define the base directory for all files has been added.

VISCA Camera Control Library is a library for controlling a VISCA(tm) compliant camera through the RS232 port of your PC. VISCA, on its side, is a protocol developed by Sony so that a lot of machine vision cameras from Sony are compliant with VISCA.

Typical cameras include the FCB-IX47 family of camera block for OEMs. Note that other devices, such as VCRs, can be controlled. Drop me a line f you know other functions that you would like to be implemented and for which you have the opcodes.

libVISCA has been tested only with an FCB-IX47P. This does not mean that its the only camera compatible, but some others might require addition/changes. In the current version, libVISCA has interface functions for every command/inquiry of the specifications. This includes zoom, focus, digital effects, white balance, and much more.

Every function composes an RS232 message, up to 12 bytes long. The message is then sent to a function that will actually send the 12 bytes after appending a header and footer. The function also waits for answers from the camera, such as ACK and completion messages. If its an inquiry, the reply is stored in the input buffer of the interface structure.

Myrinix - Digital Home Edition is meant to be a smart and centralized OS that can be implemented in a home environment.
Myrinix Digital Home Edition can be connected to a TV or other large screen to record and play DVD movies and surf the Internet. It also implements video sharing with the NX technology, and includes the videolan program for broadcasting video or music throughout the network.
Diskless client computers can connect with the server as it performs other tasks. Myrinix - Digital Home Edition is a bootable CD derived from Kanotix.
Enhancements:
- This release fixed a DBUS hang at startup on some computers and detection of USB drives as home at startup.
- An easy USB portable drive installer was added along with a locale changer for quick and easy language changes.
