Excuse my dumbass, but I haven't seen this before. Are Creamware and these guys working together?

yes, for some time now although i don't know about that particular product. scope cards and effects are in the constellation series.

This looks very interesting. I wonder what the price will be?

just read the announcement pdf for the CC-1 Card. it was created on september 28 by nicole :smile:

so it's brand new... and looks really promising for future dsp plattforms...

CREAMWARE: GIVE US SUCH A NEW CARD SOON !!!

what I don't get is, cw still has resources to pull this thing off? Actually they also have the man power to be making asb stuff. I wonder what's being done for scope.

lots of things are happening...slowly.

well, if I'm not mistaken that thing is a DSP killer
they use the fixed programming of an FPGA chip to replace DSPs... any brands... :wink:

I don't see any references to creamware in this stuff. Am I missing something? I know creamware tech is used in the Dream constellations but not in this cc-1 product?

From what I'm reading, one could be tempted rephrase it to there was the money they earnt

How much power the CC-1 have over a full SCOPE system? And... how much will it cost? It seems a beast for what I have read in the PDF.

it trades flexibility and a wide range of applications (as with re-programmable DSPs) for sheer speed and reliability.
It CANNOT crash (if programmed correctly).

The chip costs barely nothing - it's programming possibly a small fortune.

cheers, Tom

From what I've read, mediocre programmers can't program fpga chips. Good programmers can :smile:

edit: well I suppose it's all about experience right?

Anyway, sod the fairlight cards :razz: (most Scope users have more to worry about, like being productive & making music with their investments :razz: )

it's a dedicated part of a bigger system anyway, no?

here's the <a href=http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/ ... ms.jsp>Dev Kit</a>, the <a href=http://www.altera.com/products/devices/ ... p>FPGAs</a>, the <a href=http://www.altera.com/products/software ... oftware</a>

(audio/video) kits in the the $5k range, software starting at a meager $2k annual subscription fee...

cheers, Tom
(it's just my guess that they use Altera)

yep! they use altera

"The CC-1 architecture is implemented on a new-generation FPGA chip manufactured by Altera Corporation (www.altera.com)."
