CamX project - what's it all about?
Martin Endres tells about the CamX project:
CamX can be described as "object oriented, modular data manager with alarm / timing system".
- CamX is NOT a MIDI/Audio sequencer, even if it can be used as such.
- CamX is NOT a video editing system, even if it can be used as such.
- CamX is NOT a automatic radiator control, even if it can be used as such.
- CamX is completely modular and can be adapted to your individual needs.
- Data/Structure Objects
There are "Data Objects" (e.g. samples, videos or MIDI events) and "Structure Objects"
(e.g. songs or tracks). These "Objects" own individual input and output ports and can
be controlled by their individual addresses. "Data Objects" can be included in the
system in any way you want.
- Ports with Pipeline
These object ports have a pipeline, where any data processing modules (e.g. filter)
can be added.
- Object Database
CamX has a database language, which can be used e.g. for selecting all MIDI events.
- External System Control
All system functions can be controlled externally, and are available for other programms.
So CamX can also be controlled by network / internet. The processing
modules can be distributed in the network.
- Object Editors
Editors are added as modules. Depending on the object type, the correct editor is opened.
An unlimited number of editors can be open simultaneously.
- GUI
The GUI / interface is modular, and can be changed and adapted anytime.
- I/O System
As I/O system, the ARTAS system by ACT will be employed.
Some example uses:
MIDI/Audio Sequencer - Video Editing System - Laser/Slideshow -
Controlling household and office devices - controlling of HiFi/multimedia devices -
DVD/MP3 player
Everything (soft- and hardware) sending or recieving data in any
form will be controllable by CamX, if the driver module is available.

Amiga Future survey
We want to evaluate the users opinions of OS 3.5. So, on our homepage in the area "Aktion"
we created a page where we ask the following specific questions:
The AmigaOS 3.5 is available now for some time. We want to know from you what you think
about it! What do you like in AmigaOS 3.5, and what do you dislike? What is missing, and
what is getting you upset in it? Or did you expand your AmigaOS 3.5 with additional tools?
Which tools do you use no longer?
Write to us!
We will release the results on our homepage! Of course, tips and tricks for AmigaOS 3.5
are wellcome, too.

grafik-umsonst.de now with Amiga area
AMIGA. This device is cult. These pages are meant as a bow before the spirit of a creative
community. A sworn community, which after years of discontinued development holds high the
ideals of a computer that enabled multimedia even before that term was coined.
Due to this, an Amiga area
has been created (still under construction). Everyone owning an Amiga, or has created
pictures with one, can help. Many thanks to the Amiga-Magazin
for the friendy authorization.
Many other graphics of www.grafik-umsonst.de have also been created on Amiga: e.g. the
background series "am", "amnew" and "co" in the "Hintergrund" area, "big" and "at" in
"Hintergr2".

Emergency at IOM - harddisk crash
Bad news from IOM. Due to a hard drive crash all project files, all mails, addresses
and many more has been destroyed.
There is however a small chance to revive the hard drive. It is a
Quantum Fireball TM 3.2 GB SCSI HD, type 3200S P/N TM32S012 Rev 02-B
If someone has an idea, we would wellcome your input. If someone owns the same
disk and manages to unscrew the circuit board, we would be happy if we could
lend it for some time. The disk was connected to the CyberstormPPC SCSI controller,
formatted with SFS.
There will be a reward. Please call: +49 (0)9281 7676 990. We couldn't reconfigure
the e-mail access yet. Many thanks.

New AMIGA Website online
Since the new IP address has not yet been added to all Domain Name Servers, the "new" www.amiga.com
page can be visited at http://209.15.87.244. "New" in quotes because the layout should be well-known
from Schindler times.
Changing IPs the week after such an important event; the information given at the show still not
available from the website; switching back to a year-old layout, looking even less professional than
before... I hope Amiga is better at R&D than they are at PR... (mb)

Jon Peterson has brought us this exclusive pictured report from the Amiga 2000 Show in St. Louis:
1) AmigaActive magazine. Group from UK with outstanding publication. Comes with cover CD each month. This month features the full version of Scala 1.2. Very well done publication for the Amiga. Representing the company were Mark Hinton.
2) Amiga concept design for a tower config. This model shown at the banquet.
3) Another concept design for a desktop model. Just throwing out some ideas..
4) Some of the BoXeR cases being displayed at the show. BoXeR received some very good "promises" of support from AI at the show. Let's hope to see it out...........soon!
5) CompuQuick booth at the show. The largest booth with hundreds and hundreds of CDs as well as just about anything you are looking for in Amiga hardware. Give them a call.
6) Bill McEwen makes the opening speech at the Developer's Conference.
7) Fleecy Moss takes the microphone for the full commitment to a crowded developer's room.
8) Individual Computers from Aachen, Germany that produces the Buddha products represented by Jens Schönfeld and Sarah Wittermann with the SoftwareHut folks. Some outstanding hardware products made available for the Amiga. Take a look at their ethernet boards with IDE controller(s) onboard. Amazing!
9) Jürgen Haage and Markus Pöllmann preparing for demonstrations of wares from Haage & Partner. StormC, AmigaWriter, and ArtEffect v4.0.
10) Hyperion gaming wares.
11) Kermit Woodall of NovaDesigns gives an outstanding demonstration of the ImageFX v4 capabilities.
12) Holger Kruse of Nordic Global giving lessons and demonstrations of
Miami Deluxe. The first non-beta version will be available this week.
13) Holger Kruse and Jeff Kreis of Rebol demonstrating some scripts.
14) Mr. Hardware - another great booth exhibiting at the show. Most of the
software for Amiga was available.
15) Nova Designs owner Kermit Woodall and Corianna Cohn representing the company. Demos for both ImageFX and Aladdin were run during the show.
16) Petro Tyschtschenko awards a crystal plaque to A2K show organizer Bob Scharp at the opening ceremonies.
17) Opening day setup for the show. Crowds made it a traffic jam.
18) Petro Tyschtschenko and Jürgen Haage in discussions prior to opening ceremonies.
19) Paul Nolan of PhotoGenics with his lovely wife Ela demonstrating v4.5 of the program. PhotoGenics was very well received and Paul sold out for the show.
20) Markus Pöllmann of Haage & Partner giving a demonstration of StormC compiler during the show.
21) Bob Scharp and Bill McEwen make opening day presentation during the show.
22) Deron Kazmeier of Soft Logik showing off the latest version of the program for the big three OSs. Version 4.5 available shortly. Deron received the AAA award for outstanding Amiga software at the show.
One more thing I just remembered. I was talking to Paul Brestyanszky of AntiGravity at his booth in A2K show. They have purchased the Boxer board and technology effective now. He also received a very good promise of support from Bill McEwen during the show. He mentioned that he had made some good connections during the show to locate hardware for completion of the board which will enable them to (hopefully) get it completed quickly (this year?).

Amiga2K: BoXer News
Roger Wyatt reports: "Anti-Gravity Products, Santa Monica, California bought the BoXer Technologie from Access Innovations. Blittersoft will manage the worldwide retail.
Paul Lesurf of Blittersoft will become the boss of the office in England. Mick Tinker will work as manager of the BoXer developer section for Anti-Gravity. The BoXer will be manufactured by Anti-Gravity in California (in Los Angeles or Palmdale).
Paul B. of Anti-Gravity has presented the BoXer at the banquet of the
Amiga 2K Show. One could see that this computer is far beyond the
prototyp status. Actually the developing is in its final and test phase.
