Package: FreeJ
System name: freej
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

FreeJ aims to be a digital instrument for video livesets, featuring realtime 
rendering of multilayered video and chained effect filtering directly on the 
screen. FreeJ threats every video source as a layer, making then possible to 
dynamically apply on each a chain of filters, loadable as effect plugins and 
easily customizable.

Layers are planned for rendering of analog video input, digital movie files, 
image bitmaps, sound scopes, texts and eventually more. FreeJ is being 
developed in the hope to provide the GNU community with a free, modular and 
highly customizable application to perform video livesets, based on a GPLed 
framework that lets anybody implement his own filters concentrating simply on 
the dsp algorithm developed and furthermore to combine them over any supported 
layer.

Internals
FreeJ, as a free modularized GNU/Linux framework, permits unified quality 
control over the rendering of digital video processing and makes it much easier 
to write effect algorithms keeping them compatible with as much devices as 
possible and making them relying on optimized code. FreeJ is being developed in 
c++ respecting POSIX compliance. For rendering to screen is being linked shared 
the Simple Directmedia Layer library. As a realtime architecture FreeJ aims to 
make efficient use of multithreading and mmx cpu specific intructions 
optimizing the usage of hardware resources. There\'s only one layer implemented 
yet wich makes use of the video4linux abstracted device for capturing live 
video input from the many linux supported hardware devices (which includes 
bttv, usb cams and more). Alltough possible, is not planned any porting to 
platforms other than GNU/Linux at least in the earliest development phases.
