Try it out on any video-input-equipped workstation such as Indy. Make sure "Indycam" is selected as vino's "default in" on the Video Control Panel (vcp), and then run ttyvideo.
This new state-of-the-art technology comes to you from PODCO.
Many thanks to Kevin P. Smith for way cool Image->ASCII conversion code!!!
Why, just look at the complete suite of digital media tools already available...
... and who said those dumb terminals are no use anymore!
Things To Try: ./ttyvideo -R Reverse the ASCII Video (good for black on white) ./ttyvideo -G Puts up graphical window at VL image size (try -z 1/2) ./ttyvideo -h Prints help with other options (such as text window size) Snoop Other People's Machines: rsh guest@OTHERMACHINE /hosts/smeg.esd/usr/tmp/fun/ttyvideo Spew Your Image on Other People's Machines xwsh -display OTHERMACHINE:0.0 -e './ttyvideo' Spew Your Image on Other People's Machines, with Text Monitor % cat > myscript #!/bin/csh ./ttyvideo | tee /dev/ttyq3 % replace q3 with some tty on your machine ^D chmod 755 myscript xwsh -display OTHERMACHINE:0.0 -e './myscript' Spew Your Image on Other People's Machines, with Graphical Monitor % cat > myscript #!/bin/csh setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0 ./ttyvideo -G -z 1/2 ^D chmod 755 myscript xwsh -display OTHERMACHINE:0.0 -e './myscript' Works really well on cartoons---use vcp to set video source to analog in, and plug in a VCR or other video source.
