Palantir is a Linux-based streaming system designed to transmit live video, audio and data over a TCP/IP network, as well as to control remote devices. It is named after a word invented by J. R. R. Tolkien and mentioned in his tales, whose meaning is far-seer. The correct pronounciation requires the "i" in "tir" to be accented. While conceptually similar to the many webcam-like products populating the modern Internet, some unique features set a considerable distance between Palantir and its competitors. * The video streaming section was designed with performance in mind. Even a low-end machine can directly sustain the load of many hundreds of clients, without the need for an intermediate buffering server. * The vast choice of clients able to display the live video stream ranges from regular web browsers to a specialized client for Windows which requires no installation - just download and go. A Qt-based client for Linux is also available. * The availability of a full-duplex, telephone-quality audio channel permits communication between server and one client at a time - your remotely controlled site is just a microphone and a speaker away. * A supplementary, bidirectional data channel enables clients to operate hardware devices of any kind connected to the server via a serial line, as well as to get feedback from them and present it to the user in graphical form. Examples of these devices include pan/tilt/zoom machinery, flood lights, temperature sensors, strain gauges, etc.. Palantir can stream over a LAN, a VPN, or the Internet at large. Fields of application span from surveillance to entertainment, industrial process control and site monitoring. kindly add this program to portage. thanks Saurabh
Finally done. They're in the gentoo-sunrise overlay, available here: http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/media-video/palantir http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/media-video/palantir-client http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/media-video/palantir-webclient Have fun!
Client has been removed Qt3 app Closing as wont be fixed since we dont add qt3 apps any more If you still want to use this please consider moving it to kde-sunset overlay http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde-sunset.git;a=summary
