Mark actually wrote the code, he might have it on Troika's site under the "roll
your own" section. I imagine right now he's swamped getting ready for IDAT. I'll
also try to find where we stored it here at UW.
As far as Big Eye goes, the full version was used last year in a couple of concerts
very effectively, through a generic AV mac (7100, I believe). I've sort of
inherited the project now, and will be tackling some of the hardware issues
tomorrow afternoon. I'll let you know how it goes.
