Introduction: Using the Linux system makes it easy to develop a reliable, maintainable and royalty-free embedded system with multimedia or video support.
Developers can not only choose between several state-of-the-art Free Software user applications. They can also reuse several toolsets to implement feature-rich systems.
As usual with Free Software, they can share their efforts and experience with other users and developers. This can dramatically reduce development and support costs.

Language: English or French
Audience: Developers and integrators of multimedia or video enabled embedded Linux systems.
Course objectives: Introduce the audience to available multimedia and video applications, toolsets and formats, as well as to Linux kernel APIs. Give them a first experience performing elaborate tasks with available toolsets. Give them useful resources.
Benefits: Time saved looking for the best available tools and resources. Getting started on the job much faster thanks to a valuable first experience.
Prerequisites: Knowledge and practise of Unix or GNU / Linux commands.
Knowledge and practise of audio in embedded Linux systems.
