[Fiware-opencall-help] clarification on hardware support epics

[Stefano Salsano]

Dear fiware-opencall-support team,

we are preparing a proposal addressed to the Stream oriented topic

we would like to ask a clarification to the "Hardware support" epic

Hardware Support to utilize hardware components for real time requirements

do we understand correctly that we are not supposed to work on hardware 
components, but rather to offer an API or an abstraction layer capable 
to interface different hardware based equipment, both for capturing 
videos and for processing (encoding/decoding/...)

if so, should we list in the proposal a set of specific hardware devices 
that we plan to integrate in our framework ? or can just list the types 
of hardware devices (i.e. grouping them by functionality: encoder using 
codec x or y / decoder for codec x or y ... capture device for PC with 
OS x and so on...)

thank you for your help
Stefano Salsano
