BTW, as a slight clarification, most of what we're doing is happening in software on the camera controller (embedded PC or laptop or whatever). You will hardly ever need to upgrade the firmware on the camera head, so we have a very flexible platform that can go beyond the fairly simple upgrades you get with most firmware updates (which typically only add a feature or two, and usually nothing "major", like software updates can provide. For instance, look at how many features you get and improvements from Final Cut 3.0 to 5.0, or Premiere Pro 1.0 to 2.0, or After Effects 6.x to 7.x, or OSX 10.3 to 10.4, etc. You start to get the idea of how we can manipulate, improve, etc. software vs. hardware-based firmware updates).
The only limitation we have on software updates and features are the capabilities of the host processing module (embedded PC, laptop, etc.).
