FYI: I emailed them and got this reply (I hope they don't mind):

"vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse an unserem Produkt. Zu unserem Bedauern müssen
wir Ihnen mitteilen , daß die DVBeam300-Family vor ca. 2-3 Jahren bereits
aus dem Markt genommen wurden ist (Ausverkauft). In sofern werden wir dafür
keine Linux-Treiber mehr anbieten.

Sie haben völlig recht eine Linux-Treiberentwicklung verlangt fundierte
Kenntnisse, deshalb geben wir das SDK auch nicht an Privatpersonen heraus,
aber es wäre für Universitäten / Fachhochschulen erhältlich."

[BTW: I'm working at a university and I used my University e-mail for
my questions about DVBeam 300.]

In short: their products aren't available anymore.
