[RE] Video question
Video distribution has been used here as an example of a high-bandwidth
residential application. I can't remember if anyone got specific about what
delivery format would be used. A raw 24-bit RGB format such as provided by
DVI or HDMI would be a contender. I've just looked up some uncompressed
video data rates:
NTSC: ~200Mbit
720i HDTV: 0.8Gbit
720p HDTV: 1.4Gbit <- US HDTV broadcast (de facto) standard
1080i HDTV: 1.9Gbit
Seems a forward-looking medium for transmission of uncompressed video
streams must provide more than one gigabit of bandwidth. Am I missing
something? What compressed video format(s) would be applicable to
residential video distribution?
