I seem to recall that FW/1394 has some sort of iso-chrono-something mode for things with real-time requirements like audio and video. Too bad the max cable length is so short. 5 meters or so IIRC. Ethernet is the obvious choice if you want to be able to scatter boxes around the house/office/studio/... Assuming you don't want to deal with a repeater every 5m.

Even I can fabricate rack ears for a 5.25" box. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
