Hi all.
1) They wrote HDMI has 5 Gbit/s bandwith.
HD-DVD volume is about 500 Gbit (=500,000 Mbit), play time is 10000 s,
hence raw
bandwidth is 50 Mbit/s i.e. 50% of Fast-Ethernet, 10% of USB-2, 1% of HDMI.
And this is enough for 1080p HD video !
2) No doubt digital TV will become ubiquitous, TV boxes will display stream
video. TV and monitors will get Ethernet jack for it.
Meet future now.
You should implement in OGP card common Ethernet and nothing more. All
other
signal generated with external convertor. Vendors often supply cards
(modems,
video, TV-recivers and like) with cables, you can too.
The convertor gets video stream from OGP-E card via Ethernet cable,
converts
it to DVI or HDMI or SVGA or PAL/SECAM/NTSC or USB or S-video, even
wireless.
Simplest convertor is embedded into cable connector. I think all OGP-E
cards
being shipped with Ethernet-DVI cable-convertor or bilateral gadget
(remember
EGA-VGA convertors). More complex and flexible convertors look (and work)
like
hub/switch, have several different interfaces, customer can order it
optionally IN ADDITION TO THE SAME OGP-E card.
Then
1) OGP video card implements open and fee-free technologies only.
2) There are single jack in the video card you develop.
3) User can connect several monitors/TVs and commutate them as he wants.
4) If TV or monitor had Ethernet jack for stream video, user connects it
immediately to OGP-E card.
5) HDMI and other video cables is 5 meters max, while Ethernet cable can
be up to 100 meters. This unique feature will attract customers who never
had open hardware in mind and need long cable only.
6) This provides highest and life time compatibility with any future
display
devices.
7) If external convertor worked as Ethernet switch, single OGP-E card can
generate different signals for two and more monitors (like double headed
systems do).
8) Upgrade is cheap and easy: add or change cable(s).
