Your idea is a nice one, but entirely impractical, I'm afraid.
Dear Peter,
you should not afraid. They already sell HD-DVDs and provide
digital TV. Try to explain them that is 'entirely impractical
idea', I think they will wonder :-)
My idea is to re-combine popular _exisiting_ technologies. Moreover,
a few years later monitors/TVs with connector for digital TV will
appear (all analog TVs contain TV recievers, why digital TVs not ?),
i.e. offered solution will unevitably implement by someone.
Sorry, these numbers are entirely bogus.
What numbers ?
The correct ones are:
2048x2048 is resolution of display supported by OGC.
24 bits per pixel of colour data
60 frames per second
= 6.04 Gb/s = 755 MB/s (or approx. 8 gigabit ethernet links)
You are absolutely right, but wrong place. I wrote about
bandwidth HD-DVD loader generates, your numbers describe
bandwidth on LCD matrix connector inside monitor.
Any DVD player contains convertor, that unpacks signal
from loader into signal for matrix.
Transporting of packed signal is easier and patent free solution.
You insist on transporting unpacked matrix signal in proprietary
format. Why ? We all agreed it is bad idea ('bad news ...').
Real troubles in my idea - fast packing and unpacking stream
(delay < 3..5 ms). Simplest methods allow it. For example
compare two sequent lines of pixel, average difference is
about few percents. Any two neighbour pixels in the line
give the same result (MPEG, AVI and others 'impractical'
formats use it).
Two sequent frames are very similar too, but it requires to
build into convertor (may be 'adapter' ?) 2048*2048*24 bit RAM ;-)
I can not say this is simplest method, but very effective too.
'Impractical' is wrong word. Traditionally all use Ethernet to
connect computers, but not units, so videocard with Ethernet
output looks unseemly like XIX century woman in pants.
'Think different'.
