Came upon this today:
Sending TV down the phone line
http://www.theage.com.au/daily/980519/infotech/infotech1.html
here is a run down of the highlights:
o The 22-year-old Knoxfield developer claims to have cracked a
conundrum that has stumped researchers for years - how to
deliver broadcast quality sound and video down a plain old
telephone line.
o perform the miraculous transfer a 1.3 gigbyte video file to a 1.4
megabyte floppy disk
o And indeed, in a system test for IT at his premises, Clark
demonstrated what appeared to be full 768 x 576 video and 44.1Khz
stereo audio streaming in real-time down a 2400bps modem line
from the server to the PowerPC client.
But he declined repeated offers to replicate the results on
quarantined equipment at The Age offices, citing "security concerns''.
o Clark claims compression ratios as high as 1000:1 at
near-broadcast quality
You can get the rest at the above URL .... personally I think he is full
of it ... will have to see it on a server that is not his own to beleive
it does do what he says it will do.
