Networking related inquiry

For some reason, I thought the thread said injury, not inquiry. I had to read about the networking related injury.

Sorry. Carry on.

lol, someone tripping over a misplaced cat-5 cable???

Cables? That is SO 90's, it is all wireless now... ;-)

you let me know when your wireless can stream a blue ray over the network in real time.

I have 4 wireless adapters attached to HDTV's that can stream multiple HD signals simultaneously. Uses a 5GHz dual channel N configuration which has theoretical bandwidth of 300Mbps and probably 150 in real world application. You only need about 15Mbps to stream HD which even g can do with a good signal. Oh, and jorge, no self respecting network guy would be caught dead with Cat 5 cable. You need Cat 6 to run Gigabit routers. I now return this thread back to you 'wine' geeks.

I think your calcs a little off =)

blu-ray transfer requires a sustained 54 megabits per second + a potential overhead of 36 Megabits per second for embedded underlying data and network talk.

that's actual usage and not theoretical.

Most HD streaming software will do bit compression to get it down to the respectable 15mbps yer referring to, but if you're running any sort of decent hardware, compression is just not acceptable ;-)

N technology is pretty cool, and you might be able to play a blu ray back but only if you're not in a bad weather or don't have too many of these pesky things called walls in your way. In that case, you may stream, but you'll see degradation of quality as some compression would probably take place to match the bandwidth.

I personally spent the weekend and ran cat 6+ (22 awg instead of 23) through out the house so i'm wired with a gigabit lan.

5GHz N could handle the rate you quote, but I'm not running Bluray through it, just HD cable which is either 1080i or 720p, not 1080p. If you're going for uncompressed 1080p, wouldn't it be easier just to buy another Bluray player for other locations? My system was set up to save on monthly fees from multiple DVRs and being able to access a large central library of media (also pics and MP3's), but I still watch Blurays direct.

I stream everything

I've got a media server upstairs that has a blu ray reader and also a repository of pics/mp3s/vids that I've backed up so i dont have to use the discs anymore.

why have clunky pieces of equipment when all you need is one ;-)

Very cool. You're in digital heaven. Now I know why you like to give those tube amp guys some grief occasionally.

Do you know of any way to put SACD's or DVD-A's on a hard drive?

what in god's name is going on here????

better yet, find me a SACD/dvd-A reader for the computer!

this is where the encryption nonsense comes in and unfortunately, you really have to look for potentially illegal after market makers that will build you a piece of hardware that can stream unencrypted streams.

+1

...and I thought the title initially read injury as well. Might be due to my line of work.

i just read networking

Maybe this thread should be moved to the Off-Line Events forum instead of the Wine Conversations forum . . . mod take these guys away
