4k video feeds (the new High Def):

compressed: 1Gb/s

?? Current over-the-air HD (at a max of 1080i) is up to 19 megabits per second (and most don't run it that high). Most cable systems compress it more. 4k video is roughly 8 times the pixels than 1080i, but is typically going to be compressed with better algorithms (MPEG4 is roughly half the size of MPEG2), which would mean 4k video (at TV quality) would be around 100 megabits per second. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
