 I don't drink often. Less than a 6 pack a year. It is unlikely that such a
quantity consumed over such a time period would get one intoxicated.
However, you're free to reach your own conclusion, but I don't think I have
had anything this year yet.

We are not home theater (or home anything really) so I don't know what is
out there in that market. For the record however, you know that most
commercial cable TV feeds use the 720p (HDTV1) not the 1080p (HDTV2). The
dish feeds use the 1080p. Most human eyes cannot tell the difference in the
two. Sounds like you were after a number here and not a specific result. Are
you going to fool us and say this was all for an ITS project?

>but we've worked out a system that should suffice using a hi-res IP camera

That is exactly what an Arecont camera is, a "high resolution" (a.k.a. Mega
Pixel) IP camera. It offers higher resolution than any current Sony IP
camera designed for this market segment. Maybe I should be more to the
point. You described in this thread a Rube Goldberg solution to the
customer's request. Was all that perhaps because of a brand choice (like
Sony) of camera and its limitations? I don't know what kind of setup this
guy had but folks like Sunfire not to mention Arecont itself might have had
an more interesting off the shelf solution for a digital IP input to HDMI
style output. I am not a know it all in that area certainly.

>before you decide to play know-it-all.
Still using twist on BNC connectors? ;-)

I believe we operate in different market segments. The questions I get from
customers lately are more like:
Why can't I use an iSCSI server based emulator to record video from an
encoder?
Why can I only use a traditional iSCSI on an NVR and not on encoders as
well?
I am sure you know the answers to all of that, right? Yes, and that's is why
I posted them here first. (Cough)
