Does the image quality get degraded over the Ethernet LAN?
With the 2G models there is no impact on the image quality. With the 1G models, if you do a side by side comparison of an identical screen connected directly to a 1080p source, and a second screen connected through the network you will detect a minor difference. We are using a live JPEG2000 CODEC which we’ve optimized for motion. Our biggest headache is with Text and large areas of the same color (i.e. a solid black screen will show some artifacts). However, the vast majority of people who witnessed the 1G solution being demonstrated at CEDIA said the image quality would be more than sufficient for most of their customers. We’ve done our best to be up front about the 1G models not being a “perfect” solution, just a pretty darned good solution that opens up a new market for distributed video. We don’t need to offer any excuses for the 2G solution, as it is a visually lossless solution. What about the IR ports I see in the pictures? The 1G models currently send a RETURN IR signal from th
