WiFi-Enabled TV Broadcasting
Posted by Janak Parekh in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 12:30 PM
Believe it or not, I literally mean "broadcasting" - these guys utilized public Wi-Fi networks in NYC to set up experimental wireless broadcast stations capable of doing cable-quality programming. I can't wait for the day when we can all broadcast ourselves on TV using wireless-enabled PDAs... :)
"The goal of the project is to establish procedure and criteria for broadcasting to the cable or satellite TV network from remote locations, using a laptop, camera and any type of available broadband Internet connection - preferably WiFi.
The motivation for such an exercise is the attempt to break away from classical TV production requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars in specialized infrastructure and enable immediate and on-the-fly transmission from remote locations to the TV network, ultimately leading toward creative production of programming from within a P2P network."
