  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

The Intel Media Box... Gateway to 4k!

Wired article....

Intel declined to comment, but its plan to shove TV through your ISP’s tubes will give a whole lot of people a viable alternative to the cable TV provider monopolizing their local market. Plus, thanks to the newly ratified HEVC (h.265) codec, those tubes can handle 60fps 4K transmissions. The new codec brings the size of a 4K transmission down from 45-50Mbps to 10Mbps. According to the networking gurus at Western Digital, you should be able to sustain that speed with a 20Mbps account.
 
They would need H.265 decoding hardware as no low-end Intel CPU would have the muscle to do high-bitrate H.265 decoding and that likely won't be in Intel GPUs until 2015 (Skylake chips) or so.
 
All they need to do is talk to Ambarella, I'm sure they would have a neat solution. But the reality is that they probably have decode functions built into hardware and gpu decoding on the chip sets. Encoding at a professional rate would be more interesting.

10mb/s h265, how is that going to look? Sony is going for 50 I think, and probably looks half as good as redray.
