I saw too many things that day to say exactly what the quality was, but I do remember it was full screen and they probably used a different format for recording that is converted to standard TV use.

Here's a link to the product:

More important to me was seeing very good quality full screen streaming video coming in at 600kbps. Bump the speed to over 1.5 mbps and you've got really great TV. Yes, this was full screen. All over the show floor people had these huge FPD monitors that are much larger than a standard VDT.

These companies were showing how they could replace internet viewing and TV use as we know it. And, they were doing streaming which means they didn't rely on disk drives.

Does it strike you all as the most amazing thing ever that a CFO for Microsoft would leave to run a broadband network company?

Regards,

Mark

PS Some interesting reading on bandwidth, message-board.net
