So this application requires a decoder at the receiving end. Since most PCs don't have decoders, this is a business application for those who can afford it, and may eventually be a home user option for those with decoder chips or software decoding (with a fast PC). Are there software MPEG decoders now available? I know there are software DVD decoders, but would they work with this kind of video? Is an MPEG software decoder a simple program that could be written as a plug-in? I'm just trying to think of how this product could start flying out the door immediately, rather than wait for companies to start building video networks. That requires broad-based applications, such as internet video transmission that can be decoded by a PC without excessive cost. I can also envision this being used by settop boxes to grab video off DSL or cable modem feeds, but again, that's a build-out issue. C'mon guys, how can we sell millions of these chips? Today . . .
