Hi Bill,


My immediate thought, is that when you combine digital cameras with wireless HDR, you get a way to transmit video without going to a bird in the sky. Instead of sending a truck out with a dish, you have a reporter with a video camera and a built-in CDMA phone with HDR. At the present HDR rate, you would have some delay, but it would be almost real time.


For commercial quality live TV broadcast, this is unrealistic. HDR target is for 2.4 Mbits transfer rate. Good quality commercial video will require a much higher bit rate to maintain quality. The digital camcorders available today generate video at bit rates of 25MB for consumer and 50MB for commercial versions. It's possible to get good quality video at lower bit rates than that, but still a long ways from HDR target of 2.4MB.

Another obstacle may be that remote areas may not have HDR coverage. You probably already knew that.

Cheers,

Piyush
