OK. This is a little out of place but I am wondering if anyone on the forum is using a wireless solution to play back sequences on their network? I ask because one of my clients is a football team. They digitize DV video through the DV Sport system (I used to use AvidSport back in the day) using 4 laptops. The network system they are using, well, sortof sucks. The building is not bad but the End Zone has a lift that they literally throw an ethernet cable onto and it go up with them from their building behind them some 125 feet away from a coaches office. Students rap the Cat5 ethernet cables and we know how students like to destroy cables by wrapping the cables around their arms/shoulders.
So my question is this. Is there a Gigabit Wirelesss solution that could replace the cables? Needs to be the coverage of a football stadium.
I flirted with thoughts of wireless gigabit before.... I have four clients literally a stone throw from my building that I frequently show footage to at their house. If I could catch the signal, I would like to send files over directly as streams. I joked about burrowing holes and dropping ethernet cables throughout the complex connecting my rooms with theirs directly - maybe this type of wireless makes that notion less of a joke? I also have people shooting to laptops in a multicamera setting frequently (EX media comes out killer!) doing Web video work (which does not need to be 1080i or anything). If I could have them connected to a network and digitize to my array I would be beyond happy. Quick turnaround.
Thanks, gobucks
