Re: Live Video on Dashboard

Question, and let me just preface this by saying I have no experience with this years control system.

Isn't the field, etc. using the 802.11n wifi protocol this year? It's my understanding that wireless-N is capable of throughput somewhere in the 100mbps range which makes me wonder why on earth you would be limited to 900 some K and have to compress video down to 160x120. It seems with N you ought to be able to do at least standard def video.

I would think something like this would be the whole rationale for using Wireless-N for filed communications otherwise it seems like way overkill if you're just going to move a few K worth of data round.

I apologize in advance if my severe lack of knowledge makes this question a total waste of time.

Just curious,

Justin
