Internet and TV (TeleVision)
Television signals provide a slideshow of images fast enough to fool our
eye into believing we are seeing real motion. Film uses 24 frames and television
uses 30 frames per second, and the combination of frame size used and the
number of frames per second contains far more data than Internet data transfer
can handle. There is not enough bandwidth. To give the appearance of video
on a computer screen both the size of the frame, the number frames, and
the quality or amount of data in any one frame is significantly reduced.
Different programmers have implemented procedures in different ways, but
none of them have a universal way to integrated time events. The first
effort then must to introduce standards to allow more effective integration.
Standards
The World Wide Web Consortium is working on standards for integrating television
broadcasts, as a well as a host of other related devices. Their TV development
has been integrated with work under the topic of Device Independent Devices.
Create a Desktop Computer Television Station and Compose its Broadcasts
"Live Channel ô is
the world's first software-only solution designed to replace a television
studio, providing real-time editing, high quality encoding and real-time
streaming in one integrated application."
Listen to Web TV Stations
This work is highly experimental. There is just this one site that I have
found at this time that is open to all web users without special hardware
or special connections. Contributions to this area are welcome.
