I doubt you can say x mhz per - too many other factors involved. > > >Does thishow that there is no real need for a >> "faster" DSL? >> >> Try transmitting at the same time, instead of just lurking. > >Would we expect T to be the same as R? Depends on the frame size and rate, and to how many people you're transmitting to (only one if you're 1:1 or using a reflector). Your upstream also has to do the handshaking for the incoming camera windows... > > >Is this application the most demanding you would have >> on a fast DSL? >> >> You're looking to swamp your DSL circuit?

Maybe a translation problem. I'm unsure what you're asking. Video can be demanding - yes. But it is not always *the* most cpu or i/o intensive task you can run. >I have just found a webcam with a good, big, analogue clock face >with a second hand.

People don't want their open webcams to suck up all their bandwidth, so they often set the refresh rate to be very slow. That means watching something like a clock - unless the refresh is under 1/2 sec, you're going to miss "ticks". Many webcams refresh only once every 10 or 30 seconds! - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
