Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted August 26, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 VLC is already available for jailbroken iphones and ipads. I have no clue how well it works but it is available. Have you tested it? ~Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Clark Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Jess, Can you jailbreak an iPad? I'm totally going to try it. rC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted August 27, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yes you can. If you haven't upgraded to 4.0.2(which only exists to fix the hole the jailbreak uses) then just go to jailbreakme.com It doesn't even require a computer. For a while people were going in to apple stores and jailbreaking all the demos with it just to f with apple :-) ~Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Clark Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Ha ha! I love it. I talked to my boss today, he knew about jail-breaking his iPad. I'll see if I can twist his arm into trying it. Or maybe I'll just go hang out in the Apple store with a Cube. hehehe rC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members richard bellon Posted August 28, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 i like the idea of streaming to ipod/ipad/mac or whatever i think its great for commercials wherby the agency all sit in video village and dont watch the monitors so now they can all stay in the office and not interfere. especially two setups later when they decide they werent paying attention and were too busy watching youtube and facebook and now want to reshoot :P regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted August 28, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Out of curiosity, what kind of stress testing have you performed so far? Maximum number of clients you've attempted watching the feed over RTP and HTTP live streaming? RTP to laptop over VLC means just one client is engaged with the Cube, which seems optimal to me. However, with the HTTP live streaming, how does the Cube handle multiple clients? Does it affect the Cube's video stream? Also, am I accurate in saying that with this system, your choices for monitoring are either an iOS device or a computer? So far, no "receiver" for video village to connect to an HD field monitor? Village now requires a computer, be it a laptop or desktop, to show off the received signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Clark Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Sorry of the delay in response. Cube is shipping today, so it's been absolutely bananas trying to get everything coordinated. To answer your questions: The rate limiter on Cube is the ability to stream over WiFi and we reach that limit around 6Mbps. That means you can stream to three or four clients simultaneously if you have low bit rates. In my experience, it's better to stream to one client with a higher bitrate (3 or 4Mbps) and use some sort of network infrastructure to distribute the signal. This video answers the questions: Regarding your second question: Do we make a Cube decoder? Yes. The encoder is the hot item, but we've had a ton of requests for a decoder that the VTR guy can use in their system. I think we're about 4-6 weeks away from delivering the Cube-to-Cube solution. rC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark East Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 VLC is already available for jailbroken iphones and ipads. I have no clue how well it works but it is available. Have you tested it? ~Jess I believe the VLC app for iOS only works with locally stored files, not live streams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted December 9, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 On set today where the dit is using a teradek. I walked all over the stage with my laptop and the signal was rock solid. Very impressive. But about a second delay. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Robert Starling SOC Posted December 10, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Is Teradek a paying sponsor supporting our forum and exempt from using real names? If so, great! If not, why not? I'm not trying to piss on the parade here and look forward to learning more about their offerings but if they want us to support them, how about supporting us.
