Audio Video Digital Networks?

[zenmasterbrian]

Seems to be a need for such. Some people use Ethernet, but that was never meant to be used for strict real time purposes.

Any ideas about what the future might hold, or what needs to be developed?

I have been attracted to the Gibson Guitar company's idea.

Any ideas or news about what is happening?

Any thoughts about going to OFDM for an Audio Video Network?
