We have a wiki! The PLUG web site; there is a section for our
project, just set the "path" of the documents you create to
something "under" the path "projects/video", for example,
"projects/video/hdmi". <b></b> Make an account on the web site and
we'll add editing rights for the entire site. Add any docs you want
to it.<br>

<pre wrap="">"standard" cat1 hdmi cables can be up to 5m. High quality cat1 HDMI
cables can be up to 25 metres. Might give us room to play a bit.
Prolly significantly more expensive though. Would that make something
like the bm shuttle a goer?</pre>

I think HDMI would be used just as firewire is now, not hugely more
flexible.<br>

Might have to look into "real world" sustained USB3 transfer rate. Be
nice to be able to play with one before we spend any dollars. Oh well.

I suspect USB3 may be a requirement; I see PCI-E cards for $22 and
$17 on deal extreme. But that does then rule out laptops and rule in
SFF desktops (most nettops don't have PCI/PCI-E).<br>
