Inside Digital Media: Third Generation Television: Home Networks

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 06:00:45 -0500

If you would like to learn how to use the existing electrical power lines in your home as conduits for a Local Area Network, this Interview is for you.

Our guest today is Cameron McCaskill who is Vice President of Business Development at Intellon Corporation. His company designs semiconductor chips for Home Networks that utilize the existing electrical power lines as signal pathways. Companies such as Linksys and D-Link purchase the chips and sell adapters that are sold by popular electronics retailers such as BestBuy. As discussed in earlier podcasts, we believe that Third Generation Television which has Internet Access as its defining characteristic is at hand. Reliable and easily installed Home Networks are an essential enabling technology for the scenario.

First Generation Television began after World War II. It was broadcast by local TV stations and received by viewers at their homes via antennas. TV stations typically received programming by affiliating with a network like ABC, CBS, or NBC.

Second Generation Television began around 1980 when the CATV industry moved into urban markets. This led to the rise of cable networks like ESPN, Discovery, and Comedy Central, among others. Most viewers paid a monthly fee to a service provider for program delivery. Cable operators and satellite TV companies were the major conduits.

In the Third Generation, video resides within the Internet Cloud. Broadband ISPs provide access. Programming is available on-demand, searchable, and the Long-Tail stretches to near infinity.

Intellon believes that its power line technology will be a key enabler for Third Generation Television for three reasons.

First, installation of power line networks is reported to provide “plug-and-play” simplicity, particularly if the homeowner already has a router.

Second, the “Power Line AV” standard of adapter offers adequate bandwidth for video, including High Definition video.

Third, electrical power lines normally provide clear signal pathway throughout the home. In contrast, WiFi networks can be plagued by “dead spots” owing to interfering physical structures or RF attenuation.

Inside Digital Media: Putting Metadata in Your Podcast

[See post to watch Flash video]
As regular subscribers realize, I have been monitoring my viewing experience now that I get unlimited Internet Video on television. One obvious pattern is heavy reliance upon search engines, especially for Long-Tail content such as author interviews and documentaries, etc. Thus, podcasters should use metadata in order to help Google find our episodes.

NeatLittleMacApps: NLMA 051 Timeline 3D

Frank De Graeve — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 04:21:01 -0500

Screenshot based on Wikipedia article.

Timeline 3D offers for a great way to display... wel... events! But these aren't the dull grey timelines one had to make in school. These aren't the numbing presentations where all the stuff just turns into one big pile of dates and facts.

Timeline 3D will offer you a visually stunning overview of all your timelines. With the various export features, this app will deliver you the goods, for teachers, writers, business people or students.

This episode is brought to you by Bee Docs. Again, we all know that I only review applications I personally find worth reviewing, so I dearly appreciate it when developer goes ahead and sponsors the show anyway. That said, be sure to pay a quick visit to the site of beedocs at www.beedocs.com. Visit the site not just for dowloading the demo of Timeline (which you'll need to win a free license in the episode) but also check out all possible areas where Timeline 3D really shines (education, at work, for writers and businesses). Thanks for supporting the show.
