    What is the date and location of the DirecTV Revolution 2011 convention for retailers?

    I'm trying to find out some details about this show and all I can find are reviews from the 2010 convention in Dallas. If you can point me to a website or a contact for the show, I'd appreciate it.

    Does NFL ST use HDCP to limit number of screens?

    The setup is really quite simple (at least from my perspective). All of the devices have fixed IP addresses, so you don't have to bother with HDCP or adding a Router to the HDMI LAN. Using static port VLAN's, you setup a different VLAN for each HDMI over IP Transmitter. Then you plug your HDMI...

    Does NFL ST use HDCP to limit number of screens?

    I asked the engineers behind the networking component of the HDMI over IP solution to comment about this recommendation and they don't really want to publicly give out a whole lot of details/secrets away about how we are doing some of this at this time. Please just accept that we recommend you...

    Does NFL ST use HDCP to limit number of screens?

    The HTTP server in the HDMI over IP Transmitters uses IGMP to manage client membership of the multi-cast. This makes it easier for new clients (HDMI over IP Receivers) to instantly join an in progress audio/video stream.

    Does NFL ST use HDCP to limit number of screens?

    That information is publicly available from the DirecTV website. You can find all the details in the PDF at http://www.directv.com/images/Directv%20For%20Business/Bars_And_Restaurants/Bars_and_Restaurants_Public_Viewing_Paperwork.pdf . The pricing is not based on the number of receivers, it's...

    Does NFL ST use HDCP to limit number of screens?

    Good questions, thank you for asking. All of the control options are "optional". You can use any PC/MAC/Linux device to access the HTTP interface on a Managed Switch (it does NOT have to be a Cisco switch), OR you can use a stand alone controller like Crestron, AMX, C4, etc..., OR you can use...

    Does NFL ST use HDCP to limit number of screens?

    Those simple splitters won't cut the mustard, as the owner wants a full matrix implementation, where any of the 30 HDTV screens can be showing and listening to any of the "up to 10 at a time" NFL Sunday Ticket games. Here is a schematic of the solution we are proposing: There are only 5...

    I've found independent verification of this (no HDCP attached screens limits for DirecTV) in a report published by Crestron.

    Does NFL ST use HDCP to limit number of screens?

    Well, I'm working on a scenario for a sports bar with 30 screens. I have no problem building a system to distribute 10 DTV HR21 receivers via HDMI to 30 screens, with the ability to show anything anywhere, in any imaginable combination. What I have in mind is to use HDMI and IR over IP...

    Does NFL ST use HDCP to limit number of screens?

    I'm trying to find out if the NFL Sunday Ticket broadcast uses the HDCP flag to limit how many screens are being shown the same image? Does anybody have any practical experience with trying to split/share the HDMI output from something like the HR21 receiver to mutliple HDTV displays?
