„Ethernet) on devices that today use USB or Firewire, and it is also about making it viable to use networking in areas that you wouldn't have even considered before Rendezvous. Imagine a future world where you connect your television and amplifier and DVD player with just a couple of Ethernet cables, instead of today's spaghetti mess of composite video, S-Video, component video, stereo audio, 5.1 Dolby, Toslink optical audio cables, etc.“

„While this is the first US deployment of this technology, multiple international orders for 2K DLP Cinema projectors for early 2004 include 20 in Singapore, 20 in China, and 10 in Belgium. The 2K DLP technology from Texas Instruments allows 2048 x 1080p resolution and employs 3 DMD (digital micro-mirror device) chips, one each for red, blue, and green. The Christie CP2000 system installed at Grauman's also provides a contrast ratio over 500:1 and screen size up to 75 feet wide, and uses either a 4,500 or 6,000 Watt lamp.“http://www.gearbits.com/archives/ cat_home_av.html - Cached
„It will provide power on the connector like USB and FireWire, so it can power small peripheral devices. It will use IP packets like Ethernet, so it provides your wide-area communications for things like email and Web browsing, but it will also use Zeroconf IP so that connecting local devices is as easy as USB or FireWire is today. People ask me if I'm seriously suggesting that your keyboard and mouse should use the same connector as your Internet connection, and I am.“http://www.largelypro.com/mtblog/archives/ 000287.html - Cached
„My cell phone, for example, isn't even big enough to support an Ethernet port. Ethernet also can't carry power, which USB and FireWire can. That poses problems for the small devices like a mouse and keyboard, which need some power to run.“http://www.mohea.com/mike/words/ 2003_11.html#000331 - Cached

„Anyway, here are our test results: Video The overall video quality of this DVD player is very poor. When you have the player set to 16x9, with all 4:3 and non-anamorphic DVDs, black bars are inserted on the sides of the image. This Window boxes movies on 16x9 displays. We could not find any way to defeat this feature, so it really ruined the 16x9 experience. This player only offers YC and composite outputs.

„While most home theater quality TVs have much better speakers and amplifiers than those old TVs we grew up with, the best sound is to be had with a separate amplifier. There are several reasons for this decision:“http://hometheaterinfo.com/amplifiers.htm - Cached
„Each had a rather sweet and smooth top end, adding nothing to any digital nasties whether creating the digital signal (the A3.2 CD player) or amplifying the signal (the A3.2 preamplifier). Musical Fidelity's M 250 amplifiers while also offering value, a moderate price tag and plenty of raw power, were unable to match its siblings' sweetly refined treble response. The 250s audibly emphasized or revealed some brightness and harshness from less than ideal sources.“http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/1202/ karlskorner.htm - Cached
„If he is, the odds tend to go in your favor; most of those have probably built their own amplifiers and preamps and have a tendency to still be vinyl-oriented listeners. I'm going to summarize my findings from various sources, but only naming one of them who I'm using as the basis for my summary. I do not recall any specific dispute from any of the other sources.“http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/0602/ karlskorner.htm - Cached
