A post by Barry Gordon introduced me to Video Storm. Does anyone have experience with their video distribution products? It's intriguing that they offer C4 & RTI drivers.

What do they cost. If someone were to introduce a very low cost video over IP that would be a game changer

Yes. Its a very powerful platform. Very low cost for residential since you just need a FireTV and license at each TV.

We use it mostly for sport bars. You would use their VRX040 at each TV. But includes a ton of features, text overlay(on top of live TV), video wall, video tiler, digital signage, IR control of the TV from VRX040, you can control this from there driver and not use any extra ports on your processor, CEC built in as well. There are more features just cant think of all them..

We use RTI for our sportbar control system. Its solid, they have a APEX driver now thats in beta as well.

With the txt overlay, that's even in the driver. So I have a button on the interface that has set messages - like a button that says "$2 SHOTS". They click it and that messages shows on all TVs at the bottom. You can also set how long you want the message to show for.

Setup takes some getting use to, but easy to get !!

Ive always been surprised video over IP isn't more cost effective that HDbaseT.

As i understand HDbaseT relies on custom ASIC chips, where as presumably HD over IP is using standard processors to compress, package and unpack the video.

It all depends on scale. If the market seems large enough an ASIC will be developed. Once the development costs have been recovered and the market expands, the price will plummet. We've been here before, one must have patience. Remember when simple 10Mb networking was very expensive and exclusively in the domain of well financed corporate environments? I'm chaffing for the cost of optical to plummet.

Very good system. Use it every chance I get. Setup is definitely confusing and little harder than others but the product is solid and gives you a lot of features that others charge you another product for.
