Digital Audio and Video Networks

Seems to be a need for such.  Some people use Ethernet, but that was
never meant to be used for strict real time purposes.
Any ideas about what the future might hold, or what needs to be
developed?

I have been attracted to the Gibson Guitar company's idea.

Any ideas or news about what is happening?


Any thoughts about going to OFDM for an Audio Video Network?

Just another still born multimedia transport. There have been many
multimedia transports like that introduced already. MOST, Cobranet... 
There are technical as well as non-technical reasons why none of them 
made it.

Nothing is happening.

There is absolutely no relation between the physical layer and the 
transport protocol.

How do you know the Gibson system is still born?  There would seem to
be a great deal of interest in audio/video networks.  As I see it, my
question is do you want to use OFDM for something that is wired, like
HomePlug for example.

Are there any wires with fading channels?
