TV "Broadcasting" Over Wireless Networks?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday September 3, 2003 @04:24PM from the lower-barriers-to-entry dept.

nuggetman asks: "This year we're starting an in-high-school TV network. What we would like to do is be able to broadcast from anywhere in the building using our wireless 802.11b network. In doing some tests at home, I discovered 802.11b has enough bandwidth to allow me to send live video at VHS quality (320x240 29.97fps) w/ FM quality audio when using Windows Media encoder on the sending end, and Windows Media Player at full screen on the receiving end. When applied in school, the receiving computer would simply output the full screen display to a TV signal. Are there any other free (as beer) solutions that would let us do this, other than WMP?"

Nullsoft developed NSV, nullsoft streaming video.
It can use a regular shoutcast server and winamp to play it.

It's a bit poorly documented, but any geek should be able to figure it out. It can play a set of files in a loop, do live feeds, etc.
