Yeah, standards fight between Samsung/Phillips and Intel/Silicon Image!
Why does every new computer standard these days have to be a fight/pissing contest? Why can't we share patents and get along?
Yeah, Type-B HDMI already supports high resolution video, DDC (link interrogation), serial (remote control), DRM (HDCP) and 8-channel audio. It is also backward compatible with dual-link DVI.
The only thing I can tell that's different is that it sends differences in screen refreshes rather than the full screen for the sake of bandwidth. But unless you're trying to reduce the bandwidth for a wireless link, which we're not with this specification, I don't see why you would need to add additional processing to figure out what's different in each frame.
This sounds like another pissing contest to me because VESA wasn't the one to create the "standard". After this, we'll have the Type-B HDMI and DisplayPort that do exactly the same thing! Is this deja vu of the DVD+R vs DVD-R again?
We can see how well that worked for the DVD recording market. Most people are still back on CD-R's because CD-R's still do a good job of saving alot more data than floppy disks and consumers aren't confused about which DVD spec to buy. Why can't the different organizations be friends and just further the market rather than playing pissing contests with each other?
Anyway, with the impending standards war on the horizon, we'll be stuck in DVI land for a while. I'm so not looking forward to it.
Um, that's not feasable for high-density environments such as "real" data centers because of the heat that's generated. When you're housing foods that don't generate large amounts of heat, the "freezer section" works. But when you start getting into stuff that actually creates heat, you have to have a medium to move the heat away from the source. That would be the general trend to move air from the front of the rack to the back of the rack. That's why rack's usually have about 60% of the front and back doors open for air.
When you get into higher density computing centers, it becomes even more important to move air from front to back to be able to move enough heat away from the computers to keep them operating efficiently. Thus, the "freezer section" idea would not be possible. If you want to get into computational fluid dynamics, Liebert has equipment that can create "hot aisle/cold aisle" rack arrangements within a data center. Obviously, since you've never heard of Liebert, you probably work in a smaller, low-density data room. Liebert's cooling systems are used in medium to high density computing such as supercomputing applications.
I'm assuming these guys are government workers for localities because I would be horrified if this were any permanent federal facility. I work for a federal facility and my current location's server room is somewhat "ghetto" too but only because we're a transient facility that will probably shut down in a month or two. Our regional facility, uses good ole' Liebert systems.
