| | BitJazz Is SheerVideo faster than Ethernet?
Yes. Universal Serial Bus 2.0 (Hi-Speed USB) can handle 480 Mb/s (megabits per second), which amounts to 60 MB/s (megabytes per second). That's 5 times the original USB data rate of 12 MB/s. Yet even on a medium-speed personal computer such as a single-CPU 1 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (100 MiB/s) is nearly twice as fast as the fastest USB. On faster computers, SheerVideo outpaces USB by even more.
Yes. Ultra ATA/100 has a throughput of 100 MB/s (megabytes per second), which is 12 times the speed of the 8.33 MB/s of the original ATA-1. But even when running on a mid-range personal computer such as a 1-CPU 1 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo is just as fast as Ultra ATA/100; and on a moderately fast personal computer such as a dual-processor 1.25 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (250 MiB/s) is more than 2.5 times as fast as the fastest IDE/ATA bus. And on a faster computer, SheerVideo is correspondingly faster.
Yes. A SCSI-III Ultra3 160 bus can handle 160 MB/s (megabytes per second), or 32 times the data rate of the original SCSI-1 bus. Yet on a moderately fast personal computer such as a dual-CPU 1.25 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (250 MiB/s) is more than 60% faster than the fastest SCSI bus, and on a faster computer, SheerVideo is even faster.
Yes. A top-speed E3 phone line can carry 34.368 Mb/s (megabits per second), or about 4.3 MB/s (megabytes per second), while a top-speed DS-3/T3 line can carry 44.736 Mb/s, or about 5.6 MB/s. That's 30 times the data rate of a T1 or DSL line, 350 times as fast as an ISDN line (128 Kb/s), and 700 times the speed of an ordinary telephone line (64 Kb/s).Yet even on a mid-range personal computer such as a single-processor 1 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (100 MiB/s) is more than twice as fast as a T3 line, and 3 times as fast as an E3 line. On faster computers, SheerVideo outruns dedicated phone lines by even more.
Yes, even on a mid-range personal computer such as a 1-CPU 1 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (100 MiB/s) is more than 5 times as fast as the fastest satellite link, and on faster computers, SheerVideo pulls even further ahead. Currently, the fastest satellite link can carry around 155 Mb/s (megabits per second), which is a little less than 20 MB/s (megabytes per second). That's a thousand times faster than just a few years ago.
Yes. A twelve-strand OC-12 fiber-optic link can handle 622 Mb/s (megabits per second), which is about 78 MB/s (megabytes per second). That's 12 times the data rate of a simple OC-1 optical link. Yet even on a mid-range personal computer such as a 1-processor 1 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (100 MiB/s) is more than 30% faster than an OC-12 fiber-optic link. On faster computers, SheerVideo can outpace even thicker optical cables.
Yes, on a mid-range personal computer such as a single-processor 1 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo is already faster than FireWire 800, while on a moderately fast personal computer such as a 2-CPU 1.25 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (250 MiB/s) is more than 2.5 times as fast as the fastest FireWire link. And on a faster computer, SheerVideo is correspondingly faster. FireWire 800, the fastest version of FireWire, can transmit 800 Mb/s (megabits per second), which equals 100 MB/s (megabytes per second). That's eight times as fast as the original FireWire 100.
Yes. On a moderately fast personal computer such as a dual-processor 1.25 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (250 MiB/s) is more than twice as fast as the fastest Ethernet, and on a faster computer, SheerVideo is even faster. The fastest Ethernet version, 1000BASE-T, can handle 1 Gb/s (gigabit per second), which is equal to 125 MB/s (megabytes per second).
Yes. The fastest High-Definition Serial Digital Interface (HD-SDI) runs at 1.485 Gb/s (gigabits per second), which is around 186 MB/s (megabytes per second). That's nearly six times as fast as the original SD-SDI (270 Mb/s). On a moderately fast personal computer such as a dual-CPU 1.25 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo (250 MiB/s) is more than 40% faster than the fastest HD-SDI, and on a faster computer, SheerVideo is even more faster.
