I was at a covert applications conference recently and was intrigued as to how our IndigoVision encoders were being used.
Actually not so much how but more the low bandwidth they were being used with.

We often talk about giving great off site images at 250Kbps 12ips CIF and recording on site at 4CIF 25ips but one of the presentations was showing a remote application recording at 2Mbps 25ips 4CIF. No shocks there. The part that amazed me was seeing video streaming over 3G mobile at 50Kbps 25ips CIF and audio at 32kpbs and still getting an image that was great for observation.
