Abstract: The present invention is a system for transmitting and receiving video signals in a digital visual interface (DVI) format over and an RF cable. The transmission and reception includes optionally scaling the video signals to plasma native resolution. Also, the transmission of the signals may be performed by varying rates of lossless or visually lossless compression and digitally modulated the signal to be transmitted over an RF cable.
Abstract: The present invention provides a peer-to-peer network for pushing data in response to a broadcast query from a content provider. The invention includes broadcasting a query message from a content provider to a plurality of nodes. After the content provider receives a response from at least one of the nodes, the content provider establishes peer-to-peer connections with the responding nodes. The content provider can then push data to the requesting nodes.
