client and server questions

prez · #1 12-11-2003, 11:30 AM

I noticed the ability to download a client and a server version of this software. Can anyone tell me what the value or capabilities of this are? is the idea to store all your media on the server? does the client stream even the live tv signal from the server? If so, can wireless work in this scenario (I have 802.11G - 54MB)

thanks

Yes to all your questions. The value is in the answer

I (and probably many people) have a client/server config and my server is set to record at 3gb (best) setting and I can watch live tv or recordings streamed over the network. Haven't tried the highest setting (5+gb/hr i think) but I imagine it should be fine. Also, I have a wired network but have heard that 802.11g will work although you may experience some lag running multiple clients.

Im streaming 3gb (best) on an 802.11g fine..cant speak for any other settings. I havent tried them.

While running at the 3GB/hr setting, my client sees a stream of about 900KB (that's KiloBYTE) per second on the adapter. That is comperable to a 10MBit network connection.

If your (I think somebody else asked the original question, actually) wireless can sustain that rate, you should be OK.

since 802.11g is 54Mb Half-Duplex, you are probably seeing a peek transfer around 20-25Mb of full-duplex equivilant speed.

That's about right. Incidentally, I am on a wired 100Mbit network. I was just giving you the throughput I measured so you'd know how much badnwidth Sage actually used during a stream.

Yea, thats actually great to know. Excellent reference point to use. I am in the process of building another pc to use as a "server" for sage....and it will run 802.11G when it's all said and done.

Check this thread. I just recently did some CPU Utilization tests on my server and client, which might also be helpful.
