the "jitter" in the elevator scene is actually an artifact of the source engine. They always jitter during elevator scenes because of how they didn't attach players to moving platforms, so they're falling and hitting the ground ~30x/second (the tickrate for L4D2)

[@talescarpinete9033]

The reason for all of this jitter and weird 1080i vs. 1080p is NOT that the receiver is deinterlacing. The GPU is transmitting at 1080i and the Receiver is receiving at 1080i. The MONITOR is the one deinterlacing. It's using a Bob-deinterlacing strategy which means it takes every field and stretches the height to be full height and displays every now-resized field. So every odd field (every 2nd field, now full height frame) will feel displaced by 1px downward.

[@Mixamaximus]

@@cURLybOi Around 14:53 you can hear Jake say that he can see interlacing on the screen capture but Linus said he couldn't see it on the actual display. There seems to be something off with the display they were using for testing. They have a weird setup using a special screen that has HDMI passthrough. A normal capture setup is video output -> capture card -> passthrough to monitor. The setup in this video is video output -> monitor that has HDMI out -> passthrough to capture card. I think the monitor is causing interlacing on its output to the capture card as well as the "jelly" effect that they saw around 15:18. The jelly effect isn't visible on the captured output which means it's likely an artifact of the LCD panel itself rather than the video signal. It would have been nice if they tested with another screen to verify but I also understand why they didn't devote any more time to troubleshooting strange video artifacts on an obsolete video card from 12 years ago.

A couple things: L4D2 is almost always like that, especially with elevators, due to how the engine works all of the collisions for the models. Also, with the video for Crab Rave, you can still see a lot of compression with a 3080 - both at 1080p and 4k. The only good way to show how it is, was CS:GO. With that said, 5GHz Wi-Fi being used a lot now compared to when it was released, that might also be affecting the latency, and could be causing at least some of the artifacting due to the now busy/noisy signal band.

There's gotta be a way to send a progressive signal, cuz that is all deinterlacing artifacts. I use a special deinterlaced for old consoles for similar reasons. Either in the GPU drivers or Windows, switching the resolution specifically has gotta help maybe to 900p or something. Or even the wireless card itself maybe has something. The interlacing is definitely half the issue, especially on an LCD panel.

[@tschuuuls486]

I'd guess it's detecting the Monitor to only support 1080i and therefore sending an interlaced signal.

the 460 was like the nokia 3310 of gpus. you can overclock and overvoltage and overheat the thing without breaking it. If it was a motor engine, you may forget about oil change and oil levels and that thing will still work. I used one before and it survived 9 whole years of neglect and abuse, until finally the metals decayed and disintegrated. The only problem with it which is true to all electronic device is the half-life of the metals used in the circuitry, capacitors, connectors, etc. which range from only just a few hours to a few weeks. On average you really have to change hardware in 3-5 years as the metals will degrade on its own over time. The silicon chips wont, but whatever metallic element they used for circuitry, will.

It wouldn't, HDMI is digital, it either works or it doesn't. The real problem here is the monitor, which is the one deinterlacing the signal badly.

[@Nostalgia_Realm]

I wonder if the Windows display setting defaulted to 60i instead of 60p? Because that sure sounds like it is the case. The monitor is doing the de-interlacing in this case, which might cause visual artifacts. But the video playback test leads me to believe there is more to this. From amimon's website, creator of WHDI: WHDI™ takes the uncompressed HD video stream and breaks it into elements of importance. The various elements are then mapped onto the wireless channel in a way that give elements with more visual importance a greater share of the channel resources, i.e. they are transmitted in a more robust manner. Elements that have less visual importance are allocated fewer channel resources, and therefore are transmitted in a much less robust way. Allocation of channel resources can include, for example, setting power levels, spectrum allocation and coding parameters. So it seems as though that the data might be uncompressed, but data is definitely being altered in ways. The nowadays heavy use of the 5 GHz band might also make this tech less useful today.

Maybe in a large booth at a convention or to a monitor out in a fab shop. That could justify the cost that doesn't seem justifiable for you average home user.

Gotta remember, back in the day this was new a 100ft hdmi cable cost 300+ dollars and the wireless HDMI boxes were in their infancy, they started at 300+ dollars. This would be a solid setup for a lot of projector setups or perhaps big meeting room TVs. Some of the jitter may be down to a lack of proper drivers or firmware issues.

[@37racso]

The jitter is from interlacing. This is literally the best this image could look at 60 Hz.

[@Garkimyer]

This is actually a very good idea for the time imo, disregarding performance. The idea of not needing to feed super long display cables for environments like large meeting rooms and/or eliminating the need for any external cable management is a great concept. Would also be good for standing desks since setting up display cables to be able to use the height adjustment is a pain in the butt, unless you’re fine with dangling and sagging cords. Obviously today the add on device is better, but i bet this inspired it. It seems almost like a proof of concept device to me.

[@novanightmare6289]

I wonder if all the additional wireless signals going around today caused some kind of interference with the older device? Perhaps back in its day that card was able to perform better.

[@CsabaTothMr]

Can you revisit this? Because just like with wifi signals the signal can be polarized and orientation matters A LOT. Baby computer houses got out of fashion after Intel 386 (decade before this card) and your test rig keeps the card upright and thus the antennas are horizontal. If the card would be in a laid down position in a tower (as probably intended) then all the four antennas would be perpendicular to what you have! From that perspective it's kind of a miracle that the card performed as good as it could (because the receiver circuits might be perpendicular to the antennas). Can you confirm this?

[@TehButterflyEffect]

That's.... Not how a wireless signal works with a unidirectional antenna.

[@ThatCaff]

I used to troubleshoot 5G wireless In people’s homes and if this is using that same standard, you might actually benefit from keeping the devices farther away than that. Attenuation is one thing, but I’ve experienced this paradoxical thing where some minor distance improves video streaming on wireless tv set-top boxes and throughput on wireless devices. I have no idea why this is the case, but it seems like some kind of error correction algorithm expects a few feet of separation instead of being right on top of a device.

Did you ever try to swap out the HDMI cable? I don't think it would make a difference, but still worth a shot. Maybe it also would be better if the TV was at least 10 feet away from the receiver, since it was probably designed to actually be used at a distance. Otherwise, very entertaining video, and cool to see this old tech in a video!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I agree. Testing with known good HDMI cable and having sensible distance would have been good thing to test. Wireless technology typically has some minimum distance for which the transmission power is optimized and the transmission is "too hot" for closer distances causing signal saturation at the receiver.

[@Jman116Films]

I imagine that the IR sensor was for when you paired it with a TV. Using one remote, super fancy!
