  1. Media Center meets MyLifeBits to go home"The PC is going to be the place where you store the information … really the center of control“ - Bill Gates CES 1/2001UC/Berkeley 20 November 2002 Gordon Bell Microsoft Research Gbell@microsoft.com www.research.microsoft.com/~gbell

  2. Converging MyLifeBits, Home A/V with Media Center MyLifeBits is an “on-going” project following CyberAll to “cyberize” and now be able to USE all of bits! • Memory recall of books, CDs, communication, papers, photos, video, TV and saved TV (unless I’ll be incarcerated) • Photos of physical object collections • Elimination of all physical stores & objects • Content and use: ambiance, entertainment, communication, interaction using Media Center for music, photos, TV & saved TV, videos • Telephone and other conversations and messages To understand and utilize the 1 TByte PC:need, utility, cost, feasibility, problems & tools.

  3. Work in progress(Plasma panel goes here.) HP Media Center goes here.

  18. The “Black PC” aka DHEC: Digital Home Entertainment Center ?

  19. Provides a wide range of rich entertainments in your living room PC Entertainment Appliance alias: Gateway Server alias: Media Center alias: Media Server • Attractive, quiet, easy to install • Easy to use, just pick an entertainment task • Single remote control • Always on… ready to entertain • PC architecture inside (consumer transparent) • Only does entertainments, not general PC activities… realistic?? • Seamlessly mixes TV and the Web • Incremental purchasing model eg. device bay • Technologies provide enhanced TV • Range of 1394/USB receiver modules for premium TV • Gateway server for the video home network alias: eHome Appliance Dave Marsh, Microsoft

  20. Media CenterOne H/W for multiple functions Reduces the number of devices, remotes and wires around the TV

  21. HP Media Center sans TV

  22. Content for future home entertainment centerContent from nets and CyberAll • TV and radio content (ala TiVo and rivo)… plus aggressive capture for future viewing (movies) and listening • WWW (pages, mail, etc.) • Personal Photos • Personal videos • Art (“TV-set” screen savers) • Internet radio and ripped CD audio • Virtual window (train ride, concerts, MTV)

  23. Utility/Media Ambiance (just being there) Entertainment& Education Communicate at a distance Interaction Text Books >> ebooks; newspapers Fax >> email; chat Audio CDs, radio>> Ripped CDs, MP3, Internet Radio Internet Radio Telephone >>IP telephony; voice chat Live performances^>> Net jam sessions Visual Art, photos>> “TV Screen savers”… art, photos, posters, video Web cams tele-places Audio/Visual MTV >>MTV (digital) “discovery channel” >> tele-learning Life-size videophone.

  31. Train ride…

  32. Cyber All, a 1 Tbyte, lifetime PC: Cyberizing everything…I’ve written, said, presented (incl. video), photos of physical objects & a few things I’ve read, heard, seen

  33. Imagine the “killer app” for: The One Tbyte, Lifetime, PC • CyberAll convinces me of a lifetime memory! • Technology to support the vision: • Guarantee that data will live forever! • Low cost (to user) cyberization • A single index that includes mail, conversations, web accesses, and books! • E-book…e-magazines reach critical mass! • Telephony and audio capture are needed • Photo & video “index serving” • More meta-information … Office, photos • Lots of GUI to improve ease-of-use

  34. Storing all we’ve read, heard, & seen Human data-types /hr /day (/4yr) /lifetime read text, few pictures 200 K 2 -10 M/G 60-300 G speech text @120wpm 43 K 0.5 M/G 15 G speech @1KBps 3.6 M 40 M/G 1.2 T stills w/voice @100KB 200 K 2 M/G 60 G video-like 50Kb/s POTS 22 M .25 G/T 25 T video 200Kb/s VHS-lite 90 M 1 G/T 100 T video 4.3Mb/s HDTV/DVD 1.8 G 20 G/T 1 P

  38. Network Scheme Data-rate Advantage Disadvantage CAT5+ 4 Twisted pr. 1Gbps Separate wiring; low cost; easy install. Telco compatible. “Fungible” wiring. New wiring. Useful for audio and composite video. Inability to transmit CATV. CATV R6U Co-ax 1 GHz (150 6 MHz chs.) Exists for TV sets; could also serve IP throughout the home RF analog; no digital Teleph. 2-4 Tel. 10 Mbps Uses existing wiring Questionable data-rate Power AC Power ? Uses existing wiring Unproven; safety 1394  Everything Distance, lack of protocols 802.11b Radio LAN 11 Gbps No wires Crowded spectrum, speed 802.11a Radio LAN 50 Gbps “ “ Bluetoot 1.

  39. Vcr, settop, media and channel co’s for Television

  40. Digital Rights Management… unless MPAA provides a “reasonable” market for media, the whole world will become thieves. • Provide a “reasonable” market and industry for renting, owning, viewing, etc. content • Make it illegal to record video, police every hard drive, and prosecute users • Eliminate the “open video” interface and replace with DVI Cableetc Set-top “O DVI Monitor Encoder

  41. NY TIMES Perishable dvd 0211

  42. Put the set top and content at the head-end or central office • A 3.5 ft rack that inputs Gigabit Ethernet containing MPEG-2 (and its successors) digital video or IP and provides high-ingestion rate storage for four hours for 150 TV channels plus another 150 movies and generates up to 128 frequency agile 6-MHz carriers carrying a total of 1280 separate 3.85 Mbps MPEG-2 digital streams to individual subscribers. • The in-house set top (“transformer”) is 1 chip.

  43. End bit

  44. Gordon’s very own Vision for the evolution of Home Networks • We’re on a quest for cyberization • Three networks need to converge for: • computation, • communication and • entertainment • A look inside the home • A look at the black boxes • Integrating audio, photos, video and TV

  45. Tools • Acrobat*, Paperport* 6, Omnipage 10 • Indexing Service & Enfish (indexer/search) • Conversion of DEC 8” floppies • “Doubles” to reduce redundancies *Microsoft epaper can replace these!
