Variety of artistic content in up to HD. Many HDTV manufacturers are including web connections directly, avoiding the need for Gateways for non DRM content.

Viewing artistic performances and visual art images onto inexpensive high resolution displays is easily achievable. Artistes du Globe has taken the challenge of integrating a server controlled encryption and remote decryption method to protect secure content and to power a method to pay all the stakeholders as their art is enjoyed by an increasing mass audience.

Network to the TV can be accomplished using standard electrical wiring and these HomePlug adaptors. Streaming HD has been demonstrated across these small inexpensive devices.

Establishing a network connection to customer Media Centers is nothing new. Artistes du Globe requires processing power and a hard-drive to enable our DRM system and local HD streaming. One day soon, Artistes du Globe may operate on Sony Playstations and XBox 360 devices.

Artistes du Globe is first and foremost a Community of Artists, Producers, Consumers, Associations, Teachers, Students, Technologists, Service Providers and other participants and stakeholders. The arts community is very fragmented with a mixed array of strategies and community efforts which leave the arts isolated or drowning in horizontal social networks like FaceBook and others which have no Arts Focus. We change that. And we provide the next generation platform for the Community and the Arts Business we share.

Television via Internet is coming like a tidal wave.

There are two approaches to delivering videos, streaming and downloaded files. We intend to support variable bit-rate streaming, downloading and real time two-way streaming to support our virtual classroom/studio goals. While streaming video is still in its infancy, Artistes du Globe believes that the Adobe Flash and AIR strategy best fits our goals, including the secure protection of rights controlled content. The Artistes du Globe social network and prototype Art-Serve System is scheduled for completion in late 2009.

When the system is complete, Artistes du Globe will enable customers to log into the web site, select and order various types of performances and the viewing files will be securely streamed or downloaded directly to your home for full resolution viewing at your convenience.

Customers require wired or wireless high-speed internet at the TV viewing area, which can be done on a computer or an optional Art-Serve Gateway, a very small computer that uses the TV as its monitor. The Artistes du Globe system will receive and store the performances and display them to the TV. You can view them as often as you like for three-days. Since the performances are stored, so bandwidth issues for streaming display are avoided.

The Art-Serve system focuses on still art and will display paintings or photos onto display screens around the home or office. You can rotate artworks and set up custom art sets of your favorites.

Artists and production companies can supply performances for inclusion on the Artistes du Globe system and earn a substantial portion of revenue from every performance viewed.
