Tokyo's Gentleman Story

Nowadays, it is impossible to do streaming media with the performance of computers at home.

Although in this era, there has been streaming media network video, but this and live broadcast are two concepts.

In fact, this year, the biggest obstacle to live broadcasting is not the bandwidth problem, but the problem of

this year. However, Sen Xia takes the second place and adopts another method, which will not increase the burden on the live broadcast's computer.

In short, senxia's method is as follows: the player's machine will not have any video information, but will send instructions to the official platform, which is the same as "audience watching" in Warcraft 3 or other similar games.

And it is the "audience" at the other end who is really responsible for broadcasting this part of the content, but this audience is relatively special, which is the official platform. What the audience saw was not the player's computer itself, but the official computer.

Senxia has tried to live online before, and this method is also explored by the official now.

There are also reasons for using the game of Isaac, because it has a great ornamental value. If you play well, you can be very anxious and let people come on the stage in person; if you play well, you can feel free and unrestrained.

What's more, even if it's watching live, the combination of Isaac is not boring to watch - because every game is a new experience.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the color requirements of the game are very low. When playing as a streaming media, the bit rate can be reduced as much as possible to reduce the screen requirements. Especially for the color part, when the combination of Isaac is the lowest, it can be reduced to 256 colors. At this time, the bandwidth requirement will be very low.

256 colors are 8-bit colors, while 16 bit enhanced colors are 65536 colors. As for true color 24 bits, that is 16777216 colors, which requires a lot of graphics cards and bandwidth.

For example, the size of a bitmap is the pixel of the image multiplied by the bit depth, and then divided by eight. For example, if a 1024 × 1024 resolution image uses 256 colors (eight bit color), then the image size is 1024 × 1024 × 8 / 8, and the unit is bytes. If it is converted into megabytes, it is exactly 1MB. If it is true color, it is 3MB.

As for other JPG graphs, they are essentially compression algorithms for bitmap files, or some additional information is added to them.

This method is a kind of compression algorithm which came to the thought of a society after a long time of research.

At the beginning, group a considered the extent to which the video code rate would be reduced. However, there was a dilemma in doing so. That is, when the video code rate drops, the screen will be easy to be blurred, and if the resolution is reduced, the picture will be illegible.

The video rate is roughly the resolution × quality × frame number, then divided by 1024 and added to the audio code rate.

With a resolution of 720p, if the bandwidth is 2m (i.e. 256Kb), it is basically able to watch.

But that's the problem.

Because 2m This is the "high configuration" Internet of this era.

Compared with the future 50m or 100m optical fiber, the speed of this network is not enough.

However, group a generally believes that senxia's idea is not wrong.

According to the research done by a society, they found that the network speed of mud boom is increasing rapidly, and all places are vigorously building the Internet, so it is necessary to seize the opportunity.

Therefore, they thought of this kind of retreat and seek the second, occupy the pit first and then speak.

Fortunately, most games this year support eight bit color display, including StarCraft.

In addition, dc-p also has its own unified color table. When developing games and transplanting games, the colors of game manufacturers need to comply with this specification, so this reduction is acceptable.

In fact, in order to maintain a high frame rate on dc-p, some games will also reduce the color from the original 24 bit color to 16 bit color or 8-bit color in some scenes, and the resolution will be greatly reduced.

Well, the so-called optimization That's it.

Senxia sometimes makes this kind of optimization.

For example, in the setting of the moon, the picture of the game will be reduced and then expanded to the whole picture by interpolation Well, this is the same as the forced interpolation of Xbox on the other world line. On Xbox, there are many so-called "full HD" games, but in fact, these games are forced to stretch and interpolate with low resolution, which is false HD. What's more, they have made a bad start, that is, they are the first to let the fake HD appear in piles.

Well, the staff of group A have learned the special abilities of the "descendants" of another world line without any teachers. Congratulations, congratulations ～

incidentally, some games on the other world line can be set with 16bit and 32bit. The former has better fluency, but 8bit is not Because at that time, if the game was changed to 8 bit, the picture would be very heavyThe reason why not only the game can be shrunk, but also the video of group a can be shrunk is that they have their own standards, so when the video is reduced to 256 colors, the picture can still pass.

According to this algorithm, a group smoothly let 1m network, also can obtain the good video stream experience.

- of course, the best way to experience is to download the game material package with the pre installed live broadcast software, and then get the best experience through the way similar to in-game video recording. In theory, this way is the best way, because there will be no loss of pictures, because these videos are actually "instructions" and "instructions" sent from the network "Information", the picture of the video, actually depends on the game settings adjusted by the players themselves.

Of course, this mode also has defects, that is, it can only broadcast "official content". If the game needs mod and so on, it is not supported. Only the real and real live broadcast can reproduce the effect of the live broadcast.

well, make complaints about subtitles, but there are no subtitles, only the tucking box on the right side of the picture.

"This is live?"

The time for the game to go on sale is actually approaching now.

After finding out that the time was almost the same, senxia took Alice to watch the live broadcast.

There are two live, one is the in-game video played by dc-p.

On the other hand, the video stream is live on the computer.

On both computers, Isaac's program is playing at the same time.

The live broadcast is a anchor named "beaver head man".

This guy was at the top of the list of Isaac's ladders at the time of the beta.

At that time, the game also had a round of playing tests. According to the official vote at that time, this ID was the anchor of the beaver, which was one of the most popular anchors of the game.

Moreover, compared with the spirit of darkness and other games, Isaac's combination is obviously more durable.

Because the game of the soul of darkness is very difficult, but after playing for a period of time, the content is repeated, and there is no meaning.

On the contrary, games like this can continuously have new experiences, because each game will have a different experience.

Sometimes, the player goes with the wind and the water, and can get the best treasures in the game, such as sacred heart and divinity, so as to crush the game.

Sometimes, players can get some kind of car or dead sea scrolls with uncertain effects, so that what happens next second in the game becomes an interesting scene.

At other times, players will find that there are negative treasures that can't be taken along the way, so that they can suffer all the way to the end.

"Is this a new game?"

At this time, xuenai came with her real pupil.

She also had a tray in her hand.

On the tray were two cups of green tea and a pile of dumplings.

"Well." Sonia nodded and said, "the new game just started."

"Player feedback is good." At this time, Alice has been looking at the feedback from the chat box next to her.

Many players feedback that this live broadcast can let people know whether the content of the game is fun or not before playing the game.

"But some people worry that many people won't play games after watching the video..."

Alice found that some people were worried that after watching the video, they would not play games.

Although it is a study, but in fact this place is quite big, after four people came in, it is not very crowded.

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Even if there is no video, people who don't buy Games will not buy games because they will go to video customs clearance." "And those who didn't know about the game might buy it after watching the game. Moreover, this mode will be very effective in improving the reputation of the game."

"Well You're right to say that. "

Many video customs clearance people, if there is no video, they are likely not to play the game, which has many reasons.

Some people are dizzy when playing games, but watching videos is OK. Some people are hand handicapped party, and they can't play the game at all. But watching others play is very enjoyable. Some people are passing soy sauce party. They just come in to watch the talk show and mentally retarded operation of the anchor, but they have no interest in the game itself.

These people themselves have no passion for games.

"What about games like GALGAME?" Alice asked again.

"That kind of game belongs to the pure watch live broadcast is inferior to own play type." "We've done research and found that, compared with RPG or action games like this, players are more likely to play text games themselves," senxia explained. And the interactive, or easy to embarrass the game, players tend to watch others play

"And don't you think it's NTR like watching someone else play GALGAME?""Well, it feels good. I think it's better to play. If there is a game of strategy darling, it will be better."

"Er -" senxia turned a white eye at Alice.

This guy sometimes is so unreliable.

"Although ugly, but somehow I feel some lovely ah..." True pupil was not interested in the game, but when she heard it make complaints about it, she looked at the screen.

What to say, the picture of this bald "Isaac", even there is a very good feeling.

Although the whole picture has a strange atmosphere, Isaac, as the main character, at this moment, even has a sense of ugly cute ugly.

"The game is called Isaac's Union." "Senxia introduced the game to Zhentong," a very interesting game, do you want to try it? "

The reflex nerve of real pupil is very good. It is the top level of normal people Well, the super standard of Lihua is not counted, and the president has no high positive comments on the game.

"Ah? Can I? " Asked the pupil curiously.

"Ah, of course, no problem. I'll see..." There are three computers on senxia's side, because they are not only for data reference, but also for some tests, and more people at home, so one computer is not enough.

He opened another computer and then landed on the secret silver platform.

"Well, dc-p is actually better, but I have only one dc-p here, but it doesn't work well with computers."

The combination of Isaac is a multi platform game Well, PS2 is discriminated against daily because it does not support mod and DLC.

The icon of the game is on the desktop, so the real pupil click on, and then go into the game.

"I'll try it too!" Alice immediately offered to try it.

"That computer, turn on it yourself." Senxia pointed to another computer next to it.

Then he noticed that Alice was looking at herself with a grudge.

Well, she and real pupil, the treatment of the two people, is really different.

When Alice also played games, there were only two left here: senxia and snow.

"Why are the pictures the same here?" Snow noticed that the images of both were the same, and before senxia, he used to pause the pictures and synchronize the two images.

"You don't see the difference?" "Senxia laughed.

"Well Feel the dc-p picture clearer? " The snow is a crooked head.

"Well, that's almost the case, but what about watching?"

"It's all right. There is a gap, but it's not a big look. "

"Ah, that means we have succeeded." "If we can live successfully, it means that we are very successful now, and that's what I need," Sen said with a smile

If the live broadcast can succeed, Sen Xia feels that it is time to prepare the online video platform at this time and perhaps.

Just as it happens, the plans for the future of the initial sound can start.

Well NicoNico can do anything Well, we can be a mikumiku ~

br > the development of mud boom network is much faster than that of an oriental country. However, the activity of mud detonation network is not as good as that of an oriental country. But senxia thinks that we may be able to make a difference.

Of course, don't think about what the screen is. This year, we really need to live the screen, even if it is not immediately possible to explode the computer.

In 2001, the rapid development of mud detonation network is in full swing. The network speed will soon be no problem, the problem is hardware.

"Well Maybe we can work with the manufacturer? " The software suck up, then... What about hardware decoding?

Senxia gazes at the picture on the computer, and then ponders the strategy of the next step in her heart.

……

By the way, I want to know what 256 color video is, so it's good to recall a lot of GIF pictures, because many of them are 256 colors or 16 colors. But the effect of original and forced reduction of painting quality is different.

Two in one meow ~
