Tokyo Gentleman Story

These years, it is impossible to engage in streaming media with the performance of the computer at home.

Although in this era, there are already streaming online video, but this and live broadcast are two concepts.

In fact, this year, the biggest obstacle to watching live broadcasts is not the bandwidth issue, but this year’s

However, Morinya took the second place and adopted another method, which would not increase the burden on the broadcaster's computer at all.

To put it simply, Senxia’s method is this: the player’s own machine will not have any video information, but will send instructions to the official platform, which is the same as in Warcraft 3 or other similar games. "Audience viewing" is the same.

The "audience" at the other end is really responsible for broadcasting this part of the content, but this audience is rather special and this is the official platform. What the audience saw was not the player's computer itself, but the official computer.

Morinia has tried webcasting before, and this method is also currently explored by the official.

And there is a reason why I used this game, because this is very enjoyable, and people who play well can be anxious and let people play in person; if you play well, you can feel that you can also be chic.

And more importantly, even if you watch the live broadcast, the combination of Isaac is not tiresome-because every game is a brand new experience.

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

256 colors are eight-bit colors, while sixteen-bit enhanced colors are 65536 colors. As for true color twenty-four-bit, that is 16,777,216 colors. The requirements for graphics cards and bandwidth are very large.

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

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

This method is a compression algorithm that A company thought of after a long time of research.

At the beginning, A company considered the extent to which the video bit rate should be reduced. However, there is a difficulty in doing so. When the video bit rate drops, the picture will be prone to flickering, and if the resolution is reduced, it will cause The picture is illegible.

The video bit rate is roughly the resolution × quality × number of frames, then divide by 1024 and add the audio bit rate.

720P resolution, while maintaining a certain quality, if the bandwidth is 2M (that is, 256KB) download speed, it can basically be viewed.

But here is the problem.

Because 2M...this is already the "highly equipped" Internet of this era.

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

However, A company generally believes that Morinia's idea is not wrong.

According to the research conducted by Agency A, they found that the network speed of Nihong is increasing rapidly, and the Internet is being built vigorously everywhere, so it is necessary to seize the opportunity.

Therefore, they thought of the level of retreat and occupy the Mao Keng before speaking.

But fortunately, most of the games of this year support eight-bit color display-including games like StarCraft.

Moreover, DC-P also has its own unified color table. When developing games and porting games, the colors of game manufacturers need to comply with this specification, so this reduction is acceptable.

In fact, on DC-P, some games in order to maintain a high frame rate, in some scenes, the color will be reduced from the original 24-bit color to 16-bit color, or 8-bit color, and The resolution will also drop significantly.

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

Morinia sometimes does this kind of optimization here.

For example, during the moon setting, the game screen will be reduced, and then expanded to full frame through interpolation... Well, this is the same as the forced interpolation of the XBOX on another world line with reduced image quality. On XBOX, there are many games called "Full HD", but in fact, these games are forced to stretch and interpolate with low resolution, which are fake HD. And they also made a bad start, that is, letting such fake high-definition appear in piles, which is really the initiator.

Well, the employees of Company A have learned the special abilities of the "offspring" of another world line without a teacher. It is gratifying and gratifying~

By the way, some games on the other world line can be set to 16bit and 32bit. The former has better fluency, but 8bit is basically not...Because the games of that era, if you change to 8bit, many pictures will be bad. weight……

The reason why not only games can be reduced, but also videos can be reduced by A company is because it has its own specifications, so when the video is reduced to 256 colors, the picture is still acceptable.

According to this algorithm, A company can smoothly let the 1M network also get a good video streaming experience.

——Of course, the best way to experience is to use the pre-installed live broadcast software, download the game material package, and then get the best experience through a method similar to in-game video. In theory, this method is the best. Because there will never be any loss in the picture, because these videos, sent from the Internet, are actually "instructions" and "information" one by one. The video picture actually depends on the game settings adjusted by the player.

Of course, this model also has its drawbacks, that is, only "official content" can be broadcast live. If the game has MOD and other requirements, it is not supported. Only the real live broadcast on this machine can reproduce the effects of the broadcaster himself.

Well, it would be great if there were more subtitles, but now there are no subtitles, only the Tucao box on the right side of the screen.

"This is the live broadcast?"

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

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

There are two live broadcasts, one is the in-game video played by DC-P.

The other live broadcast is performed on the computer using video streams.

On the two computers, Isaac's program was being played at the same time.

The live broadcast was an anchor named "Titou Man".

This dear friend was the first place in the Isaac Ladder rankings when the version was tested.

At that time, the game had also undergone a round of playback tests. According to the official vote at that time, this ID was the anchor of the raccoon dog and was one of the most popular anchors of the game.

Moreover, compared with dark souls and other games, the durability of Isaac's combination is obviously higher.

Because the game of Dark Souls is very difficult, but after playing for a period of time, the content is repeated and it is meaningless.

On the contrary, games like this can continue to have new experiences, because every game will have a completely different experience.

Sometimes, the player can get the best treasures in the game, Sacred Heart, Divinity, and the like, so that they can crush the game.

Sometimes, players can get a very uncertain car or Dead Sea Scrolls, so that what happens in the next second of the game becomes an unclear and interesting scene.

Sometimes, players will find negative treasures that they can't get along the way, and suffer all the way to the end.

"Is this a new game?"

At this moment, Yukino also walked over with True Eye.

She also had a tray in her hand.

On the tray are two cups of green tea and a stack of dumplings.

"Yeah." Senxia nodded, and then said, "The new game just started."

"The player feedback is not bad." At this time, Alice has been watching the feedback in the chat box next to her.

Many players have feedback that this form of live broadcast allows people to know whether the content of the game is fun or not before playing the game.

"But there are also concerns that many people will not play games after watching the video..."

Alice found that some people were worried that after someone watched the video, they would stop playing games.

Although it is a study room, this place is actually quite big. After four people came in, it was not very crowded.

"Ah, don't worry about it. People who don't buy games because they will go to video clearance, even if they don't have videos, they won't buy games." Morixia said, "And those who didn't know the game, watched After the game, maybe they will buy it instead, and this mode will also have a miraculous effect on improving the reputation of the game."

"Um... you are right to say that."

Many people who pass the video pass, if there is no video, they will probably not play the game themselves. There are many reasons for this.

Some people feel dizzy as soon as they play the game, but watching the video is okay. Some people are handicapped and can’t play the game at all, but watching others play is very enjoyable. Others are passing soy sauce parties and just come in. I watched the host’s talk show and mentally handicapped operations, but I have no interest in the game itself.

These people themselves have no passion for games.

"What about that story-oriented game, for example?" Alice asked again.

"That type of game is a type that purely watching live broadcasts is not as good as playing by yourself." Morixia explained, "We have done research. Compared with this type of RPG or action games, players are more inclined to play text games by themselves. For games that are highly interactive or easily embarrassed, players tend to watch others play."

"And don't you think that watching others play, you have a feeling of being NTR?"

"Hey, it feels good. I think it can be played. If there is a Darling game, it would be even better."

"Uh—" Morinya rolled her eyes at Alice.

This guy is so unreliable sometimes.

"Even though it's ugly, but inexplicably I think it's a bit cute..." Zhentong was not very interested in watching games at first, but after hearing that she had been complaining here, she also looked at the screen.

How should I put it, the bald-headed "Isaac" on the screen really has a very good feeling.

Although the whole picture has a weird atmosphere, as the protagonist, Isaac, at this moment, also feels ugly and cute.

"This game is called the Combination of Isaac." Morika introduced this game to Zhen Hitomi. "It's a very interesting game. Would you like to try it?"

True pupil's reflex nerves are very good, which is considered to be the TOP level of normal people...Well, Lihua's over-specs is not counted, and the president of the game is really not very positive about the game.

"Huh? Is it okay?" Zhentong asked curiously.

"Ah, of course it's okay, let me see..." Morinia has three computers here, because these computers are not only for checking data, some also need to be tested, and there are many people in the family. A computer is not enough.

He turned on another computer, and then logged on to the Mithril platform.

"Well, the effect of DC-P is actually better, but I only have one DC-P here, but using a computer to play, the effect is not bad."

The Combination of Isaac is a multi-platform game... Well, PS2 is discriminated daily because it does not support MOD and DLC.

The icon of the game is on the desktop, so click on the real pupil and enter the game.

"I want to try it too!" Alice immediately offered to try it.

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

Then he noticed that Alice was looking at herself with resentment.

Well, the treatment of her and Zhen Hitomi is really completely different.

When Alice went to play games, there were only Morinka and Yukino left.

"Why are the pictures here the same?" Yukino noticed that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the pictures of both are the same. Before Morinka, he used pause to let the pictures of both proceed in sync.

"Don't you see the difference?" Senxia smiled.

"Um... I feel that the DC-P picture is clearer, right?" Xueno tilted his head.

"Well, that's about it, but what about the viewing experience?"

"It's all okay. Although there is a gap, it's not that big."

"Ah, that means we succeeded." Morinia said with a light smile, "If the live broadcast is successful, it means that we are very successful now. This is exactly what I need."

If the live broadcast can be successful, Senxia feels that at this moment, maybe it is time to start preparing an online video platform.

It just so happens that Hatsune Miku's plan can take the lead.

Hmm...maybe it can be...well, let's be a mikumiku~

The network development of the mud bomb is much faster than that of a certain eastern country, but the activity of the mud bomb network is unexpectedly inferior to that of a certain eastern country, but Senxia feels that he might be able to toss a bit.

Of course, don't think about barrage or anything. These days, you really want to engage in barrage live broadcast, and I'm afraid that the computer will explode right away.

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

"Um...maybe we can cooperate with the manufacturer?" The software is not strong, so... what about hardware decoding?

Morinya stared at the screen on the computer, and then thought about the next strategy in her heart.

...

By the way, if you want to know what a 256-color video is like, just remember a lot of gif pictures, because many pictures are 256-color or 16-color. But the effects of native and forced image quality reduction are different.

Two-in-one meow meow~
