Podcasts about NTSC

On this week's show we take a look back at the transition from black and white to color and compare it to the transition to HDTV. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Roku's smart home strategy is making its streaming devices harder to ignore Sonos Strikes a Surprising Deal with Yamaha Masimo to Sell Consumer Audio Business to HARMAN International Other: Robert's Forever Home Theater Has the Best Universal Remote Got Better? - Remote 3 Google AI Reimagines Wizard of Oz for the Las Vegas Sphere!

At last the long awaited Xbox 360 Hypervisor exploit shown by Grimdoomer has arrived in the form of Bad Update! This means that unsigned code can be run on any Xbox 360 up to Kernel/Dashboard 17559 using only a USB drive and the NTSC version of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. This does not require any other modifications to be done to the hardware and can be performed on an unopened and unmodified console, making this the first software-only exploit available for the latest system software version! As this episode will only be focused on Bad Update, we walk through where this started from Tony Hawk's Pro Strcpy, read through a couple of blog posts Grimdoomer made leading up to the release, and of course we set up and try Bad Update for ourselves before giving some final thoughts.

Ha sido un año muy especial para Loro Parque Fundación: hemos cumplido 30 años protegiendo a los animales y sus hábitats. Tres décadas de trabajo que han logrado el mejor de los premios: hoy siguen en el mundo 12 especies de loros que, sin nuestra intervención, y la red de colaboración internacional que desarrollamos, ya no existirían. Hasta ahora hemos puesto en marcha más 276 proyectos de conservación en todo el mundo y hemos invertido más de 29 millones de euros. El santuario de la Macaronesia sigue avanzando. En julio los rectores de las universidades de la región firmaron el manifiesto de la Fundación en favor de la creación de esta Área Marina Protegida. Esta iniciativa pretende defender a la biodiversidad marina, especialmente a los cetáceos, de las múltiples amenazas a las que se enfrentan en este territorio, y no solo las actuales, sino las que pueden surgir en un futuro. Asimismo, pusimos en marcha la exposición itinerante de cetáceos de la Macaronesia. Un espectacular exposición de cetáceos a tamaño real que recorre todos los puntos del archipiélago recibiendo a numerosos grupos escolares y público en general. La iniciativa, que cuenta con la colaboración de la Fundación La Caixa a través de Caixa Bank, pretende sensibilizar a la población sobre la gran riqueza de cetáceos que tenemos en nuestro archipiélago y sumar apoyos para dos de nuestras grandes iniciativas: La creación de un Área Marina Protegida en la Macaronesia y la moratoria del uso del sonar militar en la Macaronesia. Asimismo, celebramos dos cenas benéficas para recaudar fondos para financiar programas de protección de la biodiversidad. La primera, celebrada en Poema del Mar, sirvió para recaudar más de 21.000 para financiar los proyectos Eurosync e Hippo-DEC, dedicados al estudio y la conservación de Caballitos de Mar y Pejepipas, incluidos en el listado español de especies silvestres con protección especial. En septiembre, se celebró otra gran cena de gala para celebrar el 30 aniversario de la entidad en el Hotel Botánico, donse conmemeoró la trayectoria de la ONG y se recaudaron fondos para financiar los 80 proyectos activos que tiene la entidad este año. Además, junto con el Centro Para la Supervivencia de Especies de la Macaronesia, celebramos un evento especial en el Día Mundial de la Biodiversidad, en el que 14 miembros de la Asociación Ibérica de Zoos y Acuarios asumieron 54 compromisos con especies en peligro de extinción en el territorio español; 39 de ellos serán desarrollados por Loro Parque y Poema del Mar. - La Hora de Beatriz Cabañas con Rosana Brancato. - Entrevista en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital radio con el primer presidente de Canarias; Alfonso Soriano Benitez de Lugo.

The RG ARC-D will dual-boot into Android and Linux OS, while the RG ARC-S will only offer Linux.  https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/11/anbernics-usd70-rg-arc-handheld-looks-like-a-sega-saturn-pad  Eric - SPGP Super Polygon Grand Prix on Steam  https://store.steampowered.com/app/2459860/SPGP_Super_Polygon_Grand_Prix/  Cody - https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/11/dangan-gb-2-is-an-awesome-bullet-hell-made-for-the-game-boy-colors-25th-anniversary  Tim – New preview video has just dropped for Sarah Jane Avory - Briley Witch Chronicles 2, a new RPG coming soon for the Commodore 64, PAL and NTSC.  Briley Witch Chronicles 2 is based on books 5 and 6 of the Briley Witch novels: The Fallen Witch, and Grey Waters.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sez0cDhkCRc  Cody- https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/10/unreleased-snes-platformer-mr-tuff-finally-goes-on-sale-28-years-later  Eric - One of the best shoot 'em ups ever just arrived on Steam | Rock Paper Shotgun  https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/one-of-the-best-shoot-em-ups-ever-just-arrived-on-steam  Cody - https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/11/indie-action-puzzler-petal-crash-is-getting-a-new-port-for-the-neo-geo  Eric – One step forward, two back – Atari Jacket for NFT owners only...  https://decrypt.co/203986/atari-revives-retro-members-only-jackets-nft-collectors  Cody – More Atari Madness - https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/10/atari-is-buying-digital-eclipse  Cody - https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/11/dark-chambers-joins-the-atari-xp-line-just-in-time-for-the-2600plus  Cody - https://retrododo.com/zelda-movie/  Eric – Super Mario RPG is out this month!

*El Acceso Anticipado para fans termina este viernes (madrugada de jueves a viernes) a las 00:00 horas (horario peninsular español). Hoy en día, casi todos los juegos se lanzan de forma simultánea en todo el mundo. Pero antes no era así. Y no solo eso, pues muchos directamente se quedaban en territorio japonés y/o en USA. Sí, también existen juegos que se perdieron ellos (algún día hablaremos de eso), pero lo cierto es que nosotros tuvimos que quedarnos sin algunas auténticas joyas. En este episodio, tal y como hicimos ya en una de nuestras etapas anteriores, hablamos de grandes juegos que no llegaron a Europa. Pero para este "remake", cambiamos el planteamiento. De entrada, no solo os contamos qué juego nos dolió más perdernos en la propia época, tirando de recuerdos, sino que además debatimos sobre el tema y algunas cuestiones derivadas. ¿Eran más bonitos los formatos NTSC? ¿Qué diferencias había entre los juegos que sí llegaban a todos los territorios? ¿Salíamos siempre perdiendo? Todo eso y mucho más, lo hablamos a fondo. De todas formas, la gran salsa del episodio llega después. Con un formato que bien conocéis de otros programas como los GOTY, el de Dormilones o los volúmenes de grandes juegos de un género o consola. En resumen, cada colaborador ha escogido un título que no llegó en su día a nuestro continente. Y con la música como gran acompañante, el colaborador hace una exposición profunda del mismo. Tanto desde el punto de vista del momento en que salió, como desde el punto de vista del interés que puede generar ese juego hoy en día. De hecho, algunos acabaron llegando aquí tiempo después. En esta ocasión, debido al propio formato, no ha habido audios de los oyentes. Pero, como siempre, volverán para próximos episodios. Por supuesto, seguiremos montando iniciativas para los oyentes, como las Retrofórmulas VIP o los Clubs de juego, pero recordad que también podéis enviar audios sobre lo que queráis: temas anteriores que hemos comentado, preguntas, inquietudes etc. Por eso, os recordamos que tenemos un grupo de Telegram abierto a todos los oyentes. No tenéis más que instalar el programa y acceder a través de este enlace: https://t.me/joinchat/LZ01hh0YoYzWJJLAGeSBww (también puedes buscarnos directamente en la App). A través de él, podréis no solo formar parte de una gran familia retro, sino que también podréis participar de forma directa en el programa. Y recordad también que MC ya forma parte del programa Ivoox Fans.

Apple Interactive Television Box (1994) Before Apple TV, there was "The Apple Interactive Television Box", or ITV, also internally identified as STB (set-top box). Learn more about it, and check the photos and vid of ours (we have one!) ... Wikipedia - The Apple Interactive Television Box (AITB) is a television set-top box developed by Apple Computer in partnership with a number of global telecommunications firms, including British Telecom and Belgacom. Prototypes of the unit were deployed at large test markets in parts of the United States and Europe in 1994 and 1995, but the product was canceled shortly thereafter, and was never mass-produced or marketed. The Apple Interactive Television Box is based upon the Macintosh Quadra 605 or LC 475. Because the box was never marketed, not all specifications have been stated by Apple. It supports MPEG-2 Transport containing ISO11172 (MPEG-1) bit streams, Apple Desktop Bus, RF in and out, S-Video out, RCA audiovideo out, RJ-45 connector for either E1 data stream on PAL devices or T1 data stream on NTSC devices, serial port, and HDI-30 SCSI.[2] Apple intended to offer the AITB with a matching black ADB mouse, keyboard, Apple 300e CD-ROM drive, StyleWriter printer, and one of several styles of remote controls. The hard drive contains parts of a regular North American Mac OS 7.1.1 with Finder, several sockets for network connection protocols, and customized MPEG1 decoding components for the QuickTime Player software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Interactive_Television_Box https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Apple_Interactive_Television_Box https://pippin.fandom.com/wiki/Apple_Interactive_Television_Box #MARCHintosh Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ ----------------------------------------- #adafruit #apple

This week we take a look at what is next for the ATSC 3.0 transition and why we think it will not be as smooth as the ATSC 1.0 transition. We also read your email and take a look at the week's news.  News: Hisense TVOS VIDAA Launches FAST, Calls Out Roku Peacock Rolls Out Live Interactive Companion “Watch With” Feature Netflix's new account-sharing rules punish students for being students KEF Launches Latest-Generation R Series Speakers What's Next for the ATSC 3.0 Transition? Up until last week, all of the major parties involved in the transition from ATSC 1.0 to 3.0 appeared to be on the same page. Advocates touted the continuing progress in deployments, pointing to the fact that more than 60% of American TV households are capable of receiving NextGen TV. Although CES came and went with little news about NextGen TV, four of the world's largest manufacturers now offer sets with 3.0 tuners with Sony making them available across its entire TV line. Full Article Here… More Support Needed NAB wants the FCC to promote ATSC 3.0 more prominently.  NAB's highest priority request is that the FCC announce a cutoff similar to what it did with the ATSC 1.0 switchover.  ATSC 3.0 was announced in 2017. A More Competitive Market Touting the advantages of a standard that combines the flexibility of IP with far more efficient use of spectrum, the broadcasters told the commission that the deployment of 3.0 will help the industry better compete with streaming companies and similar Silicon Valley giants.  There were mandates in the early days of ATSC that required manufacturers to include ATSC 1.0 tuners in their products and to solve backward compatibility issues, ATSC converter boxes were available at no or little cost to consumers. There were no streaming companies in 2009 that could produce a picture anywhere near what could be had OTA. Now 4K is everywhere. This makes it hard for broadcasters to compete. Don't Expect a Mandate Today, support for a tuner mandate is practically non-existent. In the first transition, the CEA initially opposed the mandate but eventually manufacturers had to comply with FCC rules that were implemented in 2005. But that stipulation was also part of an agreement that set a hard deadline for the analog switch off. While NAB is pushing for such a deadline today, it has consistently supported a mostly market-driven approach for the transition to 3.0. With both the NAB and CEA are opposed to a mandate, what compels TV manufacturers to include ATSC 3.0 when consumers are not asking for them?  TV sets that support NextGen TV represented only 8% of overall TV set sales in the U.S. in 2022 and CTA predicts that almost 5 million will ship to dealers in 2023, representing 12% of the total. It expects that share to hit 50% by 2025. These are mostly high end models. Sony is the only manufacturer that will include NextGen TV tuners on all their models. CTA believes set sales will accelerate, but that broadcasters have to make a purchase more compelling by offering more than what they're providing now. We have a classic chicken or egg situation here. People are holding on to their TV sets much longer and those who have ATSC 1.0 TVs do not find the same compelling reason to switch over like the need to go from NTSC to ATSC. Realistically if you bought a high end 4K TV three years ago, you may not need to upgrade it for another ten years. The pool of potential upgraders is much smaller than in 2009. What it Means for Broadcasters Using 3.0 as a "data pipe" has been promoted as perhaps the “killer app” that will allow broadcasters to offer enterprise-level services such as software updates for anything from gaming systems to rental cars and providing live over the air streaming to vehicles and even playing a role in the slow but steady emergence of autonomous vehicles. ATSC 3.0 technology is also being used to provide internet to areas that might not have access to traditional broadband.

This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Assignments Editor Kristina Panos decided against using one of Kristina's tin can microphones to record the podcast, though that might be a cool optional thing to do once (and then probably never again). After a brief foray into the news that the Chaos Communications Congress will be decentralized once again this year, as COVID restrictions make planning this huge event a complete headache (among other notable symptoms), we discuss the news that the EU is demanding replaceable batteries in phones going forward. After that, it's time for another What's That Sound results show, and despite repeated listens, Kristina fails to guess the thing. Even if she'd had an inkling as to what it was, she probably would have said 'split-flap display' instead of the proper answer, which is 'flip-dot display', as a few people responded. Finally, it's on to the hacks, where we talk about uses for ferrofluid and decide that it's one of those things that's just for fun and should not be applied to the world as some sort of all-purpose whacking device. Check out the links below if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

For our Atari Video Music machine mod, we want to add an S-Video output port. S-Video splits the signal from NTSC into chroma and luma, so the signal tends to be clearer and more stable. Thankfully, the chip in the AVM gives us the chroma and luma on separated pins, so we just have to wire them up to a standard S-Video connector. Let's see how we can find one that will perfectly fit on the AVM without any drilling or gluing!

We had been working on a lot of camera support for CircuitPython. We're getting back to that project now with an all-in-one DIY camera board with an OV5640 camera module and an ESP32-S2. You really do want PSRAM to buffer large images like 1440p JPEGs for saving to disk. One thing that we bumped into is that SD cards can be very finicky when initialized into SPI mode on a shared bus, but we found a way around it!

Just when we'd started to wrap our heads around Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Sony announced they'd bought Bungie (maker of Destiny and Halo) for $3.6 billion.  Considering the massive wheeling and dealing that's being done in the video game industry as of late, $3.6 billion almost seems like chump change. However, this purchase will inevitably have far-reaching effects on the world of gaming. Why did Sony really buy Bungie, and what does this mean going forward?We'll also be discussing PlayStation's plans to launch "more than 10" live service games by the year 2026, Blizzard's newly announced survival game IP for PC and consoles, the upcoming TV and film adaptation of the 2021 GOTY "It Takes Two", and the New York Times' purchase of mobile game mega-hit Wordle.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at why a decision made in the 1800s led to the creation of PAL and NTSC.This episode has been proudly sponsored by the Retro Game Club Podcast!

E04: In this episode, The Video Insider's catch up with industry expert, Tim Siglin, to discuss HEVC implementation trends that counter previous assumptions, notable 2018 streaming events, and what's coming in 2019. The following blog post first appeared on the Beamr blog at: https://blog.beamr.com/2019/01/01/2018-the-year-hevc-took-flight/ By now, most of us have seen the data and know that online video consumption is soaring at a rate that is historically unrivaled. It's no surprise that in the crux of the streaming era, so many companies are looking to innovate and figure out how to make their workflows or customers workflows better, less expensive, and faster. In Episode 4 of The Video Insiders, we caught up with streaming veteran Tim Siglin to discuss HEVC implementation trends that counter previous assumptions, notable 2018 streaming events, and what's coming in 2019. Tune in to hear The Video Insiders cover top-of-mind topics: HEVC for lower resolutions Streaming the World Cup Moving from digital broadcast to IP-based infrastructure What consumers aren't thinking about when it comes to 4K and HDR Looking forward into 2019 & beyond Tune in to Episode 04: 2018, the Year HEVC Took Flight or watch the video below. Want to join the conversation? Reach out to TheVideoInsiders@beamr.com TRANSCRIPTION (lightly edited to improve readability only) Mark Donnigan: 00:00 On today's episode, the Video Insiders sit down with an industry luminary who shares results of a codec implementation study, while discussing notable streaming events that took place in 2018 and what's on the horizon for 2019. Stay tuned. You don't want to miss receiving the inside scoop on all this and more. Announcer: 00:22 The Video Insiders is the show that makes sense of all that is happening in the world of online video, as seen through the eyes of a second generation Kodak nerd and a marketing guy who knows what I frames and macroblocks are. Here are your hosts, Mark Donnigan and Dror Gill. Mark Donnigan: 00:40 Welcome, everyone. I am Mark Donnigan, and I want to say how honored Dror and I are to have you with us. Before I introduce this very special guest and episode, I want to give a shout of thanks for all of the support that we're receiving. It's really been amazing. Dror Gill: 00:58 Yeah. Yeah, it's been awesome. Mark Donnigan: 00:59 In the first 48 hours, we received 180 downloads. It's pretty amazing. Dror Gill: 01:06 Yeah. Yeah, it is. The industry is not that large, and I think it's really an amazing number that they're already listening to the show from the start before the word of mouth starts coming out, and people spread the news and things like that. We really appreciate it. So, if it's you that is listening, thank you very much. Mark Donnigan: 01:29 We really do aim for this to be an agenda-free zone. I guess we can put it that way. Obviously, this show is sponsored by Beamr, and we have a certain point of view on things, but the point is, we observed there wasn't a good place to find out what's going on in the industry and sort of get unbiased, or maybe it's better to say unfiltered, information. That's what we aim to do in every episode. Mark Donnigan: 01:57 In this one, we're going to do just that. We have someone who you can definitely trust to know what's really happening in the streaming video space, and I know he has some juicy insights to share with us. So, without further ado, let's bring on Tim Siglin. Tim Siglin: 02:15 Hey, guys. Thank you for having me today and I will definitely try to be either as unfiltered or unbiased as possible. Mark Donnigan: 02:21 Why don't you give us a highlight reel, so to speak, of what you've done in the industry and, even more specifically, what are you working on today? Tim Siglin: 02:31 Sure. I have been in streaming now for a little over 20 years. In fact, when Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen came on as the editor at StreamingMedia.com, he said, “You seemed to be one of the few people who were there in the early days.” It's true. I actually had the honor of writing the 10-year anniversary of Streaming Media articles for the magazine, and then did the 20-year last year. Tim Siglin: 02:57 My background was Motion Picture production and then I got into video conferencing. As part of video conferencing, we were trying to figure out how to include hundreds of people in a video conference, but not need necessarily have them have two-way feedback. That's where streaming sort of caught my eye, because, ultimately, for video conferencing we maybe needed 10 subject matter experts who would talk back and forth, and together a hundred, then it went to thousands, and now hundreds of thousands. You can listen in and use something like chat or polling to provide feedback. Tim Siglin: 03:31 For me, the industry went from the early revolutionary days of “Hey, let's change everything. Let's get rid of TV. Let's do broadcast across IP.” That was the mantra in the early days. Now, of course, where we are is sort of, I would say, two-thirds of the way there, and we can talk a little bit about that later. The reality is that the old mediums are actually morphing to allow themselves to do heap, which is good, to compete with over the top. Tim Siglin: 04:01 Ultimately, what I think we'll find, especially when we get to pure IP broadcast with ATSC 3.0 and some other things for over-the-air, is that we will have more mediums to consume on rather than fewer. I remember the early format ways and of course we're going to talk some in this episode about some of the newer codec like HEVC. Ultimately, it seems like the industry goes through the cycles of player wars, format wars, browser wars, operating system wars, and we hit brief periods of stability which we've done with AVC or H.264 over the last probably eight years. Tim Siglin: 04:46 Then somebody wants to stir the pot, figure out how to either do it better, less expensively, faster. We go back into a cycle of trying to decide what the next big thing will be. In terms of what I'm working on now, because I've been in the industry for almost 21 years. Last year, I helped start a not-for-profit called Help Me Stream, which focuses on working with NGOs in emerging economies, trying to help them actually get into the streaming game to get their critical messages out. Tim Siglin: 05:18 That might be emerging economies like African economies, South America, and just the idea that we in the first world have streaming down cold, but there are a lot of messages that need to get out in emerging economies and emerging markets that they don't necessarily have the expertise to do. My work is to tie experts here with need there and figure out which technologies and services would be the most appropriate and most cost effective. Mark Donnigan: 05:46 That's fascinating, Tim. Tim Siglin: 05:48 The other thing I'm working on here, just briefly, is we're getting ready for the Streaming Media Sourcebook, the 2019 sourcebook. I'm having to step back for the next 15 days, take a really wide look at the industry and figure out what the state of affairs are. Dror Gill: 06:06 That's wonderful. I think because this is exactly the right point, is one you end and the other one begins, kind of to summarize where we've been in 2018, what is the state of the industry and the fact that you're doing that for the sourcebook, I think, ties in very nicely with our desire to hear from you an overview of what were the major milestones or advancements that were made in the streaming industry in 2018, and then looking into next year. Dror Gill: 06:39 Obviously, the move to IP, getting stronger and stronger, now the third phase after analog and digital, now we have broadcast over IP. It's interesting what you said about broadcasters not giving up the first with the pure OTT content providers. They have a huge business. They need to keep their subscribers and lower their churn and keep people from cutting the cord, so to speak. Dror Gill: 07:04 The telcos and the cable companies still need to provide the infrastructure for Internet on top of which the over-the-top providers and their content, but they still need to have more offering and television and VLD content in order to keep their subscribers. It's very interesting to hear how they're doing it and how they are upgrading themselves to the era of IP. Tim Siglin: 07:30 I think, Dror, you hit a really major point, which is we, the heavy lift … I just finished an article in ATSC 3.0 where I talk about using 2019 to prepare for 2020 when that will go live in the U.S. The heavy lift was the analog to digital conversion. The slightly easier lift is the conversion from digital to IP, but it still requires significant infrastructure upgrade and even transmission equipment to be able to do it correctly for the over-the-year broadcasters and cable. Dror Gill: 08:07 That's right. I think on the other hand, there is one big advantage to broadcast, even broadcast over-the-air. That is the ability to actually broadcast, the ability to reach millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people over a single channel that everybody is receiving. Whereas, because of historic reasons and legacy reasons in IP, we are limited, still, when you broadcast to the end user to doing everything over unicast. When you do this, it creates a tremendous load on your network. You need to manage your CDNs. Dror Gill: 08:46 I think we've witnessed in 2018 on one hand very large events being streamed to our record audience. But, on the other hand, some of them really failed in terms of user experience. It wasn't what they expected because of the high volume of users, and because more and more people have discovered the ability to stream things over IP to their televisions and mobile devices. Can you share with us some of the experience that you have, some of the things that you're hearing about in terms of these big events where they had failures and what were the reasons for those failures? Tim Siglin: 09:30 I want to reiterate the point you made on the OTA broadcast. It's almost as if you have read the advanced copy of my article, which I know you haven't because it's only gone to the editor. Dror Gill: 09:42 I don't have any inside information. I have to say, even though we are the Video Insiders. Mark Donnigan: 09:47 We are the Video Insiders. That's right. Dror Gill: 09:49 We are the Video Insiders, but … Mark Donnigan: 09:49 But no inside information here. Dror Gill: 09:51 No inside information. I did not steal that copy. Tim Siglin: 09:55 What I point out in that article, Dror, I think which will come out in January shortly after CES is basically this. We have done a good job in the streaming industry, the OTT space of pushing the traditional mediums to upgrade themselves. One of the things as you say with OTA, that ability to do essentially a multicast from a tower wirelessly is a really, really good thing, because to get us to scale, and I think about things like the World Cup, the Olympics and even the presidential funeral that's happened here in December, there are large-scale events that we in the OTT space just can't handle, if you're talking about having to build the capacity. Tim Siglin: 10:39 The irony is, one good ATSC transmission tower could hit as many people as we could handle essentially globally with the unicast (OTT) model. If you look at things like that and then you look at things like EMBMS in the mobile world, where there is that attempt to do essentially a multicast, and it goes to points like the World Cup. I think one of the horror stories in the World Cup was in Australia. There was a mobile provider named Optus who won the rights to actually do half of the World Cup preliminary games. In the first several days, they were so overwhelmed by the number of users who wanted to watch and were watching, as you say, in a unicast model that they ended up having to go back to the company they had bid against who had the other half of the preliminaries and ask them to carry those on traditional television. Tim Siglin: 11:41 The CEO admitted that it was such a spectacular failure that it damaged the brand of the mobile provider. Instead of the name Optus being used, everybody was referring to it as “Floptus.” You don't want your brand being known as the butt of jokes for an event that only happens once every four years that you have a number of devotees in your market. And heaven forbid, it had been the World Cup for cricket, there would have been riots in the street in Sydney and Melbourne. Thank goodness it was Australia with soccer as opposed to Australia with cricket. Tim Siglin: 12:18 It brings home the point that we talk about scale, but it's really hard to get to scale in a unicast environment. The other event, this one happened, I believe, in late 2017, was the Mayweather fight that was a large pay-per-view event that was streamed. It turned out the problem there wasn't as much the streams as it was the authentication servers were overwhelmed in the first five minutes of the fight. So, with authentication gone, it took down the ability to actually watch the stream. Tim Siglin: 12:53 For us, it's not just about the video portion of it, it's actually about the total ecosystem and who you're delivering to, whether you're going to force caps into place because you know you can't go beyond a certain capacity, or whether you're going to have to partner up with traditional media like cable service providers or over-the-air broadcasters. Mark Donnigan: 13:14 It's a really good point, Tim. In the World Cup, the coverage that I saw, it was more of, I'd almost say or use the phrase, dashed expectations. Consumers, they were able to watch it. In most cases, I think it played smoothly. In other words, the video was there, but HDR signaling didn't work or didn't work right. Then it looked odd on some televisions or … Tim Siglin: 13:40 In high frame rate … Tim Siglin: 13:43 20 frames a second instead of 60 frames a second. Mark Donnigan: 13:48 Exactly. What's interesting to me is that, what I see is, the consumer, they're not of course walking around thinking as we are, like frame rate and color space and resolution. They are getting increasingly sensitive to where they can look at video now and say, “That's good video,” or “That doesn't look right to me.” I know we were talking before we started recording about this latest Tom Cruise public service announcement, which is just super fascinating, because it … Tim Siglin: 14:24 To hear him say motion interpolation. Mark Donnigan: 14:26 Yeah. Maybe we should tell the audience, for those, since it literally just came out I think today, even. But you want to tell the audience what Tom Cruise is saying? Tim Siglin: 14:38 Essentially, Tom Cruise was on the set of Top Gun, as they're shooting Top Gun. Another gentleman did a brief PSA for about a minute asking people to turn off motion interpolation on their televisions, which motion interpolation essentially takes a 24-frame per second and converts it to 30 frames per second by adding phantom frames in the middle. Because Mission Impossible: Fallout is just being released for streaming, Cruise was concerned and obviously others were concerned that some of the scenes would not look nearly as good with motion interpolation turned on. Tim Siglin: 15:17 I think, Mark, we ought to go to a PSA model, asking for very particular things like, “How do you turn HDR on? How do you …” Those types of things, because those get attention in a way that you and I or a video engineer can't get that attention. Dror Gill: 15:33 How do you know if what you're getting is actually 4K or interpolate HD, for example? Tim Siglin: 15:38 Especially in our part of the industry, because we will call something OTT 4K streaming. That may mean that it fits in a 4K frame, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's that number of pixels being delivered. Dror Gill: 15:52 It can also mean that the top layer in your adaptive bit rate stream is 4K, but then if you don't have enough bandwidth, you're actually getting the HD layer or even lower. Tim Siglin: 16:01 Exactly. Dror Gill: 16:02 Even though it is a 4K broadcast and it is 4K content. Sometimes, you can be disappointed by that fact as well. Mark Donnigan: 16:11 I have to give a very, very funny story directly related, and this happened probably, I don't know, maybe, at least 18 months ago, maybe two years ago. I'm sitting on an airplane next to this guy. It's the usual five-minute, get acquainted before we both turn on our computers. Anyway, when someone asks, “What do you do?” I generally just say, “I work for a video software company,” because how do you explain digital encoding? Most people just sort of stop at that, and don't really ask more. Mark Donnigan: 16:44 But this guy is like, “Oh, really?” He said, “So, I just bought a 4K TV and I love it.” He was raving about his new Samsung TV. Of course, he figured I'm a video guy. I would appreciate that. I said, “Hey.” “So, you must subscribe to Netflix.” “Yes. Yes, of course,” he says. I said, “What do you think of the Netflix quality? It looks great, doesn't it?” Mark Donnigan: 17:10 He sort of hem and hawed. He's like, “Well, it really … I mean, yeah. Yeah, it looks great, but it's not quite … I'm just not sure.” Then, I said, “I'm going to ask you two questions. First of all, are you subscribed to the 4K plan?” He was. Then I said, “How fast is your Internet at home.” He's like, “I just have the minimum. I don't know. I think it's the 20 megabit package,” or whatever it was. I don't remember the numbers. Mark Donnigan: 17:38 I said, “There's this thing.” And I gave him like a 30-second primer on adaptive bit rate, and I said, “It is possible, I have no idea of your situation, that you might be watching the HD version.” Anyway, he's like, “Hah, that's interesting.” I connect with the guy on LinkedIn. Three days later, I get this message. He says, “I just upgraded my Internet. I now have 4K on my TV. It looks awesome.” Mark Donnigan: 18:04 On one hand, the whole situation was not surprising and, yet, how many thousands, tens of thousands, maybe millions of people are in the exact same boat? They've got this beautiful TV. It could be because they're running some low-end router in the house. It could be they truly have a low end bandwidth package. There could be a lot of reasons why they're not getting the bandwidth. They're so excited about their 4K TV. They're paying Netflix to get the top layer, the best quality, and they're not even seeing it. It's such a pity. Tim Siglin: 18:37 I had a TSA agent asked me that same question, Mark, when I came through customs. I'm like, “Sure. I'll stand here and answer that question for you.” The router was actually what I suggested that he upgrade, because he said his router was like this (old unit). Mark Donnigan: 18:53 In a lot of homes, it's a router that's 15 years old and it just isn't (up to the task). Tim Siglin: 18:58 But it brings out the point that even as we're talking about newer codecs and better quality, even if we get a lower sweet spot in terms of 4K content (streaming bandwidth), or as we found in the survey that we worked on together, that using HEVC for 1080p or 720p, if the routers, if the software in the chain is not updated, the delivery quality will suffer in a way that people who have a tuned television and seen the consistent quality aren't certain what to do to fix when they use an over-the-top service. Tim Siglin: 19:34 I think this is a key for 2019. As we prepare for ATSC 3.0 on over-the-air broadcast where people will be able to see pristine 4K, it will actually force those of us in the OTT space to up our game to make sure that we're figuring out how to deliver across these multiple steps in a process that we don't break. Dror Gill: 19:54 You really see ATSC 3.0 as a game-changer in 2019? Tim Siglin: 19:59 What I see it as is the response from the broadcast industry to, A) say that they're still relevant, which I think is a good political move. And, B) it provides the scale you were talking about, Dror. See, I think what it does is it at least puts us in the OTT space on notice that there will be in certain first world countries a really decent quality delivery free of charge with commercials over the air. Tim Siglin: 20:31 It takes me back to the early days of video compression when, if you had a good class-one engineer and an analog NTSC transmission system, they could give you really good quality if your TV was tuned correctly. It only meant having to tune your TV. It didn't mean having to tune your router or having to tune your cable modem, having to tune your settings on your TV. I think that's where the game-changer may be, is that those tuner cards, which will send HDR signaling and things like that with the actual transmission, are going to make it much easier for the consumer to consume quality in a free scenario. I think that part of it is a potential game-changer. Mark Donnigan: 21:19 That's interesting. Tim, we worked together earlier this year on a survey, an industry survey that I think it would be really, really interesting to listeners to talk about. Shall we pivot into that? Maybe you can share some of the findings there. Tim Siglin: 21:38 Why don't you take the lead on why Beamr wanted to do that? Then I'll follow up with some of the points that we got out of it. Mark Donnigan: 21:46 Obviously, we are a codec developer. It's important for us to always be addressing the market the way that the market wants to be addressed, meaning that we're developing technologies and solutions and standards that's going to be adopted. Clearly, there has been, especially if we rewind a year ago or even 18 months ago, AV1 was just recently launched. There were still questions about VP9. Mark Donnigan: 22:19 Obviously, H264 AVC is the standard, used everywhere. We felt, “Let's go out to the industry. Let's really find out what the attitudes are, what the thinking is, what's going on ‘behind closed doors' and find out what are people doing.” Are they building workflows for these new advanced codecs? How are they going to build those workflows? That was the impetus, if you will, for it. Mark Donnigan: 22:49 We are very happy, Tim, to work with you on that and of course Streaming Media assisted us with promoting it. That was the reason we did it. I know there were some findings that were pretty predictable, shall we say, no surprises, but there were some things that I think were maybe a little more surprising. So, maybe if you like to share some of those. Tim Siglin: 23:12 Yeah. I'll hit the highlights on that. Let me say too that one of the things that I really like about this particular survey, there was another survey that had gone on right around that time that essentially was, “Are you going to adopt HEVC?” What we took the approach on with this survey was to say, “Okay. Those of you who've already adopted HEVC, what are the lessons that we can learn from that?” Tim Siglin: 23:36 We didn't exclude those who were looking at AV1 or some of the other codes, even VP9, but we wanted to know those people who used HEVC. Were they using it in pilot projects? Were they thinking about it? Were they using it in actual production? What we found in the survey is that AVC, or H.264, was still clearly dominant in the industry, but that the ramp-up to HEVC was moving along much faster than at least I … I believed. Mark, I told you when we started the survey question creation, which was about a year ago and then launched it in early 2018, I expected we wouldn't see a whole lot of people using HEVC in production. Tim Siglin: 24:23 I was pleasantly surprised to say that I was wrong. In fact, I think you mentioned in our recent Streaming Media West interview that there was a statistic you gave about the number of households that could consume HEVC. Was it north of 50%? Mark Donnigan: 24:40 Yeah, it's more than 50%. What's interesting about that number is that that actually came from a very large MSO. Of course, they have a very good understanding of what devices are on their network. They found that there was at least one device in at least 50% of their homes that could receive and decode, playback, HEVC. That's about as real world as you can get. Tim Siglin: 25:06 What was fascinating to me too in this study was, we asked open-ended questions, which is what I've done in the research projects for the last 25 years both the video conferencing and streaming. One of the questions we asked was, “Do you see HEVC as only a 4K solution or do you see it as an option for lower resolutions?” It turned out overwhelmingly, people said, “We not only see it for 4K. We see it for high-frame rate (HFR) 1080p, standard frame rate 1080p, with some HDR.” Tim Siglin: 25:40 Not a majority, but a large number of respondents said they would even see it as a benefit at 720p. What that tells me is, because we had a large number of engineers, video engineers, and we also have people in business development who answer these questions, what it tells me is that companies know as we scale because of the unicast problem that Dror pointed out in the beginning that scaling with a codec that consumes more bandwidth is a good way to lose money, kind of like the joke that the way a rich man can lose money really fast is to invest in an airline. Tim Siglin: 26:19 If indeed you get scale with AVC, you could find yourself with a really large bill. That look at HEVC is being not just for 4K, HDR, or high frame rate in the future, but also for 1080p with some HDR and high frame rate. It tells me that the codec itself or the promise of the codec itself was actually really good. What was even more fascinating to me was the number of companies that had AVC pipelines that were actually looking to integrate HEVC into those same production pipe. Tim Siglin: 26:55 It was much easier from a process standpoint to integrate HEVC into an AVC pipeline, so in other words, H265 into H264 pipeline than it was to go out of house and look at something like AV1 or VP9, because the work that was done on HEVC builds on the benefits that were already in place in AVC. Of course, you got Apple who has HLS, HTTP Live Streaming, and a huge ecosystem in terms of iPhones and iPads, laptops and desktops supporting HEVC not just as a standard for video delivery, but also with the HEIC or HEIF image format, now having all of their devices shoot images using HEVC instead of JPEG. That in and of itself drives forward adoption of HEVC. I think you told me since that survey came out, probably now seven months ago, you all have continued to see the model of all-in HEVC adoption. Dror Gill: 28:03 This is what we promote all the time. It's kind of a movement. Are you all in HEVC or are you doing it just for 4K, just where you have to do it? We really believe in all-in HEVC. Actually, this week, I had an interesting discussion with one of our customers who is using our optimization product for VOD content, to reduce bit-rate of H.264 (streams). He said, “I want to have a product. I want to have a solution for reducing bit-rates on our live channels.” Dror Gill: 28:32 So, I asked them, “Okay. Why don't you just switch your codec to HEVC?” He said, “No, I can't do that.” I said, “Why not?” He said, “You know compatibility and things like that.” I asked, “Okay. What are you using? What are you delivering to?” He said, “We have our own set-top boxes (STB), IP set-top boxes which we give out to our customers. Well, these are pretty new.” So, they support HEVC. I'm okay there. “Then we have an Apple TV app.” “Okay, Apple TV has a 4K version. So, it supports HEVC. All of the latest Apple TV devices have HEVC. That's fine.” “Then we have smartphone apps, smart TV apps for Android TV and for the LG platform.” Dror Gill: 29:15 Obviously, TV's support 4K. So, I'm okay there. With delivering to mobile devices, all the high-end devices already support HEVC. He was making this estimate that around 50 to 60% of his viewers are using devices that are HEVC capable. Suddenly, he's thinking, “Yeah, I can do that. I can go all in HEVC. I will continue, of course, to support H.264 for all of the devices that don't support HEVC. But if I can save 50% of the bandwidth to 50 to 60% of my customers, that's a very big savings.” Mark Donnigan: 29:48 What's interesting about this conversation, Dror, is first of all I'm pretty certain that the operator you're talking with is different than the operator that I shared, found the exact same thing. This is a consistent theme, is that pretty much in developed parts of the world, it really is true that 50% or more of the users can today receive HEVC. This number is only growing. It's not like it's static It is just growing. Next year, I don't know if that number will be 60% or 70%, but it's going to be even bigger. Mark Donnigan: 30:27 What's fascinating is that, again, we've said earlier, that the consumer is getting just more aware of quality, and they're getting more aware of when they're being underserved. For operators who are serving to lowest common denominator, which is to say, AVC works across all my devices, and it's true. AVC works on all the high-end devices equally well, but you're under-serving a large and growing number of your users. Mark Donnigan: 31:01 If your competitors are doing the same, then I guess you could say … well, “Who are they going to switch to?” But there are some fast-moving leaders in the space who are either planning or they're shortly going to be offering better quality. They're going to be extending HEVC into lower bit rates or lower resolutions, that is, and therefore lower bit rates, and the consumers are going to begin to see like, “Well, wait a second. This service over here that my friend has or we have another subscription in the household, how come the video looks better?” They just begin to migrate there. I think it's really important when we have these sorts of conversations to connect to this idea that don't underserve your consumer in an effort to be something to everybody. Tim Siglin: 31:57 I would add two other quick things to that, Mark. One is, we've always had this conversation in the industry about the three-legged stool of speed, quality and bandwidth in terms of the encoding. Mark Donnigan: 32:09 That's right. Tim Siglin: 32:09 Two of those are part of the consumer equation, which is quality and bandwidth. Then, oftentimes, we've had to make the decision between quality and bandwidth. If the argument is ostensibly that HEVC as it stands right now, had a couple years of optimization, can get us to about, let's say, 40%. Let's not even say 50%. For equivalent quality, it can get us to 40% bandwidth reduction. Why wouldn't you switch over to something like that? Tim Siglin: 32:39 Then the second part, and I have to put a plugin for what Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen and the Streaming Media team did at Streaming Media West by having Roger Pantos come and speak, Roger Pantos being of course the inventor of HLS, and I'm not a huge fan of HLS, just because of the latency issues. But he pointed out in his presentation, his tutorial around HLS that you can put two different codecs in a manifest file. There is absolutely no reason that an OTT provider could not provide both HEVC and AVC within the same manifest file and then allow the consumer device to choose. Tim Siglin: 33:22 When Dror mentioned the company who has the OTT boxes that they give away, they could easily set a flag in those boxes to say, “If you're presented with a manifest file that has AVC and HEVC, go with HEVC to lower the bandwidth, overall.” The beauty is it's a technical issue at this point and it's a technical implementation issue, not a ‘can we make it work?' Because we know that it works based around the HLS. Mark Donnigan: 33:54 This is excellent. Tim, let's wrap this up, as I knew it would be. It has just been an awesome conversation. Thank you for sharing all your years of collective experience to give some insight into what's happening in the industry. Let's look at 2019. I know we've been talking a little bit about … you've made references to ATSC 3.0. Some of our listeners will be going to CES. Maybe there's some things that they should be looking at or keeping their eyes opened for. What can you tell us about 2019? Tim Siglin: 34:35 Here's what I think 2019 is bringing. We have moved in the cloud computing space and you all are part of this conversation at Beamr. We've moved from having cloud-based solutions that were not at parity with on-premise solutions to actually in 2018 reaching parity between what you could do in an on-premise solution versus the cloud. Now, I think in 2019, what we're going to start seeing is a number of features in cloud-based services, whether it's machine learning, which the popular nomenclature is AI, but I really like machine learning as a much better descriptor, whether it's machine learning, whether it's real-time transcoding of live content, whether it's the ability to simultaneously spit out AVC and HEVC like we've been talking about here that the cloud-based solutions will move beyond parity with the on-premise solutions. Tim Siglin: 35:35 There always will be needs for the on-premise parts from a security standpoint in sort of the industries, but I don't think that will inhibit cloud-based in 2019. If people are going to CES, one of the things to look at there, for instance, is a big leap in power consumption savings for mobile devices. I'm not necessarily talking about smartphones, because the research I've done says the moment you turn GPS on, you lose 25% of battery. Tablets have the potential to make a resurgence in a number of areas for consumers and I think we'll see some advances in battery (capacity). Tim Siglin: 36:19 Part of that goes to HEVC, which as we know is a much harder codec to decode. I think the consumer companies are being forced into thinking about power consumption as HEVC becomes more mainstream. That's something I think people should pay attention to as well. Then, finally, HDR and surround sound solutions, especially object placement like Dolby Atmos and some of these others, will become much more mainstream as a way to sell flat panels and surround sound systems. Tim Siglin: 36:56 We sort of languished in that space. 4K prices have dropped dramatically in the last two years, but we're not yet ready for 8K. But I think we'll see a trend toward fixing some of the audio problems. In the streaming space, to fix those audio problems, we need to be able to encode and encapsulate into sort of the standard surround sound model. Those are three areas that I would suggest people pay attention. Mark Donnigan: 37:25 Well, thank you for joining us, Tim. It's really great to have you on. We'll definitely do this again. We want to thank you, the listener, for supporting the Video Insiders. Until the next episode. Happy encoding!

VIZIO P702ui-B3 70-Inch 4K UHD We have been talking about 4K TVs for what seems like an eternity. This week Ara finally took possession of his VIZIO P702ui-B3 70-Inch 4K UHD (Buy Now $2498). Now before you all say “no one can see the difference on a screen that size sitting at a normal distance”, hang on until we get to the performace part of the review. As soon as Vizio announced this set at CES Ara knew it was going to be his first 4K TV. At 70 inches it fills up the normal sized family room but not so much that it looks too big. Even Ara's wife who was skeptical when she heard that a 70 inch screen was going to replace the 58 inch plasma felt the TV was a good fit for the room. The family consensus is that watching the Vizio is almost like watching in the media room, mainly due to the family room being a bit cozier.   Features: Ultra HD picture - 8 million pixels and 4x the resolution of 1080p Full HD. 5 HDMI inputs, one dedicated for high performance devices Spatial Scaling Engine - Scales 1080p Full HD content to 4K Ultra HD resolutions. VIZIO Internet Apps Plus - Optimized for Ultra HD streaming. 802.11ac wireless - ideal for Ultra HD streaming. 72 Active LED Zones - Dynamically adjusts the LED backlight per zone creating deeper, pure black levels and higher contrast Setup The TV was bought through Amazon and it came with delivery and setup. The guys showed up and removed the TV from the packaging, connected the stand and then placed it on TV stand. Ara connected the tuner, Ethernet, HDMI and power cables and the turned it on. The TV asks you some questions and within a few minutes you have a picture on set.   Next up was adjusting the TV with a “Calibration” disc. Settings are shown at the end of this article. While Ara was able to get a good picture with the disc, there are so many settings on this TV that these discs do not address, it is well worth hiring a professional to calibrate the set. If you are going to spend ~$2,500 for a 4K UHD TV you should get the most out of it. There are also two factory calibrated settings that you can chose, Calibrated and Calibrated Dark focusing in the following 4 areas: Color accuracy – Calibrated to International Telecommunication UnionITU-R Recommendation BT.709 Gamma control – Set to 2.1 for Calibrated, 2.2 for Calibrated Dark Color temperature – Calibrated to D65 (D65 corresponds roughly to a midday sun in Western Europe / Northern Europe, hence it is also called daylight illuminant.) Brightness and contrast levels – Calibrated to minimize black and bright clipping   VIZIO recommends if you are situated in a bright setting, adjust the picture mode setting of the TV to Calibrated. On the contrary, if you are in a dark setting, adjust the picture mode setting to Calibrated Dark.   We turned on the Audio Return Channel (ARC) on the set so we could get 5.1 out of the tuner and the built in Netflix app. This required that we use an HDMI cable that supports ARC and a receiver that also supports it. We were good to go on both parts and after CEC control was also activated on the Denon receiver we were ready to start watching TV! Performance First up was watching through the DirecTV satellite receiver. This was a mixed bag. Depending on the channel or what was being played on the channel we kind of felt like it was 2000 again. The TV really exposes flaws in the signal. Just like the move to HD from NTSC. First up was football on ABC. ABC is a 720p channel and in LA it is multicast which compresses the signal. Things didn't look as sharp as we are used to. This was evident in the playing field more than anywhere else. When the camera would show the grass you could see the video processing sharpen the image in those areas.   The odd thing was on the same channel but for the nationally televised game in the evening the picture looked flawless. Everyone watching in the house was amazed at how good it looked. The only thing we can think of is that the day game was a regional game for Los Angeles and that ABC didn't use the best gear in the production of the game. For the national game the A-team production van was used. When it was all said and done we would have never noticed this on the plasma.   Watching college football on CBS did not exhibit any of these issues. In Los Angeles CBS does not multicast so the entire bandwidth is used for the TV signal. The Alabama game looked incredible! Both OTA and Satellite signals were used with similar results. Bottom line, a good signal looks fantastic. That was the case in 2000 and its the case today. We could see macroblocking on sitcoms that we never saw on plasma. Scaling up to a 4K TV with 70 inches or realestate will expose flaws. That's just something you will have to live with when watching network TV.   Then we watched Blu-ray and this is where we got the oohs and ahs we were hoping for. The Vizio did an incredible job here. The colors were so vivid and detail so sharp that we got that looking through glass feeling while watching. The opening shots of “A Million Ways to Die in the West” were breathtaking. We then pulled out an oldie but a goodie, “Blackhawk Down”.  This movie has a lot of night scenes that are great for testing a TV's ability to show shadow detail. Some listeners/readers have questioned Ara for giving up his plasma which typically have deep dark blacks and high contrast for an LED based TV. The Vizio did a great job with the dark scenes. Almost as good as the plasma. Close enough to where Ara didn't feel like he was losing anything. This was accomplished by using direct lit LED with 72 zones. By completely turning off LEDs in zones that are not being used the TV can approach black levels and contrast of plasmas.   Finally there was the 4K test. We hit the Netflix button on the remote and searched for 4K content. First up was a nature video, a la HD Net circa 2000. Yes it was like 2000 all over again. We watched stuff because it was in UHD!   Netflix labels its its UltraHD as 2160SD which has a resolution of 3840x2160. True 4K is 4096x2160 and that is labeled 2160HD. We were not able to find a 2160HD program.   Regardless, the 2160SD content looked incredible. You need the ability to stream 15Mbps to be able to view Ultra HD  content and if you have it you will be amazed at the clarity. We also watched the Blacklist in UHD, which comes highly recommended by listeners.   We were amazed at the detail and clarity. The charts and graphs say you can't really see the difference in resolution on a 70 inch TV at 12 feet but we'll have to disagree. It looks amazing! We can't wait for 4K Blu-ray!   One area that we weren't that pleased with the TV was off angle viewing. Here the plasma had this beat. If you are sitting directly in front of it it won't be an issue but in Ara's family room there are two positions where this will be an issue. Just something to consider if you are interested in this set.   The remote control is nice and has a full keyboard on back which makes searching for content a bit easier. We added the TV to the Roomie remote with no issues, but we had to do so with our IR blaster. At this point in time there is no way to turn the TV on over Ethernet.   In addition to Netflix, the TV includes, Vudu, Hulu Plus, Youtube, Pandora, and Amazon to name a few Internet apps. Amazon, Netflix, and iHeart Radio have hard coded buttons to make getting to these apps easier. Conclusion We are at the beginning of the Ultra HD transition and you may wonder if its too early to switch. One can argue that it is, but if you have a Blu-ray player or a 15Mbps Internet connection you really don't have to wait. The Vizio P702ui-B3 will take those platforms and make them better! We can't wait for 4K Blu-ray!   Settings No Picture Mode Management settings were changed. Probably best to consult a professional calibrator.  

Dual Lamp Projectors Grant Clauser, Technology and Online Editor at Electronic House, recently posted an article titled “Home Theater Projector Tips for Multipurpose Rooms.” The basic premise is that projectors aren't just for man caves or dedicated theater rooms, but can be used very effectively in what we've traditionally called a family room but what a lot of integrators are now calling media rooms, multipurpose rooms or hybrid entertainment rooms.   The article makes three suggestions for optimizing the projector experience in a less traditional projector room. The first two are about placement. In a dedicated theater room, the room is built to accommodate the projector, so placement isn't an issue. In a family room, it may be difficult to find a good spot for it, so you have to be creative. A long throw lens and lens shift capabilities could come in really handy.   “...long throw projectors can help overcome design or placement complications. In a dedicated home theater, with the lights off, it doesn't matter as much if the projector is hanging from the ceiling in plain sight. But in a room that's also used for other family gatherings, an out-in-the-open projector is an eyesore. Projectors with long throw lenses allow the unit to be installed against (or even inside) a far wall, out of the way.”   “...lens shift (both vertical and horizontal) can be important in a multipurpose room. Architectural features (walls, windows, fireplaces, columns) can make ideal placement difficult, so mechanical lens shift can help ... get the projector targeted properly.”   We've talked about the article, or similar posts, before. But one point we haven't spent much time on is the third suggestion: dual lamp projectors. Since it is much harder to control ambient light in a multipurpose room, high light output is key. The brighter the room, the brighter the projector needs to be. In a dark room, the projector should ideally do 16 foot-Lamberts. By comparison, LCD and plasma televisions can do much, much more, with some LED models capable of 80 foot-Lamberts and higher. The article recommends at least 40 foot-lamberts for a multipurpose room that may have ambient light issues.   Since your projector specs will use lumens, not foot-Lamberts as their brightness specification, the article suggests taking 20-30 percent off the number, then divide it by the screen area for a foot-Lambert number that's closer to accurate, but still not perfect. The distance to the screen and screen gain also has an impact on that number. To overcome this, they recommend using a dual-lamp projector. This allows you to run a single lamp like a traditional projector at night or when the room is dark, but run both lamps for a brighter picture during the day.   We haven't spent much time on dual lamp projectors on the show because they are harder to find, especially for DIY installations. They tend to be specific to the custom install channel and are usually quite expensive. But for those contemplating a rear projection setup in a room where you may not be able to control the ambient light, projector brightness may be the thing holding you back. So we decided to take a look at Amazon to see what options were available for DIY. We found two. Both from NEC. Both affordable. Neither of them great options.   The truth is, dual lamp projectors are difficult to find. The ones we were able to locate by consulting the Google, models from Christie, Benq, Epson, etc. were either discontinued or otherwise unavailable.   NEC NP-PX700W2 WXGA DLP Dual Lamp 7000 Lumen Integration Projector Buy now: $4999 DLP projector - HD 720p Brightness: 7000 lumens Contrast Ratio: 2100:1 Image Size: 51.2 in - 299 in Projection Distance: 2.6 ft - 180 ft Resolution: WXGA - WXGA (1280 x 800) (native) / 1920 x 1200 (resized) Lamp Type: 2 x 400 Watt| Lamp Life Cycle: 2000 hour(s) / 2500 hour(s) (economic mode) Features: Picture in picture, Eco-Mode technology, AutoSense technology, Advanced AccuBlend technology, 3D Reform technology, 6-segment color wheel, JPEG photo playback, Edge blending, High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System (HDCP), wall color correction Vertical Lens Shift: 50% Horizontal Lens Shift: 10% TV System: NTSC, SECAM, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, NTSC 4.43, PAL 60| Analog Video Signal: RGB, S-Video, composite video Video Interfaces: VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, composite video, S-Video, RGB Video Modes: 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 480i, 576i, 576p   NEC NP4000 XGA DLP Dual Lamp 5,200 Lumen Projector Buy now: $3999 DLP projector - HD 720p Brightness: 5200 lumens Contrast Ratio: 2100:1 Image Size: 50 in - 200 in Projection Distance: 2.6 ft - 180 ft Resolution: XGA (1024 x 768) (native) / 1920 x 1200 (resized) Vertical Lens Shift: 40% Horizontal Lens Shift: 35% TV System: NTSC, SECAM, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, NTSC 4.43, PAL 60| Analog Video Signal: RGB, S-Video, composite video Video Interfaces: VGA, component video, composite video, S-Video, RGB Video Modes: 480p, 720p, 1080i, 480i, 576i, 576p|

Video Scalers and Processors A recent discussion on the show about the “good old days” of HDTV, the days of rear projection LCD, DLP and LCoS, the days of High Definition CRT, got us thinking about some of the other aspects of the early days, like video scalers. Once considered a must have for any true home theater connoisseur, the video scaler seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur.   Background Before HDTV hit the mainstream about a decade ago, we lived for about 50 years with one dominant video format for television here in the US: NTSC.  NTSC blessed us with a beautiful 4:3 image, it ran at 29.97 interlaced frames per second. Each frame was 525 scan lines, composed of the two interlaced fields of 262.5 scan lines each. But only 483 scan lines were actually visible on screen. This left us with what we now refer to as 4:3, 30 fps, 480i video.   And that was it.  All televisions supported that video format, all home projectors supported that format, it was the one ring that bound them all. It didn't matter if you wanted a standard CRT or “tube” television, a big screen, rear projection television, or a home projector. They all knew how to accept 480i at 30 fps, and render 480i at 30fps. But then the world changed. HDTV, and the ATSC standard, threw all of that out the window.   ATSC defined a multitude of potential video formats that a television would have to be able to display. Not only did it include the legacy 480i, it added 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and even a few we never really used here in the US because they were added for PAL support, like 288p, 576i and 576p. And on top of the new resolutions were a bunch of new frame rates, the legacy 29.97 and 23.976, 24, 30, 59.94, 60. And, of course, the 16:9 aspect ratio.   But in the early days of High Definition, there wasn't just a whole new set of video formats to support, there was also a miriad of television technologies that all rendered the video slightly differently. From the digital formats like plasma, LCD and DLP that were progressive displays and rendered all the interlaced lines at once, to the analog CRT televisions that continued to display interlaced, although they did scale up to cover the 1080i High Definition standard.   Video Processors In those tumultuous days, display manufacturers struggled to just get all the supported formats to render on their chosen display technology. They weren't focused on the best way to do it, or any potential improvements they could make to the source video to make it look better on the newer, higher resolution displays. This meant that when you started with terrible, NTSC 480i content, and blew it up onto a 720p, 1080i or 1080p television, it looked, in a word, terrible.   Video processors or scalers to the rescue. Luckily, although the manufacturers weren't focused on the scaling problem that much, there were dedicated companies that stepped up to the challenge. Companies like Faroujda building chips, or DVDO building scalers. These devices allowed you to connect any type of source content, and convert it to the ideal format for your display. And they did it really well. 720p content looked great on a 1080i television; 480p DVDs looked great on a 720p TV; even 480i content looked decent on an HDTV. Scalers saved the day.   But lately, those same technologies that saved us in scalers, have been making their way directly into the TVs and projectors you can buy for yourself. Most of them now do a very respectable job of scaling. And we don't have nearly as much terrible resolution content to deal with. We're dealing with mostly native HDTV content, or worst case, 480p DVD. It starts good, it scales well, and everyone is happy. So people aren't really clamoring for scalers anymore. Do I need a scaler? There are two very good uses for video scalers today. First off, some of us can benefit greatly from a video scaler, or at least a device that sits between your source equipment and your display, to fix up any issues the two may have in agreeing on video format or resolution. Many times, especially if you have a receiver in the chain, your source and display can disagree on what format is best when they do their HDMI handshake, and you end up with a messed up video, or a sub-optimal experience. A scaler can force the output to match what the display wants. In those cases, it is used more to fix issues, not really to improve the video rendering. Although fixing the issues does improve the quality of the video.   And secondly, there are people who really enjoy some of the effects the more specialized scalers can introduce. For example, the Darbee Visual Presence technology. If you want to take advantage of Darbee, you have to buy a scaler or video processor that includes it - or get the OPPO Blu-ray that has it. If you enjoy the effect Darbee Visual Presence or other like technologies have on your video experience, a processor is your only option. In this case, the processor is doing exactly what it did in the early days, improving the content on your display to make you TV and Movies look even better. Scaler options Many modern AV Receivers include very good video processing and scaling capabilities, but they don't always solve all the HDMI handshake issues, not do they include specialized technology like Darbee Visual Presence. Buying a good AV receiver with good video processing chips, assuming you don't have HDMI issues, should be good enough for most people.  If not...   DVDO Edge Green High-Definition Video Processor and Connectivity Hub Solution Buy now: $287.
