Aspects of Optimum Video Shooting and Streaming Optimization

In order to retain the interest of your target viewers, professional movie producers and directors make use of slow motion. Motion introduces negative effects in most streaming video compression techniques. In order to get top notch video quality ideal for streaming purposes using simple camcorders, try as much as possible to reduce motion during the actual video shoot. On-camera motion should also be avoided. Motion results in a degradation of the overall picture and picture quality. Have a thorough knowledge of the type of video software format that you will be using as it has a direct impact on the quality aspect of your video. Some video software packages are best used using higher data rates (H.264) while others are much more efficient at lower data rates (Windows Media).

Always plan the video’s background before you start shooting in addition to avoiding too much motion. This avoids that blurring effect that characterizes poorly done videos. The background should also be considered along with the video software package/codec to be used. Some codec’s are only able to work with a certain type of background. The set should also be arranged and dressed in such a way that it provides an easy to optimize background depending on the codec being used.

The set illumination or lighting is the third step that should be taken care of. All high quality streaming videos have excellent lighting which provides a clear contrast between the background and the subject.

Last but not least, have a good camera and be proficient in its use. Keep the settings consistent while filming and whenever possible make use of multiple cameras. Multiple cameras result in videos that are quite interesting which is the key aim of video streaming optimization just like is the case with Search Engine Optimization or SEO. Avoid panning and zooming at all costs as this result in video degradation.

Netflix
Netflix started as a DVD rental service that did away with the then rampant late fess charged by video stores by mailing movies back and forth at your leisure. More recently Netflix launched a new program they call “watch instantly” which gives you access to an enormous library of movies, documentaries and old television shows. Because the library is so vast and is constantly updated, there is virtually always something new to watch. Netflix also has the added benefit of being available on almost any device with an Internet connection. Devices that support Netflix streaming are the Iphone, Android phones, the Xbox 360, all set top boxes and the PS3 just to name a few.

Hulu Plus
Like Netflix, Hulu Plus features a huge library of old television shows and movies you can stream at any time. In addition to that library of content Hulu also offers the most recent episodes of new shows on almost every network as soon as the next day. If there are some currently running programs on any NBC, ABC or FOX network your following than Hulu Plus is the perfect way to stay caught up without paying for cable. Hulu Plus is also available on a large number of devices such as mobile devices, gaming consoles and set top boxes but not everything in the library is available on the application based Hulu Plus yet. More content is added each day and everything is expected to be available by the end of the year.

Amazon.com
The rare show that isn’t available for streaming on either Netflix or Hulu can likely be found on Amazon.com. Amazon allows you to either buy an individual episode of a series for $1.99 an episode or you can buy a pass and get the entire season for a discounted rate. Once the television shows are purchased that files can be downloaded and are yours to do whatever you like with. That means you can transfer them between devices or computers as much as you like without any issues.

Start the Music

What happened is that Amazon announced the development of a cloud player. Simply put, this is a online music and video player that is now included with Amazon Cloud Storage accounts allowing users to upload media and play it from anywhere. No big deal, right? This is the single most exciting violation of Digital Rights Management (DRM) ever recorded. The record labels are dead set against this, as it allows the user to invite his or her friends to listen as well. Of course, there is security; music can only be played after logging on.

It’s not so much that the Amazon service is that unique, other sites offer similar services, but it is that Amazon is so flagrantly flouting the industry, and the fact that it is one of the biggest online media distributors on the Internet. There are two parts to the Amazon Cloud Drive and Amazon Cloud Player offering. The first provides online accessible storage for various files such as photos and documents, and the second is the music service. Anyone with an Amazon account is being offered 5 GB free for the Cloud Player, and an additional 20 GB if you purchase music on Amazon.

The bottom line is simple, on the surface Amazon is offering a free, entertainment service to their clients to purchase music and use the new Cloud Player service. This will drive music sales and many will upgrade to the higher storage creating additional revenue. Music sales would seem like the kind of thing that the RIAA would approve of, but they don’t. From the beginning it was about absolute control, the rules were designed to prevent any possibility of, or encourage anyone to think in terms of, open access to music. While this could be the shot starting the revolution in a small way, in reality the change is inevitable.

Clouds Without Walls

The cloud is coming and tablets are coming too. While there is more storage space on a low-end MP3 player than the Amazon Music Cloud it is significant. Google talked about it, so did Apple but Amazon is first in the gate. The whole computing/internet paradigm is changing. Device commoditization, mobility and universal access to the network are the backbone of the future Internet. Why store your music on your smartphone when you can just log in and enjoy? The PC culture and it associated computer paradigm are fading, leaving the glow of the monitor like the smile of the Cheshire Cat. The very concept of local storage will fade as will the idea of an independent computer. There will be only access screens of different sizes. Music, along with all other forms of media will have to change, the notion of copyright, as a means of controlling access will have to change to adapt. This is just the beginning of the change. There will be more to come.

That said, there are certain questions to ask yourself when you think about buying a tablet for your media streaming needs. Not every tablet will be perfect for you, and everyone has different media situations. So, you should take your time in buying the tablet that is right for you.

Here are a few tips to consider as you start your shopping spree.

Screen Size is Important

First of all, think about the kinds of video you’ll be streaming and how much of it you want to see well. Will you be watching the video from the comfort of home or will you be cramped in a crowded train? In the first case, you may want a larger screen so you can set up the tablet on a table and sit back as you watch it. In the second case, you might want to hold it close to you, in which event it’ll be easier to have a smaller tablet that doesn’t take up too much room, but still gives you crisp images. Check out screen dimensions as well as contrast ratio and how the display works.

How Much Can You Carry?

Certain tablets are heavier than others. The iPad 2 weighs 1.33 pounds while the Motorola Xoom weighs 1.6 pounds. Sure, that’s a difference of.3 pounds, which may not be all that big in the grand scheme of things; however, it could be enough to change how you pack a bag to take a commuting flight across the country. Make sure that when you shop for tablets and compare them, you think about how much you can carry on a plane and whether or not that tablet would be okay for you. It seems like all tablets weigh as light as a feather in the store, but when you put them in your bag, that’s a whole other business.

Tablet Adaptability

Another thing you should look out for is how adaptable your tablet is to your busy life. You should look for a tablet that has great accessories and can transition seamlessly from your bedroom to the kitchen to your car without a hitch in usability. If you’re constantly on the go, then an iPad might be a better option that a lesser known tablet due to how many third-party companies have created accessories for the iPad.

Speed, Speed, Speed

Next, think about the kinds of videos you’ll be viewing on your tablet. If you’re watching sports, you’re going to want the fastest capable tablet out there on the market so you can keep up with all of the action. If, however, you’re after short clips or single episodes of a show, you can probably get away with having a relatively standard tablet, as even these will do fine. Of course, the quality of your internet service or network will affect speed; however, you want to make sure that your tablet can get the job done as well.

Talk to the Experts

Finally, check with the experts as to what they think about the different products out there. Read reviews of tablets online. When you visit the gadget store, explain what you really plan to use the tablet for and ask the experts for their recommendations. They’ll really know what to look for and they’ll be able to help you find the perfect match.

“It is Amazing How Technology has Advanced”

Nobody knows if they should get exited or not as a 2GHz Smartphone has been in speculation since 2010 already when Motorola promised their 2GHz smartphone to be released by Christmas 2010 and Sony Ericson promised their Noxus will be the first 2GHz smartphone. Now Samsung plans to release a dual-core 2 GHz smartphone, which according to them will see the light in 2012. Samsung is known for developing fast running phones and it is speculated that the latest dual-core 2GHz smartphone in the works will theoretically be capable of speeds of 4GHz.

Is It Possible?

That is the big question on everyone’s lips as high-ranking Samsung officials confirm that it is more than just speculation that their latest innovation will have the same data processing capacity of regular PCs. Samsung released their statement just as the world’s first dual-core 1GHz phones, the LG Optimus 2X and the Motorola Atrix, became available. It will be technically possible for a phone which runs with 2 2GHz chips, to run at speeds of up to 4GHz, although tests in the real world hardly ever match specs.

More Pressure on Competitors

Samsung will use the new 2GHz chip in their Samsung phones as well as marketed under their new Exynos brand, which they unveiled in February, to third parties. So it is possible that users do not have to switch over to Samsung if they want the fastest phone available, that is if it will be released. This is also just speculation, however the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy S II will be the first to feature the Exynos-branded chips. Although the word is not out yet as to exactly when Samsung will market their devices using the new dual-core 2GHz chips, it already puts a lot of pressure on the competitors such as NVidia with the Tegra 2 and Apple with the A5, which are both dual-core processors. Basically any mobile processor is based on ARM’s dual-core Cortex-A9, which creates the needed low-power architecture in mobiles, which is scalable to such speed and it is said to be the basis of the new chip from Samsung.
