Bitrate in Streaming

Data transfer strongly influences the resulting quality of video and the size of its data.

This is why it’s a good idea to decide what video you’ll be publishing and where you want to place it. It’s also necessary to take the scene in the video into consideration. If you only have one moving object in the shot – a moderator, for example, in front of a static background – you can get away with lowering the bitrate to as low as several hundred kb/s. The image will lose some quality, but it will still run smoothly and stay “watchable”. But, if the background of the scene is moving (the waves of the sea, trees waving in the wind, rain, or snow), the resulting video will become choppy when running at such a low bitrate. This is because the scene at the given moment is creating such a large amount … Read more

University of Kansas (KU) Jayhawks Bowl Game Wins and Losses – 6 Victories – 6 Defeats

The University of Kansas (KU) Jayhawks have played in twelve bowl games in in the history of their football program and during that time the team has six wins and six losses.

The first football season at KU occurred in 1890 and eight years later the first basketball season tipped off in 1898.

While twelve bowl appearances in a 120 year history equates to just one bowl appearance for every ten years there is an encouraging aspect to the overall record and that is the fact that the Jayhawks have won five of their last six post season games. For many optimists this statistic alone is enough to prove that the football program is moving in the right direction.

The twelve appearances with results are as … Read more

Game-Based Learning Applications For Safety and Health Training

I’ve been an environmental, health and safety professional for 19 years and have been providing training for nearly that long. As any health and safety trainer will tell you, communicating information about state or federal regulatory standards are not particularly fun. The challenge for trainers in our profession is to find ways to engage our trainees and to maintain their interest. If trainees are interested they participate and remember the material. If the memory and experience is strong enough, behavioral change takes place. That is ultimately what we are after-a worker who uses his/her knowledge to engage their mind and body; keeping themselves and others safe on the job.

Games have the power to engage trainees in this way, leading to those results. The fact that a properly constructed and implemented game can be an effective learning tool is not a secret. The concept of game-based learning has been around … Read more
