P4P network jukebox or mainstream

High-definition players have only emerged in the last two years. It can be said that they have borrowed the high-definition flat-panel TVs and, thanks to the Internet, have become a hot spot on the market for a long time and have greatly replaced the trend of DVDs. Compared to DVDs, the advantages of high-definition players are obvious. They consume almost all video formats and support high-definition video output. Even though high-definition players have such advantages, they rarely see them in the living room. What kind of figure does this happen? What kind of entertainment protagonist does our living room need? Today we try to do some analysis on it.

First, congenitally less than the traditional high-definition player or die in recent years, the large-screen high-definition television market is increasingly popular, making the former living room in the entertainment star DVD brilliance is no longer, has always been quite optimistic about the Blu-ray DVD due to price and source of the reasons Market capacity is small. This also gives HD players the opportunity to land on the beach, mainstream video formats take them all, and download free online sources. U disk and mobile hard disk all support it. It looks very convenient, but for those who are not familiar with computers, It is not so easy, which to some extent hindered the high-definition player into the living room.

Later, there appeared high-definition players supporting on-demand network, they are all based on P2P technology on-demand. In other words, plug in the Internet to watch videos online, really making many people excited. However, when you are watching online video, the disadvantages of P2P technology will be exposed. At this time, your computer or other computer on the LAN will not be able to go online, because P2P will use almost all of the bandwidth. In addition, the high-definition player's network video library is made by the manufacturers themselves, and the video resources are relatively few and the available room is small, which affects the user's online experience.

In order to enjoy high-definition, users have to go to download high-definition movies, but now there are few online high-definition film, uneven quality, even if found, high-definition movies are often more than a dozen G, not everyone is affordable, because The speed of most friends is not allowed. The next high-definition movie would take a lot of time. So, the survival status of the traditional high-definition player is really embarrassing. However, our users are looking forward to having better products that can easily achieve online search on demand or download high-speed network video, and have the basic function of high-definition decoding output.

Second, the world "no" shadow living room what kind of entertainment the protagonist The vast majority of families still have a DVD in the living room, but rarely used it, the street DVD audio and video seems to be extinct, it is difficult to buy To the disc, nothing can be released. Although high-definition players can watch videos online, the sources in the video library are scanty and the updates are slow. It is better to watch videos online on a computer.

DVDs can be placed without discs, and the traditional high-definition player video library sources are seldom pitted. These have limited the desire of many consumers to buy to some extent. In the acquisition of content, relying on the Internet to download high-definition movies is still not realistic in the current network environment. This causes ordinary users and content to have a distance, making the high-definition player not so easy to use, contrary to the human nature of human-computer interaction. Change.

So, what kind of entertainment protagonists are needed in our living room? Our ideal protagonist must be able to search for the desired video program in the shortest time, and can be on-demand or high-speed download online, high-definition decoding output, and can play high-definition programs in the local area network or mobile storage devices, which should be the most basic requirements For users who are familiar with computers and those who are not familiar with computer operations, they also require that our protagonists can easily get started. Although HD players can be downloaded using P2P technology, this is based on the premise of sacrificing bandwidth. Limited by the resources provided by vendors, online on-demand programs are also very few, and have "P4P + cloud search (wide network search) + local The fifth element X6 on-demand broadcaster, or broadcast, will be more in line with the needs of our masses, and will become the protagonist of home entertainment.

Third, the technology in command of the P4P network on-demand player can be successful on the high-definition player has been a little rain, rain, P2P technology is not a panacea, because it can not give consumers a good network experience, which also determines the traditional high-definition player in It can't take a long way in the real environment. The appearance of the fifth element X6 revived the high-definition player, which incorporated full-web search and P4P technology. The fifth element, X6, advocates a brand new source model, which is a full-web search that can search for video files on all computer servers that are open to the public on the Internet. In other words, the high-definition player source is no longer limited to the manufacturer's video library, but is expanded to all public servers, there are more sources for you to choose.

In addition, the fifth element X6 adopts P4P technology. Different from the traditional P2P technology randomly selecting resource points, the P4P protocol can use the network topology data to select the best resource point, and more select the same router or regional network for data exchange through intelligent computing, and intelligently select data exchange objects. Can greatly improve data transmission capabilities. Tests have shown that using P4P technology, users' average download speed is increased by 60%, and fiber-to-the-home users are increased by 205%-665%. This will greatly increase the download speed of our users, resulting in an uninterrupted broadcast experience. It is below 1M bandwidth. The reason why P4P can bring such a good network optimization effect is because p4p uses a different optimization strategy from traditional p2p. P4P technology allows network operators to proactively provide their own network topology, greatly reducing bandwidth usage while providing download speeds.

Cloud search technology combined with unique network topology identification technology and unique network optimization strategy will bring us a brand new online video viewing experience without frames. The fifth element X6 changes not only people's opinions on high-definition players, but also the trend of digital home appliances in the future. From this point of view, the market outlook of the network jukebox based on P4P technology is still very good!

Four, three network integration P4P network on-demand machine opportunities where?

The list of the first batch of triple play pilot cities has been confirmed, and the work of pilot cities for triple play has been started. Cao Shumin, deputy director of the Institute of Telecommunications Research of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that “the triple play will not only provide users with television, but also the next step. There must be high-definition TVs and interactive TVs. Due to the development of a large number of videos on the Internet, it is necessary to provide users with Internet TVs with experience and interaction."

The triple play has enriched the user's television life, shifting from watching TV to using TV, and paying more attention to the user's experience. Under the background of triple play, P4P technology has ushered in new opportunities. It not only improves the user experience, but also helps operators to better share resources and reduce operating costs. DCIA (Distributed Computing Industry Association) will work to promote the P4P transmission protocol as a standard on the Internet. U.S. operator Verizon said that P4P is suitable for large-scale commercial network content transmission, such as software download and IPTV services.

P4P technology is promising from the point of view of operators to reduce costs, or from the perspective of user network experience. Therefore, the P4P network jukebox preheats the user's network video experience in the early stage of triple play. Finding out more features that are more suitable for consumers may be a great opportunity for triple-playing networks to bring on-demand jukeboxes.
