Users can stream to popular services including YouTube, Facebook Live or Twitch or to a custom-specified server. Streams can be output to a third-party service and custom server simultaneously, while real-time video preview in the app allows easy monitoring. In addition to outputting live streams, Ultra Stream can record video as files to a directly-connected USB drive, embedded storage or the associated smartphone.

  • MPEG Video in Software: Representation, Transmission, and Playback
    High Speed Networking and Multimedia Computing, IS&T/SPIE Symp. on Elec. Imaging Sci. & Tech., San Jose, CA, February 1994. MPEG Video in Software: Representation, Transmission, and Playback Lawrence A. Rowe, Ketan D. Patel, Brian C Smith, and Kim Liu Computer Science Division - EECS University of California Berkeley, CA 94720 ([email protected]) Abstract A software decoder for MPEG-1 video was integrated into a continuous media playback system that supports synchronized playing of audio and video data stored on a file server. The MPEG-1 video playback system supports forward and backward play at variable speeds and random positioning. Sending and receiving side heuristics are described that adapt to frame drops due to network load and the available decoding capacity of the client workstation. A series of experiments show that the playback system adds a small overhead to the stand alone software decoder and that playback is smooth when all frames or very few frames can be decoded. Between these extremes, the system behaves reasonably but can still be improved. 1.0 Introduction As processor speed increases, real-time software decoding of compressed video is possible. We developed a portable software MPEG-1 video decoder that can play small-sized videos (e.g., 160 x 120) in real-time and medium-sized videos within a factor of two of real-time on current workstations [1]. We also developed a system to deliver and play synchronized continuous media streams (e.g., audio, video, images, animation, etc.) on a network [2].Initially, this system supported 8kHz 8-bit audio and hardware-assisted motion JPEG compressed video streams.

  • CS 61A Streams Summer 2019 1 Streams
    CS 61A Streams Summer 2019 Discussion 10: August 6, 2019 1 Streams In Python, we can use iterators to represent infinite sequences (for example, the generator for all natural numbers). However, Scheme does not support iterators. Let's see what happens when we try to use a Scheme list to represent an infinite sequence of natural numbers: scm> (define (naturals n) (cons n (naturals (+ n 1)))) naturals scm> (naturals 0) Error: maximum recursion depth exceeded Because cons is a regular procedure and both its operands must be evaluted before the pair is constructed, we cannot create an infinite sequence of integers using a Scheme list. Instead, our Scheme interpreter supports streams, which are lazy Scheme lists. The first element is represented explicitly, but the rest of the stream's elements are computed only when needed. Computing a value only when it's needed is also known as lazy evaluation. scm> (define (naturals n) (cons-stream n (naturals (+ n 1)))) naturals scm> (define nat (naturals 0)) nat scm> (car nat) 0 scm> (cdr nat) #[promise (not forced)] scm> (car (cdr-stream nat)) 1 scm> (car (cdr-stream (cdr-stream nat))) 2 We use the special form cons-stream to create a stream: (cons-stream <operand1> <operand2>) cons-stream is a special form because the second operand is not evaluated when evaluating the expression. To evaluate this expression, Scheme does the following: 1. Evaluate the first operand. 2. Construct a promise containing the second operand. 3. Return a pair containing the value of the first operand and the promise. 2 Streams To actually get the rest of the stream, we must call cdr-stream on it to force the promise to be evaluated.

  • Chapter 2 Basics of Scanning And
    Chapter 2 Basics of Scanning and Conventional Programming in Java In this chapter, we will introduce you to an initial set of Java features, the equivalent of which you should have seen in your CS-1 class; the separation of problem, representation, algorithm and program – four concepts you have probably seen in your CS-1 class; style rules with which you are probably familiar, and scanning - a general class of problems we see in both computer science and other fields. Each chapter is associated with an animating recorded PowerPoint presentation and a YouTube video created from the presentation. It is meant to be a transcript of the associated presentation that contains little graphics and thus can be read even on a small device. You should refer to the associated material if you feel the need for a different instruction medium. Also associated with each chapter is hyperlinked code examples presented here. References to previously presented code modules are links that can be traversed to remind you of the details. The resources for this chapter are: PowerPoint Presentation YouTube Video Code Examples Algorithms and Representation Four concepts we explicitly or implicitly encounter while programming are problems, representations, algorithms and programs. Programs, of course, are instructions executed by the computer. Problems are what we try to solve when we write programs. Usually we do not go directly from problems to programs. Two intermediate steps are creating algorithms and identifying representations. Algorithms are sequences of steps to solve problems. So are programs. Thus, all programs are algorithms but the reverse is not true.

  • File I/O Stream Byte Stream
    File I/O In Java, we can read data from files and also write data in files. We do this using streams. Java has many input and output streams that are used to read and write data. Same as a continuous flow of water is called water stream, in the same way input and output flow of data is called stream. Stream Java provides many input and output stream classes which are used to read and write. Streams are of two types. Byte Stream Character Stream Let's look at the two streams one by one. Byte Stream It is used in the input and output of byte. We do this with the help of different Byte stream classes. Two most commonly used Byte stream classes are FileInputStream and FileOutputStream. Some of the Byte stream classes are listed below. Byte Stream Description BufferedInputStream handles buffered input stream BufferedOutputStrea handles buffered output stream m FileInputStream used to read from a file FileOutputStream used to write to a file InputStream Abstract class that describe input stream OutputStream Abstract class that describe output stream Byte Stream Classes are in divided in two groups - InputStream Classes - These classes are subclasses of an abstract class, InputStream and they are used to read bytes from a source(file, memory or console). OutputStream Classes - These classes are subclasses of an abstract class, OutputStream and they are used to write bytes to a destination(file, memory or console). InputStream InputStream class is a base class of all the classes that are used to read bytes from a file, memory or console.

  • C++ Input/Output: Streams 4
    C++ Input/Output: Streams 4. Input/Output 1 The basic data type for I/O in C++ is the stream. C++ incorporates a complex hierarchy of stream types. The most basic stream types are the standard input/output streams: istream cin built-in input stream variable; by default hooked to keyboard ostream cout built-in output stream variable; by default hooked to console header file: <iostream> C++ also supports all the input/output mechanisms that the C language included. However, C++ streams provide all the input/output capabilities of C, with substantial improvements. We will exclusively use streams for input and output of data. Computer Science Dept Va Tech August, 2001 Intro Programming in C++ ©1995-2001 Barnette ND & McQuain WD C++ Streams are Objects 4. Input/Output 2 The input and output streams, cin and cout are actually C++ objects. Briefly: class: a C++ construct that allows a collection of variables, constants, and functions to be grouped together logically under a single name object: a variable of a type that is a class (also often called an instance of the class) For example, istream is actually a type name for a class. cin is the name of a variable of type istream. So, we would say that cin is an instance or an object of the class istream. An instance of a class will usually have a number of associated functions (called member functions) that you can use to perform operations on that object or to obtain information about it. The following slides will present a few of the basic stream member functions, and show how to go about using member functions.

  • Subtyping, Declaratively an Exercise in Mixed Induction and Coinduction
    Subtyping, Declaratively An Exercise in Mixed Induction and Coinduction Nils Anders Danielsson and Thorsten Altenkirch University of Nottingham Abstract. It is natural to present subtyping for recursive types coin- ductively. However, Gapeyev, Levin and Pierce have noted that there is a problem with coinductive definitions of non-trivial transitive inference systems: they cannot be \declarative"|as opposed to \algorithmic" or syntax-directed|because coinductive inference systems with an explicit rule of transitivity are trivial. We propose a solution to this problem. By using mixed induction and coinduction we define an inference system for subtyping which combines the advantages of coinduction with the convenience of an explicit rule of transitivity. The definition uses coinduction for the structural rules, and induction for the rule of transitivity. We also discuss under what condi- tions this technique can be used when defining other inference systems. The developments presented in the paper have been mechanised using Agda, a dependently typed programming language and proof assistant. 1 Introduction Coinduction and corecursion are useful techniques for defining and reasoning about things which are potentially infinite, including streams and other (poten- tially) infinite data types (Coquand 1994; Gim´enez1996; Turner 2004), process congruences (Milner 1990), congruences for functional programs (Gordon 1999), closures (Milner and Tofte 1991), semantics for divergence of programs (Cousot and Cousot 1992; Hughes and Moran 1995; Leroy and Grall 2009; Nakata and Uustalu 2009), and subtyping relations for recursive types (Brandt and Henglein 1998; Gapeyev et al. 2002). However, the use of coinduction can lead to values which are \too infinite”. For instance, a non-trivial binary relation defined as a coinductive inference sys- tem cannot include the rule of transitivity, because a coinductive reading of transitivity would imply that every element is related to every other (to see this, build an infinite derivation consisting solely of uses of transitivity).
