Sphericam 4K@60fps 360º video camera for VR
Posted by – October 12, 2015
4K recording of 360 video is very important for the recording of 360 video content for the VR video industry, as lower resolution 360 video content doesn’t look very good. Sphericam is the first fully spherical, 360º video camera that records 4K at 60fps that I have seen yet. It can film everything around with 6 image sensors, 6 lenses, 4 Microphones, 6 Micro SD Card Slots. It can do realtime stitching to internal memory at 30FPS in 4K, in 10 bit color, at 600 megabits per second. If you record to the 6 MicroSD cards it can record 60FPS 4K at up to 2.4gigabits per second. It can also live-stream the real-time stiched 360 degree 4K video or 6 unstiched videos at a bitrate of up to 100Mbit per second. All this sounds awesome, but the price is above $2000.

3D Audio Standard: ECMA-407 by Swissaudec
Posted by – October 12, 2015
Smart transmitting of 3D audio up to unrestricted NHK 22.2 sound, a problem Swissaudec solved with ECMA-407: NHK 22.2 sound is built with 24 channels, 22 speaker channels and 2 subwoofer channels, consuming 28’800kb/s bandwidth in PCM. With ECMA-407 Swissaudec provides the solution to compress this amout of data up to 600 times – holding the world record in audio compression! By internally multiplexing additional 2kb/s, they extend any HD 5.1 or 7.1 carrier to transmit UHD audio up to NHK 22.2. Swissaudec showcases NHK 22.2 satellite transmission over an MPEG-4 7.1 network at 256kb/s together with SES and France Télévision. Contrarily to non-backwards-compatible standalone standards like MPEG-H or ATSC, Swissaudec invisibly extends existing 2D structure by ECMA-407 to work seamlessly with any existing audio codec. This is also the reason why streaming NHK 22.2 audio with ECMA-407 requires no network changes, as a most efficient, smart and easy UHD audio solution, broadcasters can consider this upgrade for their sound.

Archos PicoWAN to cover the world with cheap bandwidth for IoT
Posted by – October 7, 2015
Category: Internet of Things, Archos
Archos unveils their plan to cover the world with cheap bandwidth for the Internet of Things using PicoWAN, Archos’s new ultra-low-cost long range IoT bandwidth adapter. People will get them for free by June 2016, to install in their own homes, and each PicoWAN has up to kilometers of range bandwidth for IoT devices into every neighborhood, worldwide. Archos estimates that 200 thousand of these units can cover the whole of Europe with connectivity for IoT.
– Is it on unlicensed 700mhz TV white spaces?
– Is there not enough bandwidth to also support a worldwide free broadband network for Smartphones and Tablets too?
– This is the future! I video-blogged FON wifi enthusiastically in last 10 years and their lack of range has been disappointing. As FON, anyone sharing bandwidth from their home should not only share 50% in revenue but also they should roam the world for free.
I possibly think it would be better for Archos PicoWAN to somehow provide free connectivity for everyone, free connectivity for every IoT device around the world, yet each device should be registered so they cannot use up all available bandwidth, some kind of throttling maybe is required within PicoWAN. Unlocking extra bandwidth should be possible for devices that need more bandwidth, but only if the bandwidth is available.
