Broadcasting first cloud computing platform landing: Cloud game into the first application

Let the ordinary set-top box to achieve high computing power, the idea is Beijing, Bo Yun Company a little into reality.

In late September, the first cloud computing platform in China was Nanjing, which is also the Boyun of the "video cloud computing value-added business platform".

"The use of cloud computing technology based large-scale application store model, through the set-top box to provide users with game entertainment, distance education, virtual reality and television business, office and other value-added services." "Depending on the Boyun CEO Han Jian describes the platform.

It is understood that the cloud computing value-added services platform to achieve cross-platform operation, covering a variety of media terminals, users do not need to replace the existing set-top box, you can use the TV to experience large-scale high-definition network games, television internet business, distance education, stock system operations and so on.

Before, the discussion about cloud computing concept is in full swing, also have some cloud structure method of practice, the application of real landing operation is very few. For the radio and television cloud computing industry is even more difficult.

By the end of last year, the national radio and television digital users have reached 120 million, but the interactive business has not been carried out, mainly because the set-top box terminal computing capacity is not enough.

For all the radio and television operators, because of the type of set-top box issued to users diverse, uneven performance, replacement cost high cycle. Under current conditions, it is unrealistic for operators to provide interactive services to users by upgrading their set-top box hardware. Video cloud computing technology can make up for the lack of terminal computing capacity, so that set-top boxes become intelligent.

It is understood that the platform can be video and audio flow calculation and coding in the cloud, the terminal for real-time decoding display output. The terminal can pass instructions to the cloud for application control. Terminal as long as the network access, video decoding and human-computer interaction capabilities.

In various applications, the "Wing Home" cloud game became the pioneer of the platform. The wing home cloud game platform launches "whirlwind", "The Dragon Valley", "The Gold miner", "fish" and so on 90 classic games.

After the landing of the platform, Nanjing residents do not need to purchase external game equipment, just use the home high-definition set-top box can experience large 3D games. Users do not need to download the installation software, that is, to play. Cloud computing technology helps the game run smoothly, the TV's big screen more perfect rendering game screen.

Reducing the content delay, achieving high quality and multi-user concurrency are the technical difficulties of cloud computing platform.

"These three aspects are contradictory, but must be improved," said Yang Weizhi, chief operating officer of the company. The company is also doing a little bit ahead. ”

Talking about why the game is the starting point, Yang Weizhi that the game is the easiest to foster the family users pay habits, after the introduction of games, operators to promote other cloud computing services, users will be easier to accept.

On the other hand, the game itself is easy to realize, foreign manufacturers of capital operation has reflected the value of the cloud game. Not long ago, Gaikai, a cloud gaming maker, had been wholly owned by Sony, and another cloud gaming platform, OnLive, was valued at $1.8 billion trillion. "These roaming scenes have been very hot and will usher in a burst in 3-4 years ' time." "Yang Weizhi said.

Yang Weizhi said that the "Wing home" cloud game operation for two months, users of the cloud game acceptance than the idea of better. User growth remains at around 500 people per day. In the past, users have only fixed cable TV fees, and now they can accept recharging on their cable TV account. A user single maximum recharge can reach 440 yuan, for the previous monthly cable TV cost is a breakthrough.

In the future, in addition to cloud games, the Boyun also wants to extend to other applications. "We will open the cloud computing platform to the content service providers, hoping to introduce more and more content to achieve upstream and downstream integration." "Yang Weizhi said.
