The net (compile/applies will) according to overseas media reports, on behalf of the future Game service development trend of the cloud computing game on demand platform OnLive, will be in the United States today to start the pre-sale dedicated mini mainframe, let us look at the price of 99 dollars (about 656 yuan) of the little guy has what function: First, Technical specifications and performance parameters of the volume is only slightly larger than the iPhone4, and the DS almost. Equipped with standard hundred Gigabit Ethernet interface and HDMI High Definition terminal interface, support video 1080P and 3D effect, audio dual channel output, next month will provide 5.1 channel upgrade update. The wireless connection standard between the host and the handle is IEEE 802.15.4 RF to ensure a low latency, with the keyboard and mouse operated with two USB connectors in addition to the handle. The host also has Bluetooth enabled to support peripherals such as Bluetooth headsets.　　The whole host is powered by two AA batteries, and the overall power consumption is only 6 W.

Third, the working principle and the host function is similar to the digital television on demand service, all game runs will be on the manufacturer's server, and then the running of the screen and sound effects through the network real-time transmission to the player's receiver, the mini host only to receive data and decoding the video function-if you do not want to spend money to buy a mini host, It can also be received via a PC or Mac download client, but the hardware compatibility effect does not necessarily work better than a mini host.　　And players only pay the corresponding on-demand fee can play to the right game.

And just experience the mini host's foreign editorial feedback, the game's screen effect is shocking, the equivalent of using the best liquid crystal display to watch the effect. But video compression is mixed, and "Assassin's Creed 2" and "Dust 2" look better than the original, and "Batman's Madhouse" and "Unreal Arena 3" look miserable. There is also a lag effect, although the game experience does not have much impact, and did not cause the phenomenon of drop frames, but still can feel. (Edit/Ming)
