The difference between H.265 and H.264 decoding encoding

1. H.265 vs H.264 Compression Ratio & Bandwidth UtilizationFor video services, the ultimate goal of compressing a movie is to reduce the size of the movie file, so that it can take up less storage space, reduce the network bandwidth consumption in transmission and increase streaming speed.Compared with H. 264, H. 265 has a higher H.265 compression ratio which is primarily used to further reduce the design flow rate, in order to lower the cost of storage and transmission.IIn other words, at the same quality of coding, H.265 provides more powerful tools like CTU to save around 50% of the bit rate, and the coding efficiency can be doubled than H. 264. For example, in H. 264, each macroblock is fixed to the size of 16 x16 pixels, but the coding unit of H.265 can be widely chosen from a minimum of 8 x 8 to the maximum of 64 x 64.2. H.265 vs H.264 QualityYou can also see how the two codecs affect video quality further from the picture below.0n the left hand side as the illustration shows is using traditional H.264 standard, and each macro block is fixed; In H. 264 coding technology, the giant sections of data is completely independent to each other, so coding distortion situations are likely to happen in border areas of the giant block.It is H. 265 standard on the right, the size of code unit is determined by the regional information. From the image contrast, we can see the video quality enhancement and the more delicate character’s skin H. 265 presents, which is much better than H. 264.3. H.264 vs H.265 File SizeThe size of a video is defined as duration and bit rate. On the basis of the experiment on H.265 vs H.264 file size, we find that bit reduction is inversely proportional to video image quality and also positive to file size. As H.265 encodes the same information with lower bitrates but the same video quality when compared with H264, it’s advisable to convert the video from H.264 to H.265 for saving more space.For example, a 132MB video compressed under H.264 will turn out to 37.7MB, while under H.265/HEVC the size of this is shrink to 17.4MB.

What is the difference between a Full HD LED TV and an Ultra HD LED TV?

What is the difference between a Full HD LED TV and an Ultra HD LED TV?What is Full HD (1080p)?Full HD displays have 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels tall on the screen. Compared to traditional 720p HD Ready displays these are capable of displaying more clearer and high-resolution picture frames. The display ratio for Full HD display will be 16:9, hence better for viewing wide frame videos or movies.What is Ultra HD Technology?Ultra HD 4K displays are of 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels tall (8.29 megapixels), which is almost four times more than the Full HD display. As the number of pixels is huge, the picture clarity will be at it’s best. These displays too have the 16:9 ratio and gives you the best movie/video watching experience.

Does the box pre-install XBMC?

What is an OTT TV Box?

      OTT stands for “over-the-top,” the term used for the delivery of video, audio, and other multimedia content via the internet without being governed by a traditional cable or satellite operator that controls the distribution of the content. An OTT tv box is the hardware device, which in this situation, replaces the traditional “set top” cable or satellite box with a device that allows the content to be streamed directly to a TV or display device. The most popular OTT tv boxes normally operate on the Android operating system extending the capabilities of the device even more by adding the ability to install and run applications that can be downloaded and installed from any location including app stores like the Google Play Store.
