MenuWhat is the best place to find numerical data to calculate the market potential of a High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) hardware project?
Answers
Consider doing an invention evaluation study. This can help you gauge overall consumer interest in your hardware, if indeed it's consumer facing. If it's not, then a full market study might be the way to go. However these studies are significantly more expensive. I'm happy to talk with you about managing either.
I have to say that to answer the question more fully would be a consultancy project... But I can give you some brief information.
You can find some brief information about consumer penetration in US: http://4k.com/news/4k-tv-sales-to-surpass-100-million-units-by-2018-5948/
Services available in 4K: http://www.wired.com/2015/02/live-4k-broadcasts/
Netflix is the only current service delivering 4k, with Amazon testing delivery. The trouble with it is the same as HD, though: a HD stream can be 10Kbps. The specification is useless: what counts is the lowest point of the data rate between source and viewer.
Looking at the H265 codec specifically, there is a major move to usurp this http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/2/9252753/alliance-for-open-media-next-generation-codec
Basically all hardware in the delivery chain needs replacing for 4k, so it's likely to take 6 - 10 years to become mainstream.
In my opinion the main argument for HEVC is to future proof content, but if it's not produced in 4K then there is little benefit.

What are some audio streaming solutions to monetize audio content?
This will depend heavily on what kind of audio content you're talking about and how you plan to drive awareness for it. Are you talking about a podcast, a heavy metal album, or an ASMR video of you eating ramen? They would all leverage very different platforms and monetization models. I used to run Earbits, a streaming music service backed by Y Combinator and designed to help artists and labels monetize their music. There aren't that many great options out there, but if you want to talk through your specific situation, feel free to touch base.JF

How to become great streamer !?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to become a great streamer depends on your individual playing style and what you're looking for in a stream. However, there are some general tips that can help you get started: 1. Practice consistently - The best way to improve your streaming skills is by practicing consistently. This means streaming at least once a week, if not more. By doing this, you'll improve your accuracy, reaction time, and overall gameplay. 2. Improve your audio quality - One of the most important things you can do when streaming is to improve your audio quality. This means using a good microphone, setting up a good sound system, and making sure that everything is cleaned up before hitting the upload button. 3. Practice your moves - One of the best ways to improve your streaming skills is to practice your moves. This means practicing how to do things like cast, emotes, and more. By doing this, you will not only become better at streaming, but also at communicating with your viewers. 4. Keep things interesting - If you want people to watch your stream, you need to make it interesting. This means having a varied stream schedule (not just gaming all the time!) and making sure that your content is engaging and well-made. 5. Be yourself - No matter what you do as a streamer, be yourself. If you're boring or uncomfortable on camera, people will quickly lose interest in watching your stream. Be prepared to put in the work in order to become great, but don't forget about the importance of having fun too! 6. Use feedback tools - One of the best ways to improve your streaming skills is to use feedback tools like Twitch chat or YouTube comments. By getting feedback from your viewers, you can fine-tune your content and improve your overall stream quality.RC
