Because not every smartphone has a full 1080p resolution (yet), KDDI's
R&D Labs have come up with a new method for massaging the most out
of HD movie streams while on the move. You'll still be able to pummel
your poor mobile device and connection with the full-res stream,
should you wish it, but KDDI's innovation is in developing a system
whereby you can zoom in on particular parts of the feed, have the
stream cropped to your requirements on far-off servers somewhere, and
then receive only the stuff you want to see onto your device. And
because of your phone's aforementioned pixel deficiency, the
employment of this technique will most often result in negligible
picture fidelity loss, if any. The biggest benefit, however, might be
to carriers like KDDI who end up having to carry less data back and
forth, even if it does come at a slight server-side cost. Video after
the break.
