Tech Paper 2022: This paper explores encoding strategies for video game live streaming, focusing on game-specific content, compression optimizations, and real-time efficiency.
Abstract
In recent years, live video-game-centric streaming platforms have experienced dramatic growth, driven by the explosion of the esports market. Besides, live-event rightsholders and broadcasters are successfully ‘gamifying’ their video offerings. Given the rise of video game live streaming, we address in this paper the questions of how to optimize and adapt the encoding strategies for efficient game content coding. We first characterize game content, focusing on how its signal characteristics differ from ‘natural’ content.
