Photo-Finish
A photo finish occurs in a sporting race when multiple competitors cross the finishing line at nearly the same time. As the naked eye may not be able to determine which of the competitors crossed the line first, a photo or video taken at the finish line may be used for a more accurate check. Photo finishes make it less likely that officials will declare a race a dead heat. Finish line photos are still used in nearly every modern racing sport. Although some sports use electronic equipment to track the racers during a race, a photo is considered the most important evidence in selecting the winner. They are especially important during close races, but they are also used to assign official times to each competitor during any race. Method of capture Strip photography Photo-finish cameras were developed during the 1940s and 1950s as a means of regulating the racing industry and to reduce cheating. Betting on races became increasingly popular during the middle decades of the twentieth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nvidia Shadowplay
Nvidia ShadowPlay is a hardware-accelerated screen recording utility available as part of Nvidia's GeForce Experience software for GeForce GPUs. Launched in 2013, it can be configured to record a continuous buffer, allowing the user to save the video retroactively. ShadowPlay is supported for any Nvidia GTX 600 series card or higher. Technical details ShadowPlay can use two capture methods: Frame Buffer Capture (NVFBC) and Inband Frame Readback (NVIFR). NVFBC is used in full screen mode. NVIFR allows the capture of a single window instead of the whole framebuffer. Once ShadowPlay captures a frame, it encodes it using a dedicated GPU hardware accelerated H.264 video encoder that records up to 4K resolution at 130 Mbit/s with minimal performance impact to the rest of the system. The bitrate can be set manually and ranges available depend on user screen resolution. Release Nvidia ShadowPlay originated in a Nvidia Shield hardware-accelerated screen recording utility. It was set to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
