Beam pro ftl

Live streaming platform Beam.pro is the chief competitor to Twitch.tv, offering industry-leading low latency that enables the streamer and viewer to communicate in near real time.Microsoft announced in October that Beam integration was on the way for Windows 10 and Xbox One, and December is the first step along that journey. Here's everything you need to know.Update: We mistakenly wrote that Beam for Xbox would go live with this update. That will happen later this winter, but it's not quite ready yet. Apologies for the mix up.Matt Salsamendi, who leads the Beam efforts, shared a whole raft of new features combing to the platform, including speed improvements, new website features and more."We're no longer the scrappy startup we were last year, and with the resources of Microsoft behind us, we're going back to the basics and evaluating how we can make every aspect of the site more smooth, stable, and epic. Today, I'm extremely excited to announce that Pro users can begin testing an entirely new version of Beam, written from the ground up with scale in mind."Starting on December 20th, Pro users and Beam Partners will be able to opt-in to test Beam 2.0 in beta, ahead of a public roll out. Here's a run down of the features.FTL for XSplit, OBS and Restream.ioThe first new feature is FTL for all streamers. "FTL" is Beam's super-fast streaming solution, presently available only via the Tachyon OBS client for PC. Now, popular streaming solutions XSplit and OBS are releasing updates that will support Beam's FTL servers. Restream.io — which is a popular solution for streaming to Beam and Twitch simultaneously — will also support Beam's FTL features.New DesignBeam.pro will also pick up a new website design, complete with a new logo, new animations, and more "consistent styling" across the interface. Additionally, Beam 2.0 will repair one of the biggest complaints about the site so far — web performance on the lower end — by giving the site "insane" performance speed. Site load speed has been increased by five times over, with 60 FPS capabilities for the web player, and a much-improved mobile experience for Microsoft Edge.All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.Beam.pro will also pick up a new homepage, with the ability to feature multiple content creators and scheduled events. Beam will also be able to feature mature streams to authenticated 18+ users on this new home page, while additionally surfacing improvements for displaying a streamer's information. The website will also pick up localization for 26 other languages, and feature closed captions, improvements for those with colorblindness, with screen reader and keyboard navigation support.Chat panels will also improve, with visual enhancements to voting, emote auto-completion, new

Zoltan Shield is an augmentation that grants energy shielding which protects ship's standard shields, hull, and crew from any damage until it is depleted. Zoltan Shields are also called Zoltan Super Shields, Zoltan Energy Shield or just Super Shields."An unexplained technology creates this nearly impenetrable shield. Only the energy outbursts from an FTL engine are powerful enough to recharge it."Zoltan Shield has 5 points of energy shielding that absorbs any kind of damage from all weapon types and hazards.Ion weapons deal double damage to Zoltan Shields.Beam weapons deal damage to Zoltan Shields in 2 ticks, thus doubling their base damage.Damage is unaffected by how many rooms are 'hit'.Anti-Bio Beam, Fire Beam, and Artillery Beam deal 2 damage in total.Aiming Hull Beam at systemless rooms will not increase damage to Zoltan Shields.Glaive Beam is the only beam weapon that can remove Zoltan Shield in one swipe and still potentially damage the ship.Anti-Ship Beam Drone I and Anti-Ship Fire Drone deal 1 damage, while Anti-Ship Beam Drone II deals 2 damage.If Zoltan Shield is destroyed while the swipe is not over yet, the beam will continue its swipe against regular shields or ship's hull (if regular shields are suppressed).Fire Bomb, Crystal Lockdown Bomb, Healing Burst, and Repair Burst have no effect on Zoltan Shields.Upon making an FTL jump, Zoltan Shields are completely recharged.Enemy Zoltan Shields are replenished upon revisiting the beacon.Zoltan Shields prevent boarding, hacking, and mind control. Exceptions:Boarding events (including those with enemy ship present; only initial boarding party bypasses the Zoltan Shields).Zoltan Shield Bypass augmentation allows crew and bomb teleportation and mind control to work through Zoltan Shields. (Advanced Edition Content)Boarding and hacking drones will be destroyed upon contact with a Zoltan Shield and won't deal any damage to it.Can be acquired by any ship through the Zoltan Cruiser unlock event, even if the Zoltan Cruiser has already been unlocked or the augmentation was sold or swapped away in case of an item (augmentation) capacity overflow.All Zoltan Cruisers start with this augmentation.Phase 3 of the Rebel Flagship uses a more powerful version of Zoltan Shield (12 health points).Shield Overcharger drone will regularly add 1 point of Zoltan Shield over time. It takes longer to add layers depending on how many layers are already present, going from 8s at 0 layers up to 20s at 4 layers.

Starting today, Beam.pro will be no more. Beam will now be known as "Mixer," or "Mixer.com," as Microsoft asserts its intentions to take on Amazon's Twitch.tv at a global level.The intent behind the Mixer brand is to emphasize the community aspects of the service across Xbox Live and Windows 10. Soon you will also be "mix" your stream with up to three friends, according to Microsoft, combining four feeds, and four chat channels into a single stream. But wait, that's not all!Co-streaming, Xbox One dashboard pageLeveraging Mixer's industry-leading low latency, co-streams utilizing Mixer's faster than light (FTL) stream protocol will display in near-real time to viewers, providing a brand new perspective on cooperative streaming. Naturally, the implications for collaborative play and eSports spectating is huge, and because Mixer is connected directly to Xbox Live and Windows 10, it gives Microsoft a unique opportunity to get a leg up on Twitch.Additionally, Mixer will soon be directly integrated into the Xbox One dashboard, under a new page to the right of the home screen. Here, Microsoft will display content and coverage from across the service, whether it's popular and trending streamers, or eSports channels featuring Gears of War, Forza, and Halo.In the future, you should expect Xbox (and maybe even Windows and Surface) to begin using Mixer as the exclusive location of its future live streams.New apps for iOS and Android (and maybe Windows?)Mixer will also debut a new app, called "Mixer Create," which is the service's take on mobile screen streaming and live feed streaming. Users will be able to stream their camera directly to Mixer, similar to Twitter's Periscope service, broadcasting live across Xbox, the respective Mixer apps, and the Mixer website. It will also leverage Mixer's FTL codec, making it far faster than competing services.We asked about the possibility of Mixer Create hitting Windows 10 phones in the future, but as you might expect, it's not in the company's immediate plans. Xbox is going where the users are first, which sadly, isn't Windows 10 Mobile.All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.E3 2017 and the futureCo-streaming might require FTL, but Beam told us that the upload speed needed to achieve FTL is decreasing all the time. The service is activating new servers on a routine basis, as demand swells from users across Windows 10 and Xbox Live. (Let's not forget that Project Scorpio will also

Of those. Plus, not all mobile games offer controller support. If you want to increase your chances of controller support, you can stick to accessing specific game services like Xbox Game Pass games while using Beam Pro and XREAL glasses. XREAL Beam Pro: CompetitionThe XREAL Beam is the less expensive precursor to the Beam Pro. (Image credit: XREAL)Really, the only true competitor to the Beam Pro also comes from XREAL in the form of the XREAL Beam. As you can tell by the naming convention, this is the precursor accessory to the Beam Pro, but it's different in that it doesn't have a screen nor does it have cameras; this, of course, means that it cannot record 3D videos. The lack of these features makes this accessory cost significantly less than the Beam Pro. At the time of writing, the XREAL Beam is selling for $119.00 at Amazon. XREAL Beam Pro: Should you buy it?The XREAL Beam Pro is easy to tote around and use. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)✅ You should buy it if...You want to save phone battery life while using AR glasses: Overall, the Beam Pro is a great little device that takes the place of your phone when using XREAL glasses, so you don't have to worry about it depleting mobile juice.

You want an inexpensive smart device with a screen: Seriously, this is a very low price for mobile-like gadget. So even if you don't care about the 3D aspects and just want a Wi-Fi smart device, this is an affordable option. ❌ You should not buy it if...You tend to use XREAL glasses

8, but it doesn't support XREAL glasses. To resolve these issues, the AR glasses company developed the Beam Pro, a separate accessory that can run millions of apps without pulling power from your phone. While it looks and behaves much like a smartphone, the Beam Pro is actually an inexpensive spatial computer that is equipped with dual cameras for the purpose of taking 3D videos and photos. I spent over a week using the XREAL Beam Pro with a pair of XREAL Air 2 Pro glasses (as seen in our XREAL Air 2 Pro review). During that time, I used various apps, played games, and took 3D videos of my pets. Here's what I think about XREAL's spatial computer accessory.DisclaimerThis XREAL Beam Pro review unit was provided by XREAL.

Pro to see how affordable the Beam Pro is. Even in terms of a phone, the Beam Pro doesn't cost that much for the configurations offered. We've already seen the memory and storage options, but what about other Beam Pro specs? XREAL's accessory comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with an Adreno 710 mobile GPU. One of the standout features on this phone-like device are the dual cameras on the back. They allow the Beam Pro to capture 3D videos in 4K. Meanwhile, the screen itself is a 6.5-inch LCD touchscreen that supports 2K and reaches up to a 90Hz refresh rate. There are two ports on the bottom of the Beam Pro. One is dedicated to XREAL glasses, while the other can be used to charge the device or connect other accessories to it. You can even charge up your phone by connecting it to the XREAL Beam Pro's USB-C port. XREAL ships the Beam Pro to US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Czech, China, Japan, and Korea. The company also has plans to ship to additional locations in the future.
