pos: Spider-Man Spider-Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics . The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko , and first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy # 15 ( Aug. 1962 ) in the Silver Age of Comic Books . Lee and Ditko conceived the character as an orphan being raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben , and as a teenager , having to deal with the normal struggles of adolescence in addition to those of a costumed crime-fighter . Spider-Man 's creators gave him super strength and agility , the ability to cling to most surfaces , shoot spider-webs using wrist-mounted devices of his own invention , which he calls `` web-shooters '' , and react to danger quickly with his `` spider-sense '' , enabling him to combat his foes .   When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s , teenagers in superhero comic books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick to the protagonist . The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker , the high school student behind Spider-Man 's secret identity and with whose `` self-obsessions with rejection , inadequacy , and loneliness '' young readers could relate . While Spider-Man had all the makings of a sidekick , unlike previous teen heroes such as Bucky and Robin , Spider-Man had no superhero mentor like Captain America and Batman ; he thus had to learn for himself that `` with great power there must also come great responsibility '' -- a line included in a text box in the final panel of the first Spider-Man story but later retroactively attributed to his guardian , the late Uncle Ben .   Marvel has featured Spider-Man in several comic book series , the first and longest-lasting of which is titled The Amazing Spider-Man . Over the years , the Peter Parker character has developed from shy , nerdy New York City high school student to troubled but outgoing college student , to married high school teacher to , in the late 2000s , a single freelance photographer . In the 2010s , he joins the Avengers , Marvel 's flagship superhero team . Spider-Man 's nemesis Doctor Octopus also took on the identity for a story arc spanning 2012 -- 2014 , following a body swap plot in which Peter appears to die . Separately , Marvel has also published books featuring alternate versions of Spider-Man , including Spider-Man 2099 , which features the adventures of Miguel O'Hara , the Spider-Man of the future ; Ultimate Spider-Man , which features the adventures of a teenaged Peter Parker in an alternate universe ; and Ultimate Comics Spider-Man , which depicts the teenager Miles Morales , who takes up the mantle of Spider-Man after Ultimate Peter Parker 's supposed death .   Spider-Man is one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes . As Marvel 's flagship character and company mascot , he has appeared in countless forms of media , including several animated and live action television series , syndicated newspaper comic strips , and in a series of films . The character was first portrayed in live action by Danny Seagren in Spidey Super Stories , a The Electric Company skit which ran from 1974 to 1977 . In films , Spider-Man has been portrayed by actors Tobey Maguire ( 2002 -- 2007 ) and Andrew Garfield ( 2012 -- 2014 ) , while Tom Holland portrays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , first appearing in Captain America : Civil War in 2016 . Reeve Carney starred as Spider-Man in the 2010 Broadway musical Spider-Man : Turn Off the Dark .

neg: Galactus Galactus is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics . Formerly a mortal man , Galactus is a cosmic entity who originally consumed planets to sustain his life force , and serves a functional role in the upkeep of the primary Marvel continuity . Galactus was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in the comic book Fantastic Four # 48 , published in March 1966 .   Lee and Kirby had desired to introduce a character that broke away from the archetype of the standard villain , culminating in the creation of Galactus . In the character 's first appearance Galactus was depicted as a god-like figure who feeds by draining living planets of their energy , and operates without regard to the morality and judgements of mortal beings . Galactus ' initial origin was that of a space explorer named Galan who gained cosmic abilities by passing near a star , but writer Mark Gruenwald further developed the origin of the character , revealing that Galan lived during the previous universe . As Galan 's universe came to an end , Galan merged with the `` Sentience of the Universe '' to become Galactus , an entity that wielded such cosmic power as to require devouring entire planets to sustain his existence . Additional material written by John Byrne , Jim Starlin , and Louise Simonson explored Galactus ' role and purpose in the Marvel Universe , and examined the actions of the character through themes of genocide , manifest destiny , ethics , and natural/necessary existence . Frequently accompanied by a herald ( such as the Silver Surfer ) , the character has appeared as both antagonist and protagonist in central and supporting roles . Since debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books , Galactus has played a role in over five decades of Marvel continuity .   The character has been featured in other Marvel media , such as arcade games , video games , animated television series , and the 2007 film Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer .   In 2009 , Galactus ranked 5th on IGN 's list of `` Top 100 Comic Book Villains '' , citing the character 's `` larger than life presence '' as making him one of the more important villains ever created . IGN also noted `` Galactus is one of the few villains on our list to really defy the definition of an evil-doer '' as the character is compelled to destroy worlds because of his hunger .

Tom DeFalco , who had left months earlier with his Spider-Man : Identity Crisis storyline , had originally intended Peter and Mary Jane 's daughter , May Parker , to be returned to them by Kaine ( this story thread was later used as the branching point for the MC2 ) , but Mackie and Byrne insisted they have the older May revived so she could fit into their new relaunch .

neg: Events from the Modern Age of Comic Books One of the key aspects of the Modern Age of Comic Books was that it was the beginning of big events . In 1984 , Marvel Comics debuted the first large crossover , Secret Wars , a storyline featuring the company 's most prolific superheroes , which overlapped into a 12-issue limited series and many monthly comic books . A year later , DC Comics introduced its first large scale crossover , Crisis on Infinite Earths , which had long-term effects on the `` DC Universe '' continuity .   In the early and mid-1990s , big events were regularly published by Marvel and DC , often leading to extra publicity and sales . These events helped fend-off competition from Image Comics , and such events were more likely to become `` collector 's items . '' Some events , such as DC 's `` Zero Hour '' and Marvel 's `` Onslaught saga '' spanned a publisher 's entire line while others only affected a `` family '' of interrelated titles . The X-Men and Batman franchises featured crossovers almost annually .   Some of the most significant mid-1990s events , such as Spider-Man 's `` Clone Saga , '' Batman 's `` Batman : Knightfall '' and particularly , `` The Death of Superman '' caused dramatic changes to long-running characters and received coverage in the mainstream media .   These events led to significant sales boosts and publicity , but many fans began to criticize them as excessive and lacking compelling storytelling . They also complained that monthly series had become inaccessible because one had to follow a number of comics to understand the full storyline . By the end of the 1990s , the number of large crossovers decreased , but they were still launched sporadically .

neg: Death's Head Death 's Head is a fictional character appearing in British comics and American comic books published by Marvel Comics . The character is depicted as a robotic bounty hunter ( or rather , as he calls himself , a `` freelance peace-keeping agent '' ) . The character was created by writer Simon Furman and artist Geoff Senior for the company 's Marvel UK imprint . Furman decided to use Death 's Head in his Transformers stories , but believed that characters appearing in Transformers `` were prone to be absorbed into that title 's catchall copyright '' ( allowing Hasbro to contest their ownership ) and led to a one-page strip titled `` High Noon Tex '' ( which was subsequently published in various Marvel UK titles ) being hastily created to establish Marvel 's ownership of the character . Furman has stated that he chose the name Death 's Head for the character while unaware of the `` Nazi-connotations of the name '' .   The character was later redesigned and relaunched as Death 's Head II , acting as one of the flagship characters for Marvel UK 's 1990s expansion . This version of Death 's Head also inspired two spin-off characters , Death Wreck and Death Metal , each of which starred in its own limited series .   Later , in 2005 , fans used a poll on Marvel 's website to vote for the character 's return . This led to a third version of Death 's Head , Death 's Head 3.0 , created by original Death 's Head writer Simon Furman . Simon Furman said in 2011 that the character was still popular because `` he 'll never change or compromise or grow or repent or agonise like most comic book characters . He 's this unchanging , uncompromising rock that other characters bounce off . But you still kind of love him . Weird . ''

Fawcett expanded the franchise to include other `` Marvels '' , primarily Marvel Family associates Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr. , who can harness Billy 's powers as well . Captain Marvel was also the first comic book superhero to be adapted into film , in a 1941 Republic Pictures serial titled Adventures of Captain Marvel .   Fawcett ceased publishing Captain Marvel-related comics in 1953 , partly because of a copyright infringement suit from DC Comics , alleging that Captain Marvel was a copy of Superman . In 1972 , DC licensed the Marvel Family characters from Fawcett , and returned them to publication . By 1991 , DC had acquired all rights to the characters . DC has since integrated Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family into their DC Universe and has attempted to revive the property several times , with mixed success . Due to trademark conflicts over another character named `` Captain Marvel '' owned by Marvel Comics since 1967 , DC chose to publish the character 's adventures in a comic book titled Shazam ! for many years , leading many to assume that this was the character 's name . DC later officially renamed the character `` Shazam '' when relaunching its comic book properties in 2011 .   In addition , since 1972 , the character has been featured in two television series adaptations , one live action and one animated , by Filmation , and an upcoming Warner Bros. . Shazam ! feature film scheduled for release in 2019 as part of the DC Extended Universe . Captain Marvel was ranked as the 55th greatest comic book character of all time by Wizard magazine . IGN also ranked Captain Marvel as the 50th greatest comic book hero of all time , stating that the character will always be an enduring reminder of a simpler time . UGO Networks ranked him as one of the top heroes of entertainment , saying , `` At his best , Shazam has always been Superman with a sense of crazy , goofy fun '' .

neg: Demons Three Abnegazar , Rath and Ghast are three fictional characters in the DC Universe who are collectively known as the Demons Three .

neg: Trio (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) The Trio is a group of three fictional characters in the sixth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , who serve as the villains of the season . They continually strive to neutralize Buffy , the Slayer , and thus the primary obstacle to their ultimate goal of taking over Sunnydale . Though initially comic relief and little more than a nuisance to the Scooby Gang , they take a darker turn by the episode `` Dead Things '' . Most of their schemes combine science and mysticism , and they are able to avoid detection by the Scoobies ( who merely assume their conducts to be the doings of demons ) until halfway through the season .   The Trio was formed by Warren Mears , technology expert ; Andrew Wells , summoner of demons ; and Jonathan Levinson , caster of spells . Jonathan was a long time recurring character , having first appeared in season 2 , and was a friendly acquaintance of the Scooby Gang , and Warren had appeared twice in season 5 . While Andrew had never been seen on the show before , his brother was in `` The Prom '' episode , and Andrew often speaks of the time he summoned flying demon monkeys to the school production of Romeo and Juliet , of which Buffy and the Scoobies have no recollection .   The three of them begin season 6 as good friends . Tired of being pushed around , they resolve to combine their expertise and `` take over Sunnydale '' as equal partners . As the stakes rise , the power shifts and Warren gradually dominates the group . Though Jonathan and Andrew lack the malice and hatred of true villains , Warren eventually reveals his true colors as a violent misogynist capable of murder . The Trio is continually thwarted by Buffy , and none of their actions make any name for themselves in Sunnydale 's mystical underground , as revealed in `` Villains '' . The group is ultimately disbanded when , after a face-off with Buffy , Warren flees and leaves Andrew and Jonathan to take the fall with the police .


query: Xbox One contains support for 4K video playback and upscaling.

pos: Xbox One Xbox One is a line of home video game consoles developed by Microsoft . Announced in May 2013 , it is the successor to Xbox 360 and the third console in the Xbox family . It was first released in North America , parts of Europe , Australia , and Brazil in November 2013 , and in Japan , China , and other European countries in September 2014 . It is the first Xbox game console to be released in China , specifically in the Shanghai Free-Trade Zone . Microsoft marketed the device as an `` all-in-one entertainment system '' . The Xbox One line mainly competes against consoles such as Sony 's PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 's Wii U as part of the eighth generation of video game consoles .   Moving away from its predecessor 's PowerPC-based architecture , Xbox One marks a shift back to the x86 architecture used in the original Xbox ; it features an AMD Accelerated Processing Unit ( APU ) built around the x86-64 instruction set . Xbox One 's controller was redesigned over the Xbox 360 's , with a redesigned body , D-pad and triggers capable of delivering directional haptic feedback . The console places an increased emphasis on cloud computing , as well as social networking features , and the ability to record and share video clips or screenshots from gameplay , or live-stream directly to streaming services such as Mixer and Twitch . Games can also be played off-console via a local area network on supported Windows 10 devices . The console can play Blu-ray Disc , and overlay live television programming from an existing set-top box or a digital tuner for digital terrestrial television with an enhanced program guide . The console optionally included a redesigned Kinect sensor , marketed as the `` Kinect 2.0 '' , providing improved motion tracking and voice recognition for use in its graphical user interface ( GUI ) and games .   Xbox One received mostly positive reception for its refined controller design , multimedia features , and voice navigation . Its quieter and cooler design was praised for making the console more reliable than its predecessor on-launch , but the console was generally criticized for running games at a technically lower graphical level than the PlayStation 4 . Its original user interface was panned for being nonintuitive , although changes made to it and other aspects of the console 's software post-launch received positive reception . Its Kinect received praise for its improved motion-tracking accuracy , its face recognition logins , and its voice commands .   In August 2016 , Microsoft released a refreshed Xbox One model known as Xbox One S ; it has a streamlined design , native support for 4K video playback and upscaling , and HDR10 high-dynamic-range color . It was praised for its smaller size , its on-screen visual improvements , and its lack of an external power supply , but its regressions such as the lack of a native Kinect port were noted . A future hardware revision codenamed `` Project Scorpio '' is scheduled for late-2017 ; it will feature major hardware upgrades focused on enabling 4K gameplay and support for virtual reality hardware , and will be backward compatible with all existing Xbox One software and hardware .

neg: Media Foundation Media Foundation ( MF ) is a COM-based multimedia framework pipeline and infrastructure platform for digital media in Windows Vista , Windows 7 , Windows 8 , Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 . It is the intended replacement for Microsoft DirectShow , Windows Media SDK , DirectX Media Objects ( DMOs ) and all other so-called `` legacy '' multimedia APIs such as Audio Compression Manager ( ACM ) and Video for Windows ( VfW ) . The existing DirectShow technology is intended to be replaced by Media Foundation step-by-step , starting with a few features . For some time there will be a co-existence of Media Foundation and DirectShow . Media Foundation will not be available for previous Windows versions , including Windows XP .   The first release , present in Windows Vista , focuses on audio and video playback quality , high-definition content ( i.e. HDTV ) , content protection and a more unified approach for digital data access control for digital rights management ( DRM ) and its interoperability . It integrates DXVA 2.0 for offloading more of the video processing pipeline to hardware , for better performance . Videos are processed in the colorspace they were encoded in , and are handed off to the hardware , which composes the image in its native colorspace . This prevents intermediate colorspace conversions to improve performance . MF includes a new video renderer , called Enhanced Video Renderer ( EVR ) , which is the next iteration of VMR 7 and 9 . EVR has better support for playback timing and synchronization . It uses the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service ( MMCSS ) , a new service that prioritizes real time multimedia processing , to reserve the resources required for the playback , without any tearing or glitches .   The second release included in Windows 7 introduces expanded media format support and DXVA HD for acceleration of HD content if WDDM 1.1 drivers are used .

neg: Multi-Choice TV (Barbados) Multi-Choice TV ( MCTV ) is a television service provider in Barbados . It is a Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service ( MMDS ) or DVB-C wireless microwave-based broadcast subscription television provider . They offer a variety of packages which can be considered as comparatively priced to similar providers throughout the world . The service began operating on December 14 , 1987 under the name Subscription Television ( STV ) , which had very few channels offered . The main channels were CNN , ESPN , and Lifetime Television , with an occasional option of pay per view ( PPV ) being offered for local special events and the occasional international PPV sports broadcast . In 1996 it was upgraded to include a new platform called Multi-Choice TV which was an analog wireless microwave broadcast offering many more channels ( e.g. , BBC , Canada 's CBC , TBN ) eventually maxing the bandwidth capacity and having to upgrade the service to a digital broadcast system . Multi-Choice TV have not fully converted all of its subscribers yet . The system relies on line-of-sight propagation so total island wide coverage have proved to be a problem and the provider is looking into alternatives . A recent press release have indicated their interest in a partnership with the local telco LIME . From 1 September 2008 MCTV replaced the Travel Channel on 511 ( part of the High Flyer package ) by Setanta Sports .   The service uses a Yagi antenna to receive the encrypted broadcast , which in turn is then decrypted by the provider 's set top box . The provider now has the problem of signal theft by pirates using modified DVB-C compatible receivers and PCI cards with the most popular being the `` Dreambox '' manufactured in Germany to decode their signal which is based on Nagravision which is a conditional access control system developed by the Kudelski Group . In order to prevent such activity in August , 2006 the Government of Barbados stiffened the local Barbadian copyright laws , in addition to a strengthening of the laws on cable TV piracy . The CBC provider is planning for further circumvention of the Dream boxes in 2009 . In 2014 MCTV have gone through a massive upgrade of improving their services by including new channels such as MovieCity Action and Hollywood , AMC , KTLA , WGN , Disney , NBC Sports network etc. . Also MCTV have upgraded their systems to 20 stunning HD channels such as ABC , NBC , CBS & FOX and have also added new PVR boxes . MCTV new slogan is MCTV the Right Choice and are increasing their channel line ups and packaging for their loyal customers in Barbados . MCTV is still the number 1 provider in Barbados but they have competition from Lime Barbados and Flow , but the advantage MCTV has is , it does not depend on the internet to provide single for their customers and when there is rainy and cloudy condition MCTV still provides good service .   Multi-Choice TV also competes against the US-based direct broadcast satellite ( DBS ) service provider DirecTV in Barbados .   The service uses the NTSC television format .

neg: List of Xbox games compatible with Xbox 360 This is a list of Xbox games that are compatible with the console 's successor , the Xbox 360 . Microsoft ceased adding titles to the list in November 2007 , so the list is considered final . As of April 2010 , original Xbox games no longer can be played online via the Xbox Live service , as it was ended for the original Xbox console . However , online multiplayer still is possible through third-party LAN Tunneling programs that manipulate System Link , such as XLink Kai . Downloadable content for these titles is not available via Xbox Live . This includes the Xbox Originals downloaded on the Xbox 360 and any Xbox game running on the Xbox 360 .

neg: Broadcast Driver Architecture The Broadcast Driver Architecture ( BDA ) is a Microsoft standard for digital video capture on Microsoft Windows operating systems . It encompasses the ATSC and DVB standards and gives developers a standardized method of accessing TV tuner devices ( usually PCI , PCI-E or USB ) . It is the driver component of Microsoft TV Technologies , and is used by hardware vendors to create digital TV tuning devices for Windows , and also to support new network types or custom hardware functionality . BDA is documented in the Windows DDK ( Driver Development Kit ) and the Platform SDK . Ideally , any BDA-compliant software should be compatible with any BDA-compliant hardware .   Applications using BDA drivers include Web TV for Windows ( built into Windows 98 and Windows Me ) , Windows XP Media Center Edition , MediaPortal , GB-PVR , DVBViewer , ULENet and several such other third-party solutions .   Broadcast Driver Architecture was introduced in Windows 98 as part of the Windows Driver Model .

neg: Game controller A game controller is a device used with games or entertainment systems to provide input to a video game , typically to control an object or character in the game . A controller is usually connected to a game console or computer by means of a wire or cord , although , since the mid-2000s , wireless controllers have become widespread . Input devices that have been classified as game controllers include keyboards , mouses , gamepads , joysticks , etc. . Special purpose devices , such as steering wheels for driving games and light guns for shooting games , are also game controllers .   Game controllers have been designed and improved over the years to be as user friendly as possible . The Microsoft Xbox controller , with its shoulder triggers that mimic actual triggers such as those found on guns , has become popular for shooting games . Some controllers are designed to be deliberately best for one type of game , such as steering wheels for driving games , or dance pads for dancing games .   One of the first video game controllers was a simple dial and single button , used to control the game Tennis for Two . Controllers have since evolved to include directional pads , multiple buttons , analog sticks , joysticks , motion detection , touch screens and a plethora of other features .

neg: Surround Video Surround Video was a Microsoft technology , announced as a competitor , to Apple 's QuickTime VR for creating panoramic 360-degree 3D images . It was evaluated by reviewers as an equal to Quicktime VR . Despite never having shipped as an actual end-user product , Microsoft released a Surround Video ActiveX control .   The Surround Video control was used by websites such as CarPoint and Expedia . It also ships as part of Encarta encyclopedia where it is used for panoramic interactivities .   A somewhat similar modern initiative by Microsoft is Microsoft Live Labs Photosynth .

neg: MotionSports MotionSports is a sports video game released for the Xbox 360 on March 5 , 2016 by Ubisoft . It was one of the first games released for use with the Kinect motion sensing device , originally developed by iPad developer Lesane Curtis . Its sales seem to have been acceptable , in the all formats UK top 40 . Sales peaked during the first week of release when it debuted in at number 15 . Whereas in the Xbox 360 UK top 40 , its peak was at number 5 , also on its first week . Reviews have been mainly mixed for the game , it got a Metacritic score of 40/100 based on 30 critics , main complaints were that it was unresponsive and unpolished .

neg: Xbox Exhibition disks Xbox Exhibition was a game demo compilation series from Microsoft Game Studios to advertise and preview upcoming Xbox games . The discs contained several playable game demos , game trailers , video content from G4 TV , music videos , and music from indie artists which were downloadable to the Xbox 's hard drive .   With the advent of the Xbox 360 , distribution of demos switched to free downloads from the Xbox Live Marketplace . In total there were seven Xbox Exhibition discs released over two years . The last release was volume 7 in December 2004 .

neg: TvOS tvOS is an operating system developed by Apple Inc. for the fourth-generation Apple TV digital media player . tvOS was announced on September 9 , 2015 at the Apple September 2015 event , alongside the 4th generation Apple TV . On October 26 , 2015 , 4th generation Apple TV pre-orders began , and shipments began the following week . At the Apple September 2015 Event , Hipster Whale 's Andy Sum demoed Crossy Road for the Apple TV , available via the tvOS App Store . Apple also announced that other apps ( such as Netflix and HBO Now ) would be coming to the Apple TV running tvOS .   tvOS is based on iOS heavily rather than just the stripped-down versions of iOS that the operating systems for the 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TV are . The 4th generation Apple TV , with support for third-party software via an App Store , was rumored prior to the Apple September 2015 Event held on September 9 , 2015 .

neg: XvYCC xvYCC or Extended-gamut YCC ( also x.v.Color ) is a color space that can be used in the video electronics of television sets to support a gamut 1.8 times as large as that of the sRGB color space . xvYCC was proposed by Sony , specified by the IEC in October 2005 and published in January 2006 as IEC 61966-2-4 .   xvYCC was motivated by the fact that modern display and capture technologies often have underlying RGB primaries with significantly higher saturation than the traditional CRT displays , allowing them to handle a wider color gamut . But these devices have been unable to do this without upsetting basic calibration , as all existing video storage and transmission systems are based on CRT primaries , and are hence limited to the CRT gamut .   xvYCC-encoded video retains the same color primaries and white point as BT .709 , and uses either a BT .601 or BT .709 RGB-to-YCC conversion matrix and encoding . This allows it to travel through existing digital YCC data paths , and any colors within the normal gamut will be compatible .   The xvYCC color space permits YCC values that , while within the encoding range of YCC , have chroma values outside the range 16 -- 240 , or that correspond to negative RGB values , and hence would not have previously been valid . These are used to encode more saturated colors . For example , a cyan that lies outside the basic gamut of the primaries can be encoded as `` green plus blue minus red '' .   These extra-gamut colors can then be displayed by a device whose underlying technology is not limited by the standard primaries .   In a paper published by Society for Information Display in 2006 , the authors mapped the 769 colors in the Munsell Color Cascade to the BT .709 space and to the xvYCC space . 55 % of the Munsell colors could be mapped to the sRGB gamut , but 100 % of those colors could map to the xvYCC gamut . Deeper hues can be created -- for example a deeper red by giving the opposing color ( cyan ) a negative coefficient .   A mechanism for signaling xvYCC support and transmitting the gamut boundary definition for xvYCC has been defined in the HDMI 1.3 Specification . No new mechanism is required for transmitting the xvYCC data itself , as it is compatible with HDMI 's existing YCbCr formats , but the display needs to signal its readiness to accept the extra-gamut xvYCC values , and the source needs to signal the actual gamut in use to help the display to intelligently adapt extreme colors to its own gamut limitations .   This should not be confused with HDMI 1.3 's other new color feature , deep color . This is a separate feature that increases the precision of brightness and color information , and is independent of xvYCC .   xvYCC is not supported by DVD-Video but is supported by the high-definition recording format AVCHD and PlayStation 3 .   On January 7 , 2013 , Sony announced that it would release `` Mastered in 4K '' Blu-ray Disc titles which are sourced at 4K and encoded at 1080p . `` Mastered in 4K '' Blu-ray Disc titles can be played on existing Blu-ray Disc players and will support a larger color space using xvYCC .   On May 30 , 2013 , Eye IO announced that their encoding technology was licensed by Sony Pictures Entertainment to deliver 4K Ultra HD video . Eye IO encodes their video assets at 3840 x 2160 and includes support for the xvYCC color space .

neg: Portable Media Center Portable Media Center ( PMC ) is a defunct hard drive-based portable media player ( PMP ) platform developed by Microsoft . Announced at the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show ( CES ) , and released in early 2004 , it was originally positioned as a competitor to Apple 's iPod .   The platform was conceived in line with Microsoft 's Windows Media Center strategy , where the idea was to have a single media management interface that would be used on both PCs and in consumer devices , including televisions and handhelds . The strategy was developed by Microsoft 's Windows Embedded group in partnership with the eHome Division , which formed in February 2001 and started partnerships with companies like Samsung with the goal to `` develop new technologies so consumers can enjoy whole-home entertainment , communications and control experiences where , when and however they want them '' and `` develop an entire ecosystem of PCs , digital devices , intelligent home appliances and services that will easily and cost-effectively transform average households into next-generation digital homes . '' The Windows Media Center name was created with the release of a Windows XP product edition , Windows XP Media Center Edition , geared towards this ecosystem .   Codenamed Media2Go , it was later rebranded as Windows Mobile software for Portable Media Centers , before being named Portable Media Center . Its operating system was a specialized version of Windows CE , . In 2007 , Microsoft discontinued licensing the platform .   The first Portable Media Center product released was the Creative 's Zen Portable Media Center . All PMCs are able to play audio files in MP3 and display images in JPEG . Also , they support Microsoft 's proprietary formats : Windows Media Audio ( WMA ) and Windows Media Video ( WMV ) . Other video formats will either be supported by each individual PMC , or transcoded though Windows Media Player . Media Transfer Protocol ( MTP ) is used for transferring data .   All players use a graphical user interface ( GUI ) modeled after Media Center , a software portal bundled with Windows XP Media Center Edition .   Manufacturers include Creative , Philips , iriver , Samsung , and Toshiba .   The Portable Media Center was succeeded by Zune , and served as the basis for its software . Zune had similar aims to provide a unifying media platform across PCs , devices , and televisions ( 3-screen strategy ) .

neg: DSM CC Digital storage media command and control ( DSM-CC ) is a toolkit for developing control channels associated with MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 streams . It is defined in part 6 of the MPEG-2 standard ( Extensions for DSM-CC ) and uses a client/server model connected via an underlying network ( carried via the MPEG-2 multiplex or independently if needed ) .   DSM-CC may be used for controlling the video reception , providing features normally found on Video Cassette Recorders ( VCR ) ( fast-forward , rewind , pause , etc. ) . It may also be used for a wide variety of other purposes including packet data transport . It is defined by a series of weighty standards , principally MPEG-2 ISO/IEC 13818-6 ( part 6 of the MPEG-2 standard ) .   DSM-CC may work in conjunction with next generation packet networks , working alongside such internet protocols as RSVP , RTSP , RTP and SCP . Although DSM-CC is usually associated with video delivery ( via satellite or terrestrially ) and with interactive content , it is also used among audio servers and clients . The architecture describes three main parts of the system : the client , the server , and the session resource manager ( SRM ) . The server provides content and other services to the client , and both are `` clients '' of the SRM . The SRM allocates and manages network resources ( such as channels , bandwidth , and network addresses . ) By combining server and client components together onto the same platforms , peer-to-peer content access and delivery systems can be constructed .   These specifications include numerous implementation options . For example , MPEG-2 video can be encoded in different ways , and a DSM-CC system can be constructed to include or exclude certain features and interfaces . Normally , an outside specification will define a profile of specific options , allowing systems built using common profiles to interoperate .   DSM-CC defines or extends five distinct protocols :   User-User Allows remote access by the client to objects on the server . The User-User specification goes beyond the definition of specific server object classes to define classes local to the client , as well as some of the interaction with other parts of the system . The distributed object model is based on CORBA . Objects are accessed using the internet inter-ORB protocol ( IIOP ) , with some optional extensions . Two subsets , `` core '' and `` extended '' , are defined . In the model , some clients may also load content onto the server .   User-Network There are two parts to this protocol : Session and Resource . This protocol is used between the client and SRM , and between the server and SRM . The U-N Session protocol is used to establish sessions with the network , associated with resources which are allocated and released using the U-N Resource protocol .   MPEG transport profiles The specification provides profiles to the standard MPEG transport protocol ( defined by ISO/IEC 13818-1 ) to allow transmission of event , synchronization , download , and other information in the MPEG transport stream .   Download Several variations of this protocol allow transfer of content from server to client , either within the MPEG transport stream or on a separate ( presumably high-speed ) channel . Flow-controlled download allows the download operations to be negotiated and controlled by the client . A variation of download is an autonomous `` data carousel '' on the server which repeatedly downloads information ; the download carousel client waits for the information without initiating the transfer . An extension to the data carousel is the `` object carousel '' , which presents downloaded information as objects compatible with the objects defined by the User-User API . ( The choice of download or IIOP protocols is embedded in the object 's IOR , so the means of access is transparent to the client application . )   Switched Digital Broadcast-Channel Change Protocol ( SDB/CCP ) Enables a client to remotely switch from channel to channel in a broadcast environment . Used to attach a client to a continuous-feed session ( CFS ) or other broadcast feed . Sometimes used in pay-per-view .   An implementation does not always need all of these protocols . Almost all implementations in the real world use a subset .

neg: Extended Data Services Extended Data Services ( now XDS , previously EDS ) , is an American standard classified under Electronic Industries Alliance standard CEA-608-E for the delivery of any ancillary data ( metadata ) to be sent with an analog television program , or any other NTSC video signal .   XDS is used by TV stations , TV networks , and TV program syndication distributors in the USA for several purposes .   Here are some of the most common uses of XDS :   The `` autoclock '' system delivers time data via an XDS `` Time-of-Day Packet '' for automatically setting the clock of newer TVs & VCRs sold in the USA . Most PBS stations provide this service .  Rudimentary program information which can be displayed on-screen , such as the name and remaining time of the program ,  Station identification ,  V-chip content ratings data .   XDS is also used by the American TV network ABC for their Network Alert System ( NAS ) . NAS is a one-way communication system used by ABC to inform and alert their local affiliate stations across the USA of information regarding ABC 's network programming ( such as program timings & changes , news special report information , etc. ) , using a special decoder manufactured for ABC by EEG Enterprises , a manufacturer of related equipment for the TV broadcast industry such as closed captioning and general-purpose XDS encoders . The CBS Television Network uses a similar method to transmit three separate internal messaging services to stations : one for programming departments , one for master control operations , and one for newsrooms .   Many standard definition receivers produced by Dish Network encode XDS data into their output signal . Data encoded includes time of day , program name , program description , program time remaining , channel identification , and content rating . This data is obtained from the satellite service 's EPG and replaces any data which may have been present when the signal was uplinked .   XDS uses the same line in the vertical blanking interval as closed captioning ( NTSC line 21 ) , and shares the available second video field bandwidth with the closed captioning channels CC3 and CC4 , and with the text channels TXT3 and TXT4 .

neg: GTR – FIA GT Racing Game GTR -- FIA GT Racing Game is a sports car racing simulator developed by SimBin Studios ( later Sector3 Studios ) for the x86 PC . An Xbox version was announced very early on , but never materialized . In April 2006 , an Xbox 360 version was announced . The Xbox 360 version of the game was to be published by THQ . However , THQ later announced they would no longer be working together with Simbin on the title . Race Pro was released for the Xbox 360 in February 2009 .   As a racing simulator , it attempts to recreate real-world physics as accurately as possible , rather than exaggerating speed and handling abilities for the sake of easier gameplay . Some games that compare to the realism featured in GTR include Grand Prix Legends , Live for Speed and F1 Challenge . It has a full license from the FIA for their GT championship , so it features the original FIA GT Series cars and courses . All tracks were constructed from satellite data to improve accuracy , and the developers were helped by many teams in the GT - and NGT-classes . The game engine produces and outputs telemetry data in a format that is usable by the telemetry software i2 by MoTeC -- a software tool used by real racing teams .   The game has three modes , one with full realism and the two others with reduced levels of realism for intermediate players and newcomers . The user is provided with a great deal of control over the setup of the car , e.g. dampers , springs , anti-roll bars , gear ratios , wings and brake pressure can be adjusted in detail .   Although the user is allowed to map the controls to e.g. a keyboard or joystick/gamepad , a wheel/pedal set is really a requirement for a complete racing experience . GTR fully supports the TrackIR device . StarForce copy protection is used to prevent illegal copies of the game from being produced .   Some consider the graphics to be only mediocre whilst others praise the attention to detail in both car modelling and texturing . What is certain is that GTR does lack some effects seen in contemporary games . However , GTR does enable the player to participate in races with over 60 competitors . The game has been criticized numerous times for poor Netcode which often can result in an online game failing during the start . GTR also suffers from virtually no automatic enforcement of rules and regulations , and so `` fair racing '' is only seen by a few on public servers . The open nature of multiplayer sessions makes it easy for a single player to cause disruption for other players , or even to ruin the entire race . Consequently , joining a GTR league or community often proves beneficial for players who wish to participate in clean online racing . GTR 's rating has been suffered by the comparatively long amount of time needed to load a race .

neg: DirectX Media DirectX Media is a set of multimedia-related APIs for Microsoft Windows complementing DirectX . It included DirectAnimation for 2D/3D web animation , DirectShow for multimedia playback and streaming media , DirectX Transform for web interactivity , and Direct3D Retained Mode for higher level 3D graphics . DirectShow additionally contained DirectX plugins for audio signal processing and DirectX Video Acceleration for accelerated video playback .   DirectX Media runtime components were distributed as part of Internet Explorer . DirectX Media SDK and DirectX SDK existed as two separate SDKs until DirectX 6.0 . Later on , Microsoft deprecated DirectX Media and integrated DirectShow , the key part of DirectX Media , into DirectX . As of April 2005 , DirectShow was removed from DirectX and moved to the Microsoft Platform SDK instead . DirectX is , however , still required to build the DirectShow samples .

This ticker does not just crawl during menus and load screens but also in actual gameplay . Another feature is the ability to listen to sports updates from ESPN Radio , and a third feature is being able to read the top 40 sports stories from ESPN.com .   Much of this deal was done on the part of EA Sports to prevent ESPN from selling its brand name to another game manufacturer , like they did with SEGA . Their ESPN NFL 2K5 game featured total ESPN integration , complete with authentic music , graphics , rendered sets , pre-half-and post game commentary by Chris Berman , and Sunday Night Football telecast crew . That along with innovations in gameplay cut into EA Sports dominant Madden NFL franchise , leading EA to sign an exclusive deal with the NFL .
