Download or read book A Beginners Guide to Using PlayStation 4 PS4 written by Katie Morris and published by GadChick Books. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congratulations on your purchase of what Sony Computer Entertainment touts as “the world’s most powerful gaming console,” the PlayStation 4! In its first year alone, the PlayStation 4 has already sold nearly 15 million units internationally and has been heralded by critics and consumers alike for its powerful hardware and new features. In 2014 it won gaming mega-website IGN’s People’s Choice Award for best console (in competition with the xBox One and Wii U). Accordingly, the PlayStation 4 dominated gaming console sales throughout 2014, making it one of the best and fastest-selling gaming consoles ever designed. In addition to its beefier hardware, Sony has added a variety of new and innovative features, including the Dualshock 4 controller, the PlayStation Camera, and the PlayStation Move controller. Additionally, with the new system, players can connect their smart phones, tablets, PS Vita or PS TV to act as “second screen” interfaces to interact with your PS4. The new PlayStation 4 user interface will be familiar to those already used to the PlayStation 3 interface, but the look and feel of the PS4 has been enhanced with dynamic menus that can be changed based on user preferences. Third party apps, such as Netflix and Hulu, can now be displayed directly on the main screen for faster access. Additionally, the system now can be controlled using voice commands from a microphone headset or from the built-in microphone on the PlayStation Camera. With the release of the PlayStation 4, Sony has begun to emphasize “social gaming,” which goes far beyond mere multi-player gaming with the ability to share directly to social media sites like YouTube and Facebook with just a click of a button. Ever wanted to share a video of yourself beating that final boss with your Facebook friends? With the PS 4, this is now possible with just a couple of button presses using the new “Share” button on the Dualshock 4 controller. In addition to faster and easier access to internet services like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, the PlayStation 4’s built in web browser is based on the same engine used by Google Chrome and the new Safari web browser, making it the most compatible browser available on any console. Whereas in the past and with other consoles, web browsing could be a bit of a headache when it comes to things like accessing YouTube videos, the PS4’s web browser is as easy and intuitive as the web browser on your computer, and it’s automatically compatible with the web’s most advanced websites. This guide will introduce you to how to use the most advanced features of the PS4. Now might be a good time to warn your significant other and boss that they might not see you for a while as you get familiar with your new best friend, the Sony PlayStation 4! Please note, this book is neither written or endorsed by Sony and should be considered unofficial.

Book excerpt: Althоugh thе PS4 Prо follows a similar design aesthetic to its ѕmаllеr, ѕlіmmеr brother, іt іѕ рrеttу out thеrе оn its оwn in lооkѕ. Prеѕumаblу tо hоuѕе thе еxtrа tесh оr, more accurately, thе аіrflоw rеԛuіrеd tо dіѕѕіраtе thе heat, thе Pro іѕ mаѕѕіvе. It''ѕ еvеn considerably bіggеr than the original lаunсh PlayStation 4, whісh wаѕ hardly thе ѕmаllеѕt. It''s still nоt аѕ bіg as the PS5 lооkѕ lіkе. Thе sandwich-style, thrее deck casing does nоthіng tо hіdе іtѕ girth аnd thе only blessing is thаt іt can lurk іn a TV cabinet, mostly hіddеn thаnkѕ to thе matte blасk fіnіѕh. The Prо іѕn''t аѕ роwеrful аѕ thе Xbоx One X іn ѕрес tеrmѕ, аlthоugh іt is a bіt cheaper аnd trоunсеѕ аnуthіng else оn thе mаrkеt іn the соnѕоlе ѕрасе. Thе Pro''s CPU іѕ similar tо thаt in the standard PS4, but hаѕ bееn сlосkеd аt 2.1GHz (over thе PS4''ѕ 1.6GHz) ѕо іѕ around a thіrd fаѕtеr. Thе RAM іѕ also fаѕtеr - thеrе іѕ 8GB оf GDDR5 RAM, аѕ before, but іt has a bandwidth оf 218GB/ѕ. There''s аlѕо an аddіtіоnаl 1GB RAM fоr system applications to nоt іntеrfеrе with thе соrе, whісh allows dеvеlорѕ tо uѕе mоrе oomph durіng processes. Fіnаllу, аnd mоѕt significantly, thе graphics processing іѕ seriously upgraded. The new AMD Radeon GPU has 4.20 tеrаflорѕ tо рlау with - соnѕіdеrаblу more thаn dоublе the power of thе graphics сhірѕеt in thе ѕtаndаrd PS4. Thаt''ѕ what drives thе PS4 Prо''ѕ hеаdlіnе fеаturеѕ and іtѕ main raison d''êtrе: thіѕ іѕ a соnѕоlе еntіrеlу designed for hіghеr fіdеlіtу grарhісѕ аnd bеttеr іmаgе rерrеѕеntаtіоn. It рlауѕ thе еxасt ѕаmе gаmеѕ аѕ any оthеr PlayStation 4, with exactly the ѕаmе user іntеrfасе аnd control ѕуѕtеm, but it runs them bеttеr.That''s bесаuѕе іt іѕ сараblе оf рrеѕеntіng a gаmе''ѕ graphics in 4K - nоt always nаtіvе 4K.

Download or read book The Art of Mixing written by David Gibson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Gibson uses 3D visual representations of sounds in a mix as a tool to explain the dynamics that can be created in a mix. This book provides an in-depth exploration into the aesthetics of what makes a great mix. Gibson’s unique approach explains how to map sounds to visuals in order to create a visual framework that can be used to analyze what is going on in any mix. Once you have the framework down, Gibson then uses it to explain the traditions that have be developed over time by great recording engineers for different styles of music and songs. You will come to understand everything that can be done in a mix to create dynamics that affect people in really deep ways. Once you understand what engineers are doing to create the great mixes they do, you can then use this framework to develop your own values as to what you feel is a good mix. Once you have a perspective on what all can be done, you have the power to be truly creative on your own – to create whole new mixing possibilities. It is all about creating art out of technology. This book goes beyond explaining what the equipment does – it explains what to do with the equipment to make the best possible mixes.
Download or read book Digital Children A Guide for Adults written by Andy Phippen and published by John Catt. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital world is a place where even the most informed parents and teachers can feel one pace behind children. Bombarded with scare stories about the risks of everyday Internet interactions for young people, those caring for them are frequently left to navigate online minefields more or less on their own. This book is here to help. Two leading experts on digital childhoods, Dr Sandra Leaton Gray and Professor Andy Phippen, explore the realities of growing up online in the 21st century. They provide an informative and accessible guide to the issues young people face today, based on the latest research and scholarship. They also expose the many ways the child safeguarding industry means well, but often gets things very wrong. The authors explain the latest research on topics such as biometrics, encryption, cyphertext and sexting, and analyse their relevance to the next generation. They raise a number of key questions about the contemporary lives of young people, including their relationship with digital technologies such as games, social media, surveillance and tracking devices. They also challenge conventional thinking on these issues. Rather than relying on technology, they argue we should instead focus on the quality of relationships between children, their peers, their parents and with adults generally. Then we can build a healthy digital future for society as a whole.

C++17 is the next evolution in modern C++ programming, which is already now supported by the latest version of gcc, clang, and Visual C++. Although it is not as big a step as C++11, it contains a large number of small and valuable language and library features, which will change the way we program in C++. As usual, not everything is self-explanatory, combining new features gives even more power, and there are hidden traps. This book presents all the new language and library features of C++17. It covers the motivation and context of each new feature with examples and background information. The focus is on how these features impact day-to-day programming, what it means to combine them, and how to benefit from this in practice.
