The video player: Weak points and future options

• Better scaling for better timing and to avoid “manual bitrate control”
• Having heavy scenes resulting in delayed frames and prolonged duration. The encoder could better detect and somehow merge or skip source frames to ensure correct timing.
• Dynamic update load split at runtime
• Instead of chopping up into 4 frames up front, the runtime renderer could target 4 frames in a dynamic manner. Using line interrupts could squeeze out more cycles and automatically adapt every individual frame’s available cycles.
• Scale bandwidth by using two-colors mode, could be nice to support
• It will work nicely as 2⁴ = 16
• I see several cool things one could do with the two-color model. Fewer colors can either increase the framerate or we can allow bigger diffs into each shown frame. The latter being of highest interest.
• A monochrome video could be made more lively by fading, different tones and crossfades.
• Fade up/down could easily be added
