Second round in latency test - QIK beats B second time

We were asked to run test again, this time with lower video quality. We lowered only Bambuser settings trying to get them to same level in frame rate.

PS. I've been asked to test QIK against ustream. I'll do that when I get approval of being able to stream live with ustream.

QIK wins first round in latency test

In this test we tested latency and frame rate of QIK and Bambuser, both with iPhone and Nokia. 3G upstream bandwidth was tested beforehand and they were about the same in all 4 mobiles. Both Bambuser and QIK were set to maximum video and audio quality.

First test with 4 mobile phones and 1 HD-cam

In this test we shot 4 different concurrent video streams and reference video to the tape. We used following setup:

Network connection	Wi-Fi 10M
Video Quality	Best
Audio Quality	Best
Tested services	Bambuser and Qik
Test devices	#1 Nokia N95, Bambuser v. 1.03(6) #2 Nokia E71, QIK v. 1.0.25 #3 iPhone 3 GS 32G, QIK for 3 GS v. 4.32 #4 iPhone 3 GS 32G, Bambuser v. 1.6.7

Nokia	Cam #1 / Nokia N95, 5 mpix camera Bandwidth used: 53 M	Cam #2 / Nokia E71, 3 mpix camera Bandwidth used: 76 M
Reference Youtube HQ	Cam #0 / Sony HD video cam + YouTube

First thing you notice is a poor focus in both Nokia videos. Both Nokia devices has a real mechanical focus but it seems that neither Bambuser or QIK can use it. That's why image of both services is far more better when using iPhone.
