20150244471 | Control Device Update - A system and method for updating IR signal information remotely for control devices are disclosed. | 08-27-2015 |
20130141592 | System and Method for Video Quality Parametric Tests - A method and system for automatically evaluating the quality of a signal transmitted by an imaging device. The amount of noise in the video signal is analyzed using an algorithm that does not require comparison to a template signal. The results of the algorithm determine whether the signal meets a pre-determined threshold value for signal quality. | 06-06-2013 |
20110096170 | System and Method for Video Quality Parametric Tests - A method and system for automatically evaluating the quality of a signal transmitted by an imaging device. The amount of noise in the video signal is analyzed using an algorithm that does not require comparison to a template signal. The results of the algorithm determine whether the signal meets a pre-determined threshold value for signal quality. | 04-28-2011 |
20110072306 | Method and System for Automated Test of End-User Devices - A test system, for example for set top boxes or game consoles, includes logic to reformat media signals output by a device under test, logic to receive the reformatted media signals and to analyze them for errors, and a pluggable interface coupling the device under test to the logic to reformat the media signals. | 03-24-2011 |
20090315753 | Apparatus and method for managing memory of a digital video recorder - A method for clearing a memory component of an electronic device using a universal remote control unit includes initiating, by a user, an upgrading mode; entering, by a user, a code associated with a device to be controlled by the remote control unit; entering, by a user, a signal formatting data entry which includes signal formatting data, via the keys of the keypad, to be stored in memory of the remote control unit; and associating the type of device to be controlled by the remote control unit with the signal formatting data entry. The signal formatting data is formed to allow a sequence of depression of keys to cause the memory component of the device to be cleared. | 12-24-2009 |
20090089854 | Arrangement and method for managing testing and repair of set-top boxes - Arrangement and method for managing set-top boxes used by customers of a content service provider includes at least one automated tester each arranged to couple to set-top boxes and subject each set-top box to a series of automated tests to determine whether each set-top box is functioning properly or requires subsequent repair, and a processor unit coupled to each automated tester for receiving test results therefrom and monitoring testing of set-top boxes via the automated tester(s). Each automated tester is located at a testing facility maintained by the content service provider. A database stores the test results from the automated tester(s) and enables generation of customized reports about the set-top boxes tested by the automated tester(s). A billing system is coupled to each automated tester and to the processor unit and coordinates invoicing for testing performed by the automated tester(s) and repair of set-top boxes at a repair facility. | 04-02-2009 |
