20090271683 | System and Method of Processing Video Data - The present disclosure is directed to a system and method of correcting video data errors. In a particular embodiment, the method includes receiving a stream of data packets at a re-generator of an Internet Protocol (IP) video transport stream. The stream of data packets includes a plurality of IP media packets and a plurality of forward error correction (FEC) packets. The method also includes determining an error profile of an error within the plurality of IP media packets. The method includes identifying one of the plurality of FEC packets, where the identified FEC packet is associated with an error correction code corresponding to the error profile. The method also includes selecting an inverse FEC function from a plurality of inverse FEC functions. The selected inverse FEC function corresponds to the identified FEC packet. | 10-29-2009 |
20100077438 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING MEDIA CONTENT - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server having a controller to receive a request for media content from a set top box of an Internet Protocol Television System, perform a search of one or more storage devices associated with other set top boxes for the media content based at least in part on a user profile associated with the set top box where the other set top boxes are located remotely from the set top box, receive the media content, and adjust a format of the media content prior to delivery to the set top box based at least in part on the user profile. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 03-25-2010 |
20110088056 | PORTABLE WIRELESS ACCESSORY FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a portable wireless High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) accessory for a wireless communication system, including: an HDMI processor which receives an audio/video encrypted signal and sends out an audio/video stream; a wireless HDMI module which receives the audio/video stream from the HDMI processor and transmits the audio/video stream wirelessly; a housing assembly for carrying the HDMI processor and the wireless HDMI module; and a coupling member which is operative to be coupled to a media processor via a port. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 04-14-2011 |
20120005717 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING THE PRESENTATION OF MEDIA CONTENT - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a set top box having a controller to receive a single video stream comprising two-dimensional image content and a depth map of the two-dimensional image content, generate three-dimensional image content in real-time from the two-dimensional image content and the depth map where the three-dimensional image content is generated when a display device operably coupled with the set top box is determined to be capable of presenting the three-dimensional image content, and provide either the two-dimensional image content or the three-dimensional image content to the display device. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 01-05-2012 |
20120007947 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING THREE DIMENSIONAL MEDIA CONTENT - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server having a controller to receive 3D image content with a plurality of left eye frames and a plurality of right eye frames, remove a portion of pixels from each left eye frame and from the corresponding right eye frame, combine remaining pixels from each left eye frame of the plurality of left eye frames with remaining pixels from the corresponding right eye frame of the plurality of right eye frames to form a plurality of transport frames where the combined remaining pixels form an alternating pattern of pixels based on either alternating rows of pixels or alternating columns of pixels from each left eye frame and the corresponding right eye frame, and encode the plurality of transport frames for delivery to a media processor. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 01-12-2012 |
20130047194 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A TRANSCODER - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a transcoder module having a controller to manage power distribution in the transcoder module from power supplied to an HDMI port of the transcoder module, transcode audio-visual information into a digital compatible format used on an external device. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 02-21-2013 |
20130167178 | Centralized Broadband Gateway for a Wireless Communication System - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a centralized broadband gateway for a wireless communication system, including: a router/gateway module which receives encoded compressed audio/video (A/V) streams and distributes the encoded compressed audio/video A/V streams; multiple audio/video decoders which receive the encoded compressed A/V streams from the a router/gateway module, decode the encoded compressed A/V streams, and output uncompressed A/V streams; and an integrated Wireless High Definition Multimedia Interface (WHDMI) which receives the uncompressed A/V streams from the multiple audio/video decoders and transmits the uncompressed A/V streams wirelessly to media devices, without deploying individual media processors at each media device. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 06-27-2013 |
20130224994 | ETHERNET OVER COAXIAL COUPLING SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS - A device that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a controller to provide low loss connectivity to a plurality of coaxial ports over a wide range of frequencies from D.C. to 2 GigaHertz in a coaxial network providing Ethernet networking, detune secondary coaxial splitters in the coaxial network that reduces an output-to-output isolation loss among secondary coaxial splitter output ports, and enable re-distribution of modulated radio frequency video signals from any point on the coaxial network to any alternative point on the coaxial network. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 08-29-2013 |
