Also, the CPU sets an exposure value for a frame to conform to a main subject image or a predetermined area in the entire range image acquired by the imaging section, and acquires a cut-out image formed by trimming an image area including the main subject image or the predetermined area from an entire range image captured with this exposure value, at second acquisition timing for a partial-range-image movie. | 05-19-2016 |
20160142668 | DIGITAL DEPOSITION AND EVIDENCE RECORDING SYSTEM - Embodiments include a modular video recording system. The system includes a first module for supporting a primary input to be recorded, such as from a first camera. A second, third, or other combination of modules may also be used to support or add additional inputs to be recorded. Any of the modules may support control features, switcher features, and other electronics and components to fully integrate the modules as additional modules are added to the system. | 05-19-2016 |
20160150264 | MULTIFUNCTION TELEVISION AND REMOTE ASSEMBLY - A television assembly includes a housing positioned on a support surface. A base display is coupled to the housing to be visible to an observer. A base processor is positioned within the housing and electrically coupled to the display. A camera is coupled to the housing and electrically coupled to the base processor. The camera records a video. A base transceiver positioned within the housing and electrically coupled to the base processor. The base transceiver is in electromagnetic communication with a communications network to deliver and receive a video from the communications network. A microphone is coupled to the housing to receive audible commands. The microphone is electrically coupled to the base processor to send the audible commands to the base processor. The base display depicts indicia associated with the audible commands. | 05-26-2016 |

20160189752 | CONSTRAINED SYSTEM REAL-TIME CAPTURE AND EDITING OF VIDEO - A method and apparatus for performing real-time capture and editing of video are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises editing, on a capture device, raw captured media data by extracting media data for a set of highlights in real-time using tags that identify each highlight in the set of highlights from signals generated from triggers; creating, on the capture device, a video clip by combining the set of highlights; and processing, during one or both of editing the raw input data and creating the video clip, a portion of the raw captured media data that is being stored in a memory on the capture device but not included in the video clip during one or both of editing the raw input media data and creating the video. | 06-30-2016 |
20160191818 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND FOR NOTIFYING PREDETERMINED TIME POINT DURING MOVIE RECORDING AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A user easily recognizes, during the recording of a movie to which a predetermined effect is intended to be applied, a time point at which an effect-applied part starts or ends. An electronic apparatus includes an image capturing control unit configured to perform control to record a movie including at least a first recording period for applying a specific effect is applied and a second recording period to which the specific effect is not applied, and the second recording period is a period contiguous to the first recording period, in one recording period, and a display control unit configured to perform control to display, during recording the movie, an information display related to a time point at which the first recording period switches to the second recording period or a time point at which the second recording period switches to the first recording period, during recording the movie. | 06-30-2016 |
20160191891 | VIDEO CAPTURING AND FORMATTING SYSTEM - A video capture and formatting system including a plurality of lenses, a digital sensor, and an editing unit. The lenses capture light from a defined viewable area and are curvilinear in nature. The sensor receives the light from the lenses and senses the color, exposure, and travel distance of each photon. The sensor generates image data representing the visual characteristics of the image and the photon travel distance for each pixel. The editing unit processes image data from the sensor and blends the images from each lens together by matching the photon distance around the sides of each lens image data. The editing unit forms a master format having a two dimensional equi-rectangular image with depth perception provided from the photon travel distance of each pixel. | 06-30-2016 |
