| 20140093223 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF TRANSITIONING FROM BUFFERING VIDEO TO RECORDING VIDEO - Systems and methods for transitioning from buffering video to recording video. The control application receives a video and causes the video to be buffered until it detects a buffer full condition. Upon receiving the buffer full condition, the control application causes the media recorder to begin recording the newly received video as a recording, and designates the buffered video as part of the recording. In one method, the control application can be set to either record or play when the buffer becomes full. In other methods, the control application prompts the user for input indicating whether the video should be recorded or played when the buffer becomes full. In still other methods, the control application alerts the user as to how long a program may be paused before the buffer will become full. | 04-03-2014 |
| 20140178053 | IMAGING APPARATUS - This invention allows recording of moving images with a large number of pixels and high frame rate while suppressing the circuit scale and power consumption. A first processing circuit encodes a frame acquired from an image capturing device, records the resultant encoded data in a recording medium at a recording position received from a second processing circuit, and transmits a relevant data amount to the second processing circuit. The second processing circuit encodes a frame obtained from the image capturing device, records the resultant encoded data in the recording medium at a recording position determined in prior recording processing, determines a recording position for the first processing circuit, and transmits the determined recording position to the first processing circuit. Upon receiving information showing a data amount, the second processing circuit updates a recording position based on the received data amount. | 06-26-2014 |
| 20140270718 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIGNAL ENCODING PRODUCING ENCODED SIGNALS OF HIGH FIDELITY AT MINIMAL SIZES - Methods and apparatus for determining encoding parameters of an encoder or a transcoder which yield an encoded signal of optimal measurable properties are disclosed. For a video signal, the encoding parameters may include quantization granularity, a measure of display resolution, and a frame rate. The measurable properties of an encoded signal may include a fidelity index, a relative size, and a relative flow rate. Reference data records quantifying properties of sample signals encoded according to experimental sets of encoding parameters are used to define parameters of conjectured analytical functions characterizing the encoding or transcoding functions. The analytical functions are then used to generate granular tables of estimated measures of encoded-signal properties. A fast search mechanism relies on the granular tables, together with sorted arrangements of the granular tables, to determine, in real-time, preferred encoding parameters for multimedia data streams received at an encoder or a transcoder. | 09-18-2014 |
