  • Patent number: 8223959
    Abstract: A system includes microphone devices, echo cancellation mechanism, and speaker devices. Each echo cancellation mechanism corresponds to one of the microphone devices. Each speaker device corresponds to a sound source signal. Each sound source signal is spatially distributed to all the speaker devices, and each echo cancellation mechanism receives as a reference signal a combination of all the sound source signals.

  • Patent number: 8208645
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for harmonizing calibration of audio between a plurality of networked conference rooms to enable each networked conference room to have substantially similar audio characteristics by adjusting speaker gain output of an audio signal sent from a calibration location on a network and tuning microphone response received at a calibration location to a calibrated audio source.

  • Patent number: 8126156
    Abstract: A system including at least one system microphone, a processor connected to computer readable memory and the at least one system microphone, a measurement microphone connected to the processor, at least one audio speaker, a signal generator connected to the processor and configured to produce signals from the at least one audio speaker for both the measurement microphone and the at least one system microphone to measure the response of the at least one audio speaker, and a device manager application executable from the computer readable memory and configured to perform the steps of calibrating the at least one audio speaker with the measurement microphone using the signals of the signal generator based on the response of the at least one audio speaker thereby creating at least one calibrated audio speaker and calibrating the at least one system microphone with the at least one calibrated audio speaker using the signals of the signal generator.

  • Patent number: 8103157
    Abstract: Cameras are adjusted by setting magnifications of two or more cameras to be substantially equal, focusing the two or more cameras, and setting the two or more cameras so that portions of an object captured thereby when displayed are aligned.

  • Publication number: 20110134207
    Abstract: In an embodiment of an audio/video system, an audio signal is sent to a plurality of speakers of the audio/video system, and a delay and/or a gain applied to the audio signal sent to each speaker is adjusted according to a distance from that speaker to an apparent sound origin on a video display of the audio/video system.

  • Publication number: 20080273078
    Abstract: Systems, methodologies, and media associated with videoconferencing are described. One example system includes video display devices and audio output devices to output video and related audio received from a remote videoconferencing location(s). The example system includes a distribution logic to selectively route audio data to an audio output device(s) and to selectively route video data to a video display device(s). The routing may be based, at least in part, on a relationship between an audio source and a video source. The result of the routing is to cause audio outputs to be acoustically associated with related video outputs so that different audio and video outputs will be spatially distinguishable and so that audio is attributable to related video.
