Patent number: 11882325Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for sharing encoder output of video streams. In a particular embodiment, a method provides determining video profiles for each of a plurality of devices. The method further provides determining if two or more of the video profiles are similar by determining if parameters associated with each video profile differ by less than a threshold value. The method further provides transmitting a video stream encoded in a single format to the devices if they have similar profiles and transmitting video streams encoded in different formats to the devices if they do not have similar profiles.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: VERINT AMERICAS, INCInventor: Hugo Martel

Patent number: 8817890Abstract: The present invention comprises a system and method for controlling the rate a data encoder generates compressed data. The system and method are preferably implemented as program code stored and executed by a processor or computer that is interfaced to standard variable or constant bit rate encoders known in the art. The system preferably encodes and compresses video signals received from a camera, and controls the rate at which the compressed data is generated by the encoder so that storage capacity reserved for the compressed data will not be exceeded. The device preferably takes advantage of periods when the data generation rate is low to increase the quality of video data generated during periods of high activity.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Verint Systems Inc.Inventors: Hugo Martel, Alexandre Cottinet, Willie Kouncar
