Abstract: A remote control system includes a first network configured for communication via a first format. The first network includes a router configured to receive packetized remote control codes transmitted to the router in the first format. The remote control system further includes a second network configured for communication via a set of second formats. The second network includes a translator communicatively coupled to the router via a network link The translator is configured to receive the packetized remote control codes from the router in the first format and translate the remote control codes from the first format to a set of second formats. The second network further includes a blaster communicatively coupled to the translator. The blaster is configured to received the packetized remote control codes in the set of second formats and transmit the packetized remote control codes in the set of second formats to a set of consumer-electronic devices.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent image quality engine intelligently manages different parameters related to image quality in the context of real-time capture of image data, in order to improve the end-user experience by using awareness of the environment, system, etc., and by controlling various parameters globally. Various image processing algorithms implemented include smart auto-exposure, frame rate control, image pipe controls, and temporal filtering.
