  • Publication number: 20170043248
    Abstract: To provide a video display system for allowing a user to look at and listen to video and sound on various means. A video display system has a video display device and a portable video display device, connected to each other for communication. The video display device produces own device video data and own device sound data to be displayed and reproduced, respectively, on the video display device; displays the own device video data and reproduces the own device sound data; encodes these data into a data format which the portable video display device is able to handle, to thereby produce other device video data and other device sound data; and sends to the portable video display device. The portable video display device receives these data, and decodes and displays the other device video data, and decodes and reproduces the other device sound data.

  • Patent number: 8160422
    Abstract: To effectively reproduce video depending on the performance of a reproducing apparatus. A controller 446 determines whether or not an entry of video is a beginning of a chapter of video or whether or not a scene change of the entry is important. In other words, the controller 446 determines whether or not an entry under evaluation corresponds to a time of a chapter of chapter scene change information 447 or whether or not the entry is an important scene change. If an entry under evaluation corresponds to a time of a chapter, the controller 446 sets priority_flag=3 and stores it to an output server 426.
