Patent number: 11317051Abstract: The present invention relates to a video processing apparatus, method, and system. In particular, in accordance with one embodiment, high-speed video is divided into at least two sub-videos having a frame rate lower than that of the input video, during which metadata for synchronization of the two sub-videos which corresponds to frames of each sub-video is generated, and inserted into the respective sub-videos for video processing in parallel. During the parallel processing of the sub-videos, the system monitors and controls the synchronization of the process and, upon completion of the sub-video processing, use the metadata to re-assemble the sub-videos into one high-speed video stream for output, the output video having the same frame rate as the received input video stream.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: China Film GDC (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Wei Bian, Man Nang Chong, Ruoqing Fu, Shuai Tan, Pranay Kumar, Bin Xu, Rui Shen, Shuping Li

Patent number: 10798427Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for providing a failover of storage for media content, including media content used for broadcasting in cinema. One embodiment of the invention stores copies of digital cinema packages (“DCPs”) to both a central storage facility as well as a local storage facility. When a server module reading DCPs in central storage module encounters abnormalities, it switches reading operations to the local storage module, at the same frame location from which interruption occurred. The present invention provides a multi-layered storage system for cinema broadcasting of a movie to decrease likelihood of interruptions during a broadcast that may be caused by failure of the central storage facility.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: GDC TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) LIMITEDInventors: Man Nang Chong, Pranay Kumar, Chern Yue Kwok, Jing Zheng Tan, Jian Xing Huang
