Abstract: A process is provided for video processing and distribution of video data within a betting agency. The process includes receiving data streams of dynamic live betting odds and game statistics and receiving parallel TV live broadcasts of sports events as video data streams. The process further includes compressing the data streams and the video data streams yielding combined data streams, outputting each of the combined data streams via a protocol based network, receiving a combined data stream from the protocol based network pertaining to the betting on a supply of receiver servers, decompressing the combined data stream, and outputting the combined data stream displayed in any order on one or several monitors in real time. The combined data stream being continuous from allocated embedded systems, which operate as a client, wherein the clients individually provide the combined data stream from the supply of the receiver servers.

Abstract: An embedded system for video processing comprises hardware means for realizing the following functions: a) a server function, wherein for realizing the server function the following functions are realized: a1) receiving of at least one image-, at least one audio-data stream; a2) compression of at least one of the image- and audio-data streams yielding in each case a combined data stream respectively; a3) output of at least one of the combined data streams via a protocol based network; b) a client function, wherein for realizing the client function the following functions are realized: b1) receiving of at least one combined data stream from the protocol based network; b2) decompression of the at least one combined data stream; b3) output of the combined decompressed image- and audio-data stream; c) wherein the hardware means are designed in such a way that they c1) compress and decompress a continuous combined data stream and c2) conduct an individual security measure by means of a hardware serial nu

Abstract: A real-time betting system includes an event control server enabled to communicate data via a network. The event control server communicates gaming event information to various system components and an event control database for collecting and storing event data. A real-time betting system server communicates in operative communication with the event control server and includes an odds transformation module for transforming probabilities to odds. The system has a bookmaker server and a plurality of betting devices in operative communication with the event control server. The real-time betting system server enables a jackpot payout possibility for each bet enabled by the bookmaker server. The betting devices receive event information, including odds. Bets placed at the betting devices are communicated to the bookmaker server. The events having a short time interval and are selectively communicated to the betting devices to enable bets to be placed.

Abstract: An embedded system for video processing comprises hardware means for realising the following functions: a server function by: receiving of at least one image-, at least one audio-data stream; compression of at least one of the image- and audio-data streams yielding in each case a combined data stream respectively; output of at least one of the combined data streams via a protocol based network; a client function by: receiving of at least one combined data stream from the protocol based network; decompression of the at least one combined data stream; output of the combined decompressed image- and audio-data stream; wherein the hardware means are designed in such a way that they compress and decompress a continuous combined data stream and the hardware means for realising the server function and the client function are arranged on a joint circuit board.

Abstract: A system for enabling betting during the course of an event such as an automotive or horse race. The system includes a physical arena having a track and devices that move in a pattern around the track, a cinematic display corresponding to the physical arena for displaying events and for displaying odds during the course of a particular event, a computer in operative communication with the physical arena and the cinematic display for generating basic outcome probabilities of event outcomes for the set of events. The computer initially, and during the course of an event, determines a win bet probability for a particular event, transforms the win bet probability based on a transformation function to enable real-time betting during the course of the particular event.

Abstract: A betting system for handling betting events, comprising means for determining natural probability values assigned to the events based on a statistical method; and transformation means for applying a transformation function to the natural probability values to get transformed probability values; and means for providing the transformed probability values to betting clients of the betting system. The betting system may provide real-time betting events in comparable short time intervals.
