Patent number: 11064199Abstract: In a video processing system, a method and system for generating a transform size syntax element for video decoding are provided. For high profile mode video decoding operations, the transform sizes may be selected based on the prediction macroblock type and the contents of the macroblock. A set of rules may be utilized to select from a 4.×.4 or an 8.×.8 transform size during the encoding operation. Dynamic selection of transform size may be performed on intra-predicted macroblocks, inter-predicted macroblocks, and/or direct mode inter-predicted macroblocks. The encoding operation may generate a transform size syntax element to indicate the transform size that may be used in reconstructing the encoded macroblock. The transform size syntax element may be transmitted to a decoder as part of the encoded video information bit stream.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Stephen Gordon, Douglas Chin

Patent number: 10812547Abstract: A streaming server stores a plurality of parameter values for configuring a computing client node to stream output associated with a particular application. Upon receipt of a request to establish streaming relating to the particular application, the streaming server retrieves the relevant parameter values from the previously stored information and generates instructions for configuring the client device based upon the retrieved parameter values. The streaming server transmits the instructions to the client device which uses the received instructions to configure itself for streaming. The stream of output from the client device is received at the streaming server which transmits the stream to other devices that have requested to receive the output. In response to subsequent requests, the streaming server again retrieves the relevant parameter values from the previously stored information and generates instructions for configuring the client device.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Javier Justino Garavito, Stephen Gordon Dewhurst, Jeremiah William Habets
