Abstract: A method for creating a multimedia presentation, which presentation comprises an audio or video recording of a session wherein a presenter presents an audiovisual presentation, said method comprising said presenter presenting said audiovisual presentation, making an audio or video recording of said presentation, wherein timing data comprising data for start, end and transition events within said audiovisual presentation are automatically, and without manual processing, incorporated into said audio or video recording, so as to allow said events to be used on playback to coordinate the audio or video portion of said multimedia presentation with the audiovisual portion thereof.

Abstract: A high-performance, adaptive and scalable system for distributing streaming media, in which processing into a plurality of output formats is controlled in a real-time distributed manner, and which further incorporates processing improvements relating to workflow management, video acquisition and video preprocessing. The processing system may be used as part of a high-speed content delivery system in which such streaming media processing is conducted at the edge of the network, allowing video producers to supply improved live streaming experience to multiple simultaneous users independent of the users' individual viewing device, network connectivity, bit rate and supported streaming formats. Methods by which such system may be used to commercial advantage are also described.

Abstract: A system for transmitting a trigger signal for a video capture system over a network, such as a TCP/IP network, which eliminates the need for special connections to be available in order to send triggers from an external device to start and stop the acquisition of video. Traditional video start/stop triggers are routed through a Trigger Converter which converts the trigger signal to a signal formatted for transmission over an existing network. A Trigger Receiver receives the formatted signal from the network and converts it to a trigger signal formatted for the trigger input of the video capture device. The video capture system responds to the trigger signal from the Trigger Receiver in the same way as it would have to the traditional trigger. Because the video capture device is already connected to the network, additional cables are not necessary.
