  • Patent number: 11017814
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate a system and method of a live and post workflow for generating a media project of a live production media and fully reconstructing all graphical elements and all graphical events of the live production media for a post-production environment. The live and post workflow system including a live broadcasting component for controlling a live broadcast and recording, via a recorder, all media actions, including graphic data information and graphic events, but also all other components and actions required for the production, including video and audio filters, transitions, media clips, mix levels, and a converting phase component for processing and building a generic output from the one or more media files, user actions, and incoming data events and then translating and reconstructing the generic output into a complete reconstruction of the live broadcast having a generic output format and timeline that is supported by the post-production environment.

  • Patent number: 10734028
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an intelligent title cache system and more particularly to a real-time image motion including an optimized crawl and live video mapping in the intelligent title cache system. Real-time image motion through active 2D transformations on individual pre-rendered image layers enables the real-time flexibility to support features such as smooth, low overhead crawls and live video mapped to graphic surfaces.

  • Patent number: 10455296
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an intelligent title cache system and more particularly to an automated graphical system for replacing potentially lengthy graphics rendering from a wide range of graphics generating systems with very fast assembly of 2D pre-rendered images into a complete video frame. This ensures minimum latency and consistent, predictable processing overheard, regardless of how complicated the render itself may be. Moreover, the intelligent title cache system is configured to prepare the majority of cached images ahead of time for all frequently used values.

  • Patent number: 10446191
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an intelligent title cache system and more particularly to an animated motion and effect modifiers, including loop and crawl modifiers that are applied to a segment of text, graphics, or video in a title template. These animated motion modifiers may define, control and manipulate a sequencing of frames of a title template, adding visual dynamics and enhanced animated behavior to the overall intelligent title cache system.

  • Patent number: 9996965
    Abstract: An automated animated title sequence mechanism including a system and methods for template based text and graphics that can render the animated title sequence where the duration of the sequence dynamically fits an arbitrary or predetermined timeline. The automated animated title sequence includes a title template document to store a complete description of an animated title sequence. The title template document is composed of a timeline, animated text and graphics, data and instructions for playback of the animated text and graphics over the course of the timeline.

  • Patent number: 9830948
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an automated, intelligent visualization of data through text and graphics for connecting a wide range of data sources to graphics visualization software and automating its presentation, including building on a standard template driven system for generating graphics from data. Some of these building mechanisms include: Service Handlers, which are plugin components with their own process for converting the data into something uniform, Input Behaviors, which define actions and data to deliver from a service, a system for matching templates to input behaviors by the set of variables in each and the rules for matching them, a Schedule Request mechanism, which connects the data from the service, via the input behavior mechanism, to the correct titles, and handles the assignment of data and then conducts the appropriate actions, and the use of handler defined queues for managing the order of things in parallel.

  • Patent number: 9277198
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating edited media. In an embodiment, one or more media assets are received. A theme template comprising one or more entries is retrieved, and the entries are populated with the received media assets to generate one or more composite media products. The media assets may comprise both static and dynamic media assets from multiple data sources. For instance, the dynamic media assets may be user-supplied, whereas the static media assets are retrieved from a structured database and remain the same for a given theme template.
