Abstract: An encoding for data in an audio data stream may be indicated in the data stream using a footer stored in low-order bits of data frames in the audio data stream. When the audio data stream may include either Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) or Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data, PCM data may be marked with a footer to indicate the encoding as PCM. The footer may be a fixed value, an alternating fixed value, a predetermined sequence of values, or a value computed based on the PCM data. Examples of computed values for the footer marker may include an error code, an error correction code (ECC), and a scrambled code.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are information capture systems and related methods. An information capture system includes a sensor secured to an object configured to be involved with a possible event. The sensor is configured to detect one or more stimuli that are associated with the possible event, and transmit a sensor signal indicating data corresponding to the one or more stimuli. The information capture system also includes a recording device configured to record information responsive to a triggering event determined from the sensor signal. A method includes analyzing sensor data from the sensor, determining, from the sensor data, that a triggering event occurred, and recording post-trigger information following the determination of the triggering event.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for editing of spherical video data. In one example, a computing device can receive a spherical video (or a video associated with an angular field of view greater than an angular field of view associated with a display screen of the computing device), such as by a built-in spherical video capturing system or acquiring the video data from another device. The computing device can display the spherical video data. While the spherical video data is displayed, the computing device can track the movement of an object (e.g., the computing device, a user, a real or virtual object represented in the spherical video data, etc.) to change the position of the viewport into the spherical video. The computing device can generate a new video from the new positions of the viewport.
