Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems and methods for adapting presentation settings for playback of content, including adapting the display settings of a presentation device based on the content, an ambient condition, such as ambient light, as detected by an environmental sensor in or coupled to the display device, and exogenous data. Configuration profiles may be generated including exogenous data relating to the capture and production of the content. The configuration profiles may include provider presentation settings and presentation instructions for a presentation device that when applied, enhance the presentation of the content on the display to appear as the content creator intended.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system that includes a camera, a shadow device that mimics, copies, or duplicates the properties of the camera, and a controller. The controller can be located in the same vicinity as the shadow device, where the camera is in a remote location. An operator can receive feedback that mimics what they would be experiencing if they were operating the camera directly. The controller then manipulates the remote camera based on the input from the operator. The system of the present disclosure allows for a camera operator to be in a remote location, and it still provides accurate, real-time feedback to the operator. Unlike current systems, the present system provides instantaneous or near-instantaneous feedback for cameras in remote locations.

Abstract: A system for permitting temporary access for delivery of owned content to a location selected by a subscriber is provided. The system includes a central facility in communication with a plurality of local networks. Through one of the local networks, the subscriber can access a database in the central facility, which contains content owned by the subscriber. An enhanced progressive download system and method for high definition audio-visual content is also provided. This method uses the download speed of the subscriber, the run time of the content to be downloaded, the size of the content, and the amount of local storage in the appliance of the subscriber. A desired wait time for downloading the content is selected, and based on these parameters, the amount of local storage needed for the content is calculated. If a ratio of the local storage available to the local storage needed for the content is above a desired threshold, a download of the content can begin.

Abstract: A system for delivery of owned High Definition audio-visual content to a location selected by a user is provided. The system includes a central facility for the storage of the content, and two or more local networks operatively connected to the central facility for receipt of the content from the central facility. One local network has a dedicated high bandwidth data line to the location of the user, and the dedicated data line transmits of the content as high definition content, and the transmission is such that it allows for immediate play.

Abstract: A system is provided for allowing temporary access to subscriber content through a network appliance. The system includes a server application residing on a platform server, an appliance application residing on the network appliance, and a mobile application residing on a mobile device. The server application determines the location of each of the network appliance and the mobile device. If they are within a set distance of one another, the server application allows for the temporary access to, and display of a subscriber's content on the network appliance. The server appliance can transmit a code to the network appliance, which the user then inputs into the mobile device.

Abstract: A system for permitting temporary access for delivery of owned Content to a location selected by a Subscriber is provided. The system includes a central facility that stores a list of all Content owned by the Subscriber, and a plurality of local networks connected to the central facility. A protocol enables the Subscriber to use an application to access the Content they own on a local network, even if that local network is not the one linked to their provided (e.g., a cable company) account. The protocol receives the request from the Subscriber to view the Content at a selected location on a local network, determines whether the Subscriber is authorized to view that Content, and if so, transmits the Content to the local network at the selected location.
