Abstract: One embodiment provides a motorized monopole for a camera, including: a monopole; an offset arrangement attached to the monopole; a camera mount; the offset arrangement rotating with respect to the monopole; the offset arrangement terminating in a connection attaching the camera mount; and a first motor imparting tilt movement to the camera mount with respect to the connection. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for distributing supplemental content based on content entities within video content. Embodiments include receiving video data containing an embedded watermark at a first position within the video data. The embedded watermark is detected at the first position within the video data. Embodiments also include transmitting, to a remote content server, a message specifying a time stamp corresponding to the first position within the video data. In response to transmitting the message, supplemental content corresponding to a content entity depicted within the video content at the first position within the video content is received from the remote content server. Embodiments also include outputting the video data for display together with at least an indication of the supplemental content.

Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for distributing supplemental content based on content entities within video content. Embodiments include analyzing video data to identify a known content entity within two or more frames of the video data. For each of the two or more frames, a region of pixels within the respective frame is determined that corresponds to the known content entity. Embodiments further include determining supplemental content corresponding to the known content entity. A watermark is embedded at a first position within the video data, such that the watermark corresponds to an identifier associated with the determined supplemental content. Upon receiving a message specifying the identifier, embodiments include transmitting the supplement content to a client device for output together with the video data.

Abstract: There is provided a system and a method for use by the system to provide live panoramic image capture and distribution. In one implementation, such a method includes capturing multiple perspectives of a visual environment, combining at least a subset of those perspectives to produce a panoramic image of the visual environment, and encoding the panoramic image to generate panoramic image data. The method also includes transmitting the first panoramic image data to a routing and processing portal for distribution of the panoramic image in real-time.
