  • Patent number: 10931921
    Abstract: Techniques to provide a micro-broadcast of an event are described. Video data streams of a live event at a venue may be captured in one or more wireless camera devices. The data streams may be sent to one of a network of wireless access points where they are relayed to a control center. A computer system in the control center may select one of the video data streams to be broadcast as a micro-broadcast. The selected video data stream may then be formatted for the micro-broadcast before a micro-broadcast transmitter broadcasts the formatted selected video data stream.

  • Patent number: 9363542
    Abstract: Techniques to provide an enhanced video replay are described. A processor component controls a video interface module, a replay clip editing module, a replay clip selection module, and a broadcast feed module. The video interface module may receive a first and a second video stream of an event in a first and a second video resolution. The replay clip editing module may determine a time period within the second video stream that contains a scene of interest and create multiple video clips in the first video resolution. The multiple video clips each represent of a portion of the field of view of the second video stream. The broadcast feed module may interrupt a broadcast feed of the first video stream and insert the selected one of the multiple video clips into the broadcast feed. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20130315404
    Abstract: The OPTIMUM BROADCAST AUDIO CAPTURING APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM (“OBAC”) transforms selection request, video feeds, and, audio feeds inputs via OBAC components into synchronized and optimum video and audio outputs. In one embodiment, a processor-implemented method for capturing optimal audio in sports broadcasting is disclosed, comprising: receiving real time data from a first instrumented camera situated in a venue; processing the real time data to determine a first field position in the venue; activating a first microphone from a plurality of microphones in a first microphone array based on the first field position; and sending a first audio selection from the first microphone.
