Abstract: Video content enhancement methods, systems and devices are disclosed. An input video 11 is processed to generate an augmentation descriptor 4 from it, the augmentation descriptor 4 defining augmentations that enhance the content of the input video 11. An output video 14 is generated by combining the augmentations defined by the augmentation descriptor 4 with the input video 11, so that playback of the output video 14 features said augmentations. A timecoded transcript is generated from at least an audio portion of the input video 11, and the timecoded transcript is processed to generate from it a set of transcript-derived enhancements. The set of transcript-derived enhancements are added to the augmentation descriptor 4 as augmentations for enhancing the content of the input video 11.

Abstract: A sample processing assembly for treatment of a sample on a substrate, the assembly including: a mounting surface for the substrate; and a cover member, the cover member being movable between an open position and a substantially closed position, wherein, when the substrate is placed in the assembly and the cover member is in the substantially closed position, a reaction chamber is formed for processing the sample between the cover member and the substrate, and wherein the mounting surface provides for an air gap between the substrate and the mounting surface. An instrument for treatment of a sample on a substrate including at least one sample processing assembly as provided herein. A method of placing a substrate in a sample processing assembly is also provided.
