Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises a media module and a modification module included in an embedded appliance. The media module is configured to receive a first media signal associated with a first input port of the embedded appliance and a second media signal associated with a second input port of the embedded appliance. The media module is configured to identify a first set of media signal parameters based on the first media signal. The modification module is configured to receive a modification instruction associated with a session format having a second set of media signal parameters different from the first set of media signal parameters. The modification module is configured to modify the first media signal based on the first set of media signal parameters and the modification instruction to produce a first modified media signal in the session format and having the second set of media signal parameters.

Abstract: Electric motor driven imprinter apparatus for imprinting characters from a character imprint source member onto document sheets or the like, including a housing having a driven roller moved back and forth transversely across an imprint station, a horizontally slidable carrier block member and a changeable cassette carried by the block member having a changeable vertically slidable roller block member and a roller rotatably carried thereby. A pair of spaced apart rotatable sprockets and an endless drive chain having a spud projecting therefrom and provided for driving the carrier block member and roller block member back and forth through advance and return strokes spanning the imprint station.

Abstract: A document activated imprinter apparatus for imprinting characters from a credit card comprising a housing with entrance and exit slots, imprinting means, a carrier member with a flat upwardly facing surface, receiving and positioning means, guiding and reciprocating means and forward drive means.
