  • Reading image frames as files
    Patent number: 7218845
    Abstract: First selected image frames in a native format are read from a frame storage device (103) and are directly modified in response to a first process. Output signals are supplied to a display device (102) such that the display device displays a view of stored frames. The frames are stored in the native format but appear in the view as if stored in an alternative format. Frames are selected and in response to receiving input selection signals, selected frames are translated into an alternative format and supplied to a second process in the translated formats.

  • Image processing
    Patent number: 7164809
    Abstract: A method of writing image data files to frame storage means, implemented as an array of disks, on which image data is stored as contiguous clips of frames. A remote system transmits a plurality of data packets over a network in any order, the data packets constituting a plurality of image data files. A local system connected to the frame storage means receives the data packets from the remote system and stores them in a buffer so as to arrange the image data files in a display sequence order. The local system then writes the image data files to the frame storage means as a contiguous clip of frames.
