  • Patent number: 7333156
    Abstract: For implementing an anthropomorphic visual telepresence system with high resolution and low loop latency a sequential color video loop is provided. A sequential color camera sequentially captures color images, each captured image consisting of a portion of a single color component, and provides information as separate color information relating to portions of the sequentially sensed color images. The information is transmitted as separate color information. A sequential color display receives the transmitted information and displays sequentially each color image within the received information. Synchronization means synchronize the sequence and color of corresponding portions of images comprising a single color in said display with the portions of the images sensed by said camera.

  • Patent number: 4972190
    Abstract: An analog signal digitizer for recording analog signals in a digital form on a video tape of a video cassette player. The digitizer is connectible between an audio production device, such as a compact disc, turntable, or any other audio devices of any quality, and a standard video recorder (VCR). Accordingly, the digitizer acts as an interface device, and converts the analog signals into digital form for recording on the wide band tapes utilized in these standard video recorders. The digitizer has a control circuit at the heart of its system, and it is provided with a memory device to produce control signals in association with audio information digital signals, and arranges these digital signals in a sensitized video-compatible format so that the video cassette treats the output signals of the digitizer as standard television signals.
