Abstract: A software product includes a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, displays a graphical user interface for a video editing system, the graphical user interface including: a media bin displaying a plurality of media elements imported into the video editing system; a viewing window for viewing a selected one of the media elements; a timeline; a concatenator element; and a focus element; responsive to a user actuating the concatenator element, concatenates the media elements present in the media bin together into a single media element and loading the single media element into the viewing window; and responsive to a user actuating said focus element, modifies the single media element to form a focused single media element that concatenates only those media elements present in the media bin with related metadata and loading the focused single media element into the viewing window.

Abstract: A digital video camera, including a heat management system, which includes at least one inlet and at least one outlet in the housing to enable air to flow through the housing. The heat management system also includes a first heat sink thermally connected to an image sensor(s), and a second heat sink thermally connected to a data processing unit(s), and a centrifugal fan. The centrifugal fan is configured to draw air into the front of the fan in an axial direction and push air radially out in a sideways direction, whereby air travels through the inlet(s) over the first heat sink and then over the second heat sink to the outlet(s).

Abstract: A digital video camera includes a data processing pipeline being operable in a plurality of modes including a first mode in which said video output data is passed to a data storage system for storage on local non-volatile storage; a second mode in which said video output data is formatted into a native video data format of a video transmission system and passed to the video transmission system for transmission; and a third mode in which said video output data is processed into a video data format that is not a native video data format of the video transmission system and passed to the video transmission system for transmission to a secondary memory.

Abstract: A camera including an image capture module, and at least one other module. The image capture module is a sealed module and includes: a housing; at least one image sensor to convert light into electrical signals; an optical system associated with the image sensor and arranged to transmit light through the housing to the at least one image sensor; the image capture module and the at least one other module being directly or indirectly mounted to each other, and interoperable with each other to capture images. An image capture module and method of construction of a camera are also described.
