  • IMAGE ACQUISITION AND TRANSCODING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100309975
    Abstract: A method and system are provided to encode a video sequence into a compressed bitstream. An encoder receives a video sequence from an image-capture device, together with metadata associated with the video sequence, and codes the video sequence into a first compressed bitstream using the metadata to select or revise a coding parameter associated with a coding operation. Optionally, the video sequence may be conditioned for coding by a preprocessor, which also may use the metadata to select or revise a preprocessing parameter associated with a preprocessing operation. The encoder may itself generate metadata associated with the first compressed bitstream, which may be used together with any metadata received by the encoder, to transcode the first compressed bitstream into a second compressed bitstream.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 31, 2009
    Publication date: December 9, 2010
    Applicant: APPLE INC.
