Abstract: The technology relates to dynamically managing storage space of one or more video recording devices. The video recording devices sends one or more notifications to recording session management server. The one or more notifications are associated with recording status of an event and the storage space status of each of the one or more video recording devices. Each device is associated with one or more predefined policies configured by a user of the video recording devices. Based on predefined policies and notifications, the recording session management server identifies change in status of free space and used space in each of the one or more video recording devices. The recording session management server schedules video recording devices to perform actions based on change in status of free space and used space and one or more event parameters for dynamically managing the storage space of the one or more video recording devices.

Abstract: A base may locate a remote control by transmitting a first location signal, receiving a second location signal at base receivers from a remote control device transponder transmitted in response, and calculating a location of the remote control device based on the received second location signal. The base may provide navigation information based on the calculated location. In some implementations, the base may perform a setup routine by providing an interface that accepts position information, accepting an indication that the remote control is located at a position, transmitting a first calibration signal, receiving a second calibration signal at the receivers transmitted by the transponder in response, and recording baselines for the position. When the base unit subsequently analyses a second location signal to calculate a location of the remote control, the base may base the calculated location at least partly on the baselines.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing a media stream transmitted from an encoding system to a remotely-located media player. The media stream is encoded according to an encoding parameter. Data is gathered about a transmit buffer within the encoding system, and the gathered data is processed to arrive at an estimate of network capacity and a calculated encoder rate. The encoding parameter is adjusted during subsequent encoding in response to a change in at least one of the estimate of network capacity and the calculated encoder rate.
