Patent number: 11882325Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for sharing encoder output of video streams. In a particular embodiment, a method provides determining video profiles for each of a plurality of devices. The method further provides determining if two or more of the video profiles are similar by determining if parameters associated with each video profile differ by less than a threshold value. The method further provides transmitting a video stream encoded in a single format to the devices if they have similar profiles and transmitting video streams encoded in different formats to the devices if they do not have similar profiles.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: VERINT AMERICAS, INCInventor: Hugo Martel

Patent number: 11350161Abstract: What is disclosed is a video system. The video system includes a digital video recorder comprising a first camera interface configured to receive video captured from a first plurality of cameras, a packet interface configured to receive in a packet format video captured by a second plurality of cameras, and a storage system configured to store the video captured by the first plurality of cameras and the video captured by the second plurality of cameras. The video system also includes a video encoder coupled to the digital video recorder by a packet link, where the video encoder includes a second camera interface configured to receive video captured from the second plurality of cameras and an output interface configured to transfer in the packet format the video captured by the second plurality of cameras for delivery to the digital video recorder over the packet link.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Verint Americas Inc.Inventors: Hugo Martel, Charles Gregory Lampe, Louis Marchand, Jim Moran

Patent number: 8817890Abstract: The present invention comprises a system and method for controlling the rate a data encoder generates compressed data. The system and method are preferably implemented as program code stored and executed by a processor or computer that is interfaced to standard variable or constant bit rate encoders known in the art. The system preferably encodes and compresses video signals received from a camera, and controls the rate at which the compressed data is generated by the encoder so that storage capacity reserved for the compressed data will not be exceeded. The device preferably takes advantage of periods when the data generation rate is low to increase the quality of video data generated during periods of high activity.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Verint Systems Inc.Inventors: Hugo Martel, Alexandre Cottinet, Willie Kouncar
