Patent number: 9369726Abstract: Various arrangements for testing video decoder device functionality are presented. A video frame decoded by a video decoder device under test may be received. The received video frame may be segmented into a plurality of blocks. A first value may be calculated for a first block of the plurality of blocks of the received video frame using pixel values of pixels present within the first block. The first value may be compared to a first reference value. The first reference value may correspond to a first reference block of one or more reference frames. Video decoder functionality of the video decoder device may be determined to be functional at least partially based on comparing the first value to the first reference value.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: DISH NETWORK L.L.C.Inventors: Jason Valdez, Wayne Kunze

Patent number: 9154832Abstract: Various arrangements for determining a frame number of a video frame are presented. A decoded video frame may include a test image and a numerical color pattern. A first color present within the color pattern of the video frame at a first predefined location may be identified. A second color present within the color pattern of the video frame at a second predefined location may be identified. The frame number of the video frame may be identified using at least the first color and the second color.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: DISH NETWORK L.L.C.Inventors: Jason Valdez, Wayne Kunze
