  • Publication number: 20210211627
    Abstract: A video processing system is provided for reducing distortion in video signals. The system includes a first transfer function that applies a transfer function to a received video signal to generate a gamma corrected video signal in a first color space; and a first matrix component that transforms the gamma corrected video signal in the first color space to a gamma corrected signal in a second color space, and extracts a luminance component from the gamma corrected signal in the second color space. Moreover, the system includes a second transfer function that generates a gamma corrected downsampled video signal in the first color space, and a second matrix component that transforms the gamma corrected video signal in the first color space to a gamma corrected video signal in the second color space, and extracts the chroma component in the second color space.

  • Publication number: 20210044867
    Abstract: A system is provided for measuring delay between audio and video signals. The system includes a transmission device for embedding a video timestamp to a video signal based on at least one remote timestamp generated by a first time server; and for embedding an audio timestamp to an audio signal based on the at least one remote timestamp generated by a first time server. Moreover, a delay processor determines an absolute delay and a relative delay between the audio and video signals by comparing each of the extracted video timestamp and the extracted audio timestamp with a local timestamp generated by the second time server. A synchronization signal is generated based on the measured absolute and relative delays; and used to synchronize the audio signal with the video signal to generate a media playout signal.
