Abstract: A control apparatus is connected to a server device storing content and to a playback device, and controls playback of the content at the playback device. The control apparatus includes a receiver that receives the content from the server device, and a controller that transmits to the playback device information about a first playback position in the content received by the receiver.

Abstract: An information device is provided that includes a communication component and a controller. The communication component communicates with an external device. The controller downloads video data from the external device through the communication component. The controller performs processing for playing the video data. The controller executes an application for playing the downloaded video data. The controller sends a download request for each divided video data, with the divided video data being obtained by dividing up the video data.

Abstract: A video device for receiving capture image data from a server and displaying video based on the received capture image data or causing video based on the received capture image data to be displayed by a display device is provided with a network interface for connecting to a LAN, and a discovery unit for searching for the server within the LAN and discovering the server within the LAN. In a case in which the server discovered by the discovery unit is a plurality, the video device acquires capture image data from each of the plurality of servers and performs a thumbnail display of an acquired capture image from each of the plurality of servers or causes a thumbnail display of an acquired capture image from each of the plurality of servers to be performed by the display device.

Abstract: This optical disk device includes a video recording means, a replay means, and an actuation means. The video recording means performs video recording of contents data upon an optical disk cell by cell. The replay means performs replay of the contents data, and performs special replay which differs from the replay by one or more of replay speed and replay direction. And the actuation means designates a desired predetermined time instant. During the video recording, the video recording means records upon the optical disk recording position information which specifies the recording position upon the optical disk of the cell which is video recorded at the predetermined time instant. Moreover, during performance of the special replay, when the special replay arrives at the cell which is corresponding to the recording position information, the replay means stops the special replay and starts the replay from that cell.

Abstract: A hard disk recorder has a time-shift playback function of storing, on an HDD, a program which is now being received, displaying the stored program, even if program-storing is still under way, in such a manner that the program is displayed from an arbitrary section of the program among program sections that have already been stored, and pausing the display of the program or changing the display speed according to an operation by a user while the program is being watched. A control unit sets, in response to a channel-switch instruction, the HDD in a pause state from which a storing operation can immediately be started, thereafter sets the HDD in a recording-wait state to switch the channel, and sets the HDD in a playback state according to a determination that the HDD is in a recording-wait state.

Abstract: A video recording/reproducing apparatus includes a recording system for inputting video information via an input unit and successively recording and accumulating the input information in an HDD, and a reproducing system for reading the information in the order of input from the HDD for the purpose of reproducing the information to output an image via an output unit. In the recording system, the input information is successively recorded in a buffer which allows a higher writing/reading relative to the HDD, temporarily stored in the buffer, and then read from the buffer in the order to input to be processed and written to the HDD. For a live reproduction, if a CPU determines that information to be reproduced is recorded in the buffer, the CPU controls an AVSW (audio-visual switch) to switch it for reading the information not from the HDD but from the buffer and output the information to the output unit.

Abstract: An extruding and molding material suitable for the production of packaging materials for the protection of metal articles against corrosion is obtained by admixing a thermoplastic resin with an organic monoamine and an acid. The organic monoamine and the acid react to form a volatile corrosion inhibitor at the high temperature encountered in the extruding and molding process.
