Abstract: One embodiment of a system for rendering media files comprises a computer configured to determine media file formats that are used by media rendering devices connected to a network and to determine media files available on the network. The computer generates media shadow files of media file formats used by the media rendering devices to accompany existing media files available on the network in alternative formats.

Abstract: An imaging subsystem is provided which includes imaging pixels arranged in rows and columns of an array. Each imaging pixel is configured to generate pixel data corresponding to a portion of an image and transfer the pixel data along its columns toward a first of the rows. Also included is a bidirectional shift register configured to receive the pixel data from the first of the rows of the array and shift the pixel data toward either a first end or a second end of the bidirectional shift register.

Abstract: An imaging subsystem is provided which includes imaging pixels arranged in rows and columns of an array. Each imaging pixel is configured to generate pixel data corresponding to a portion of an image and transfer the pixel data toward a first end or a second end of its column. Also included is a first shift register configured to receive the pixel data from the first end of the columns and shift the pixel data toward a first direction associated with a first of the columns. A second shift register is configured to receive the pixel data from the second end of the columns and shift the pixel data toward the first direction.

Abstract: A method and device for adjusting white balance are disclosed herein. The method may comprise generating data representative of an image with and without the use of a strobe. The contribution of the strobe and the contribution of ambient light are on the data are calculated. Based, in part, on the contributions of the ambient light and the strobe, a weight is calculated. The weight is applied to the data in order to adjust the white balance.
