  • Patent number: 7363096
    Abstract: Essentially all of the processing parameters which control processing of a source audio signal to produce an encoded audio signal are stored in an audio processing profile. Multiple audio processing profiles are stored in a processing profile database such that specific combinations of processing parameters can be retrieved and used at a later time. Audio processing profiles are organized according to specific delivery bandwidths such that a sound engineer can quickly and efficiently encode audio signals for each of a number of distinct delivery media. Synchronized A/B switching during playback of various encoded audio signals allows the sound engineer to detect nuances in the sound characteristics of the various encoded audio signals.

  • Patent number: 6201924
    Abstract: A disk-assisted system for editing video tapes. Source material from video tapes is logged onto random access storage such as a hard disk drive using of a Macintosh-based computer system. At any one time, only a small portion of the tape material is stored as video frames on the computer disk. By software control, material is cached back and forth between the computer disk and the video tape. Thus editing is accomplished and an edit decision list constructed for compilation of the final video production. This provides the advantage of fast access time for editing of the material which is on the disk while allowing actual physical editing at the end of the project of the actual video tape material. The processes of logging the material onto the disk and editing the final tape are performed automatically.
