Abstract: A method for operating a video system is provided. The method includes receiving video data comprising a scene from a video capture device at a video processor, and processing the video data to produce first video data of the scene at a first quality level in the video processor. The method continues by transferring the first video data at a first data rate from the video processor to a remote video processor, receiving a control signal, and processing the video data to produce second video data of the scene at a second quality level in response to the control signal in the video processor, where the second quality level is greater than the first quality level. The method concludes by transferring the second video data at a second data rate from the video processor to the remote video processor.

Abstract: A method for operating a video system is provided. The method includes receiving video data of a first scene and a second scene, processing at least a first portion of the video data to generate a first video of the first scene having a first quality level, processing at least a second portion of the video data to generate a second video of the second scene having a second quality level, and processing at least a third portion of the video data to detect an occurrence of an event in the first scene. In response to detecting the occurrence of the event in the first scene, the method continues by processing at least a fourth portion of the video data to generate a third video of the first scene at a third quality level, where the third quality level is different than the first quality level, and transferring the third video for display.
