  • Patent number: 11825137
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting alternative image content of a physical display to different viewers, comprising: generating at least two different sets of image data, each set of image data comprising a sequence of individual images; displaying the images of said at least two sets of image data in a time-sliced multiplexed manner at a high frame rate on said physical display; generating at least one video stream of a scene which includes said physical display, said video stream consisting of video frames captured synchronously with the displaying of the images of one of said at least two sets of image data on said physical display, said captured video frames are transmitted to at least one video output at a standard frame rate, said video output being a physical video output of an intermediate processing unit or the physical video output of at least one camera unit; and transmitting said video stream to a sub-set of said viewers.

  • Patent number: 11582493
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for dynamic image content replacement in a video stream comprising generating a set of key image data (K) comprising a sequence of at least two different key images (K1, K2), periodically displaying said set of key image data (K) on a physical display, generating at least a first original video stream (O1) of a scene which includes said physical display by recording said scene with a camera, wherein said at least one video stream (O1) comprises key video frames (FK1, FK2), captures synchronously with displaying each of said at least two different key images (K1, K2) of said set of key image data (K) on said physical display, generating a mask area (MA) corresponding to an active area of said physical display visible in said key video frames from differential images (AFK) obtained from consecutive key video frames (FK1, FK2), generating at least one alternative video stream (V) by inserting of alternative image content (I) into the mask area (MA) of an original video s

  • Patent number: 11490137
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting alternative image content of a physical display to different viewers, comprising: generating at least two different sets of image data, each set of image data comprising a sequence of individual images; displaying the images of said at least two sets of image data in a time-sliced multiplexed manner at a high display frame rate (HDFR) on said physical display; generating at least two video streams of a scene which includes said physical display, wherein at least one video stream consisting of video frames captured synchronously with the displaying of images of one of said at least two sets of image data is generated at a slow motion frame rate (SMFR) which is an integer multiple of a standard broadcasting frame rate (SBFR); and transmitting said video streams to a sub-set of said viewers at said standard broadcasting frame rate (SBFR).

  • Patent number: 11336813
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and device for synchronizing a digital photography camera with alternative image content shown on a physical display, comprising: generating at least two different sets of image data, each set of image data comprising a sequence of individual images; generating a master-clock signal (M); displaying the images of said at least two sets of image data in a time-sliced multiplexed manner on said physical display triggered by said master-clock signal, generating a camera-synchronization signal (C) on the basis of said master-clock signal (M), generating a camera-actuation signal (A) for capturing at least one image with said digital photography camera; generating at least one shutter release signal (S) for said digital photography camera on the basis of said camera-synchronization signal (C) and said camera-actuation signal (A); and transmitting said at least one shutter release signal (S) to a shutter control unit of said digital photography camera.
