  • Patent number: 10381046
    Abstract: Audio/video recorders are presented for recording audio and video of various types of proceedings, including court proceedings. In some examples, audio/video recorders may obtain case information associated with a case identifier from a case management database, and associate at least some of the case information with one or more audio channel inputs of the audio interface. In some examples, audio/video recorders may associate a speaker with an audio channel input of the audio interface, determine that an amplitude of an audio signal received at the audio channel input is above a threshold, determine a time when the amplitude of the audio signal at the audio channel was determined to be above the threshold, and generate metadata as a timeline indicating that the first speaker began speaking at the first time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8036265
    Abstract: A system for encoding a video signal includes an input module to receive a media signal to be communicated to a destination device, the media signal being divided into a plurality of segments each comprising one or more temporally adjacent frames. The system also includes an a encoding module configured, for each of the plurality of segments, to test a plurality of different CODECs on a segment by encoding the segment using a plurality of CODECs to produce a respective plurality of encoded segments, the selection module being further configured to select the encoded segment having the highest image quality while satisfying at least one additional constraint. The system further includes an output module configured, for each of the plurality of segments, to deliver the selected segment to the destination device and report to the destination device which CODEC was used to encode the selected segment.

  • Patent number: 7295608
    Abstract: A media streaming system for streaming media signals is provided. The media streaming system takes a library of separate and distinct CODECs that are provided as a searchable CODEC library and used in determining specific characteristics in the media signal to identify similar sections of the signal. The media streaming system uses a computer implemented intelligence system, such as an artificial intelligence mechanism to learn and capture the unique characteristics of a sinal as the signal is being streamed. The media streaming system also compresses and decompresses the media signal as the signals are streamed from a source media to a destination device.
