Patent number: 7023488Abstract: A circuit for detecting a transition in the content of a digital video stream containing embedded audio samples and providing a smooth transition from an old audio stream embedded before the transition to a new audio stream embedded after the transition. The circuit detects the transistion and in response it fades out the old audio stream and fades in the new audio stream. During the transition, the old and new audio signal are buffered. The old stream is not faded out until only a number of audio samples required for the fading process remain in the associated buffer. The new audio stream is not faded in until a selected number of audio samples have been stored I the associated buffer. The selected number of samples is typically smaller than the number of samples that is desirably stored in the associated buffer during steady state operation. An interpolation operation is used to allow the number of new audio samples in the associated buffer to build up to the desired number.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Evertz Microsystems Ltd.Inventors: Semko Szybiak, Alan Plaunt, Romolo Magarelli

Patent number: 7002637Abstract: A system for detecting picture freeze within a video signal wherein a video signal processing portion for connection to a video signal source comprising digital video luma samples and digital video clock and timing signals separately detects motion across the vertical axis of the video picture and across the horizontal axis of the video picture and wherein a frozen picture indicating portion connected to the output of the video signal processing portion determines the number of motionless video picture frames occurring since the last video picture frame in which motion was detected to indicate picture freeze when the number of motionless video picture frames reaches a predetermined value. A noise reduction threshold signal is applied to the video signal processing portion to distinguish motion from background noise in a video signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2002Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Evertz Microsystems Ltd.Inventors: Semko Szybiak, Romolo Magarelli

Each of the input processors provides one or more packetized signals corresponding to one or more of the input signals received at the input processor. Each output processor can receive one or more packetized signals and generates one or more output signals. The output signals correspond to one or more the input signals, additional locally generated signals or data relating to the signals or any combination of such signals. The input processor can incorporate signal processors to process the input signals to provide versions of the input signals or to generate data about the input signals and for other purposes. The output processor may similarly incorporate signal processor to process signal received as part of the packetized signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2004Publication date: October 21, 2004Inventors: Rakesh Thakor Patel, Romolo Magarelli
