Patent number: 8878952Abstract: Embodiments provide a video camera that can be configured to highly compress video data in a visually lossless manner. The camera can be configured to transform blue and red image data in a manner that enhances the compressibility of the data. The data can then be compressed and stored in this form. This allows a user to reconstruct the red and blue data to obtain the original raw data for a modified version of the original raw data that is visually lossless when demosacied. Additionally, the data can be processed in a manner in which the green image elements are demosaiced first and then the red and blue elements are reconstructed based on values of the demosaiced green image elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Red.com, Inc.Inventors: James Jannard, Thomas Graeme Nattress

Publication number: 20140300805Abstract: In one embodiment, a camera includes an image sensor within a camera housing that converts light entering the camera housing through an optical filter into digital image data. The optical filter can have a variable opacity. A processor in communication with the image sensor identifies operation settings for the optical filter and adjusts an opacity level of the optical filter over an exposure period in accordance with the operation settings for the optical filter. In addition, the processor modifies values of the digital image data based at least on the operation settings for the optical filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2014Publication date: October 9, 2014Applicant: RED.COM, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Wayne Davis, Robert Rose, Thomas Graeme Nattress, Peter Jarred Land, James H.

Publication number: 20140226036Abstract: Embodiments provide a video camera that can be configured to highly compress video data in a visually lossless manner. The camera can be configured to transform blue, red, and/or green image data in a manner that enhances the compressibility of the data. The camera can be configured to transform at least a portion of the green image data in a manner that enhances the compressibility of the data. The data can then be compressed and stored in this form. This allows a user to reconstruct the red, blue, and/or green image data to obtain the original raw data or a modified version of the original raw data that is visually lossless when demosacied. Additionally, the data can be processed in a manner in which at least some of the green image elements are demosaiced first and then the red, blue, and/or some green elements are reconstructed based on values of the demosaiced green image elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2014Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: RED.COM, INC.Inventors: James H. Jannard, Thomas Graeme Nattress, Richard Greene, Uday Mathur

Publication number: 20140211042Abstract: Certain cameras and systems described herein produce enhanced dynamic range still or video images. The images can also have controlled or reduced motion artifacts. Moreover, the cameras and systems in some cases allow the dynamic range and/or motion artifacts to be tuned to achieve a desired cinematic effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: RED.COM, INC.Inventors: James H. Jannard, Thomas Graeme Nattress, Bimal Mathur, Uday Mathur, Deanan DaSilva, Peter Jarred Land

Publication number: 20140196079Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a content delivery network with one or more network-connected audiovisual players. A content delivery network provider can provide an access module residing within a network-connected audiovisual player wherein the access module can be configured to control the player. The access module can be configured to function within a gateway environment on the player such that the gateway environment passes commands from the access module to the firmware or secure module on the player operating in a secure environment. As a result, each player with the access module can become a part of the content delivery network as the content delivery network provider can control the network-connected audiovisual players. The content delivery network can implement multi-level access controls to licenses and encryption keys to secure audiovisual content.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: RED.COM, Inc.Inventors: James H. Jannard, Peter Jarred Land, Rob Wouter Lohman, Jon Flickinger, Jon Anthony Farhat, Stuart J. English, Thomas Graeme Nattress

Patent number: 8358357Abstract: Embodiments provide a video camera configured to capture, compress, and store video image data in a memory of the video camera at a rate of at least about twenty three frames per second. The video image data can be mosaiced image data, and the compressed, mosaiced image data may remain substantially visually lossless upon decompression and demosaicing.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Red.Com, Inc.Inventors: James Jannard, Thomas Graeme Nattress

Publication number: 20120314116Abstract: According to some aspects, a method for assisting the adjusting of a focus of an image includes providing a graphical representation of a detected image. The method can also include receiving an indication of a user selection of a region of the image and providing a magnified graphical representation of the selected image region. The method may further include providing a graphical indication of a degree of focus for at least a portion of the selected image region. The graphical indication in some instances is visually correlated with the magnified graphical representation of the selected image region. The size, shape, and/or color of the graphical indication in some instances can be correlated with the degree of focus for at least a portion of the selected image region.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2012Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: RED.COM, INC.Inventors: James H.
