Patent number: 8843976Abstract: According to one embodiment, a video server includes an encoder, a transmission module, storage modules, and a controller. The encoder outputs a request in response to encoding a video signal. The controller confirms whether or not the number of outputs of video data and a video file to the storage modules within a time interval is less than a limitation number in response to the request. The controller selects the best storage module to store the encoded video data from among the storage modules if the number of outputs is less than the limitation number. The apparatus controller transmits an instruction to the encoder designating the selected storage module as a transmission destination. The encoder outputs the encoded video data designating the transmission destination. The transmission module transmits the output video data to the transmission destination. The storage modules designated as the transmission destination stores the transmitted video data.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Shuichi Yamaguchi, Toshio Suzuki
