  • Patent number: 10810697
    Abstract: A process receives, with a processor, a plurality of image device properties corresponding to an image capture device. Further the process selects, with the processor, one or more of the plurality of image device properties based on one or more pipeline criteria. The pipeline criteria indicate one or more weights corresponding to the plurality of image device properties. Additionally, the process truncates, with the processor, the one or more selected image device properties to a predetermined number of characters based on a human readability factor. The human readability factor is provided by the one or more pipeline criteria. The process automatically generates, with the processor, a device parameter data structure by ordering the truncated one or more image device properties according to the one or more weights. Moreover, the process transmits, with the processor, the device parameter data structure through a video post-production pipeline.

  • Patent number: 9218132
    Abstract: A process for cataloguing information to an LTO storage device is disclosed. The process begins by writing content data the user wishes to store to an LTO storage device. In one embodiment, such content is written such that each portion of the content is associated with a file. Once the LTO storage device has stored the content, a user creates a catalog identifying particular locations on the LTO storage device associated with particular files of the content the user wishes to recall in the future. The catalog is then stored on a separate memory for later use.

  • Patent number: 9146681
    Abstract: A process for obtaining information from an LTO storage device using a catalog such as the catalog is disclosed. At the outset, a user requests to access one or more files from the LTO storage device. The user then accesses a catalog constructed in the manner discussed above that indicates the location of the desired files on the LTO storage device. From there, the user commands an appropriately configured LTO robot to seek out the desired files located on the LTO storage device. Upon receiving the commands, the LTO robot locates the desired file by reading the entire tape, decodes the desired files and delivers them to the user.

  • Publication number: 20150215401
    Abstract: A method and system for accessing files in a non-volatile storage medium is disclosed. The accessing files in a non-volatile storage medium includes choosing an active directory of a storage area network, the storage area network being a part of a non-volatile storage medium; selecting an edit decision list associated with the active directory; performing a search of the active directory, resulting in a plurality of files found on the storage area network; placing the plurality of files in a selected folder; and linking the selected folder with the active directory in the storage area network.

  • Patent number: 8929651
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and associated apparatus for improving the quality of digital imagery by detecting and correcting erroneous pixel values from image sensors, such as those produced by stuck or dead pixels in a CCD or CMOS sensor. Anomalous pixel values are detected through comparisons with values of adjacent pixels and corrected selectively per channel through interpolation of adjacent pixel values.

  • Publication number: 20130194416
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for archiving video content to film and recovering the video from the film archive. Video data corresponding to the content and a characterization pattern associated with the data are provided as encoded data, which is recorded onto a film for producing a film archive. The characterization pattern contains spatial, temporal and colorimetric information relating to the video data, and provides a basis for recovering the video content from the film archive.
