  • BROADCAST MODULE FOR A DIGITAL CAMERA
    Publication number: 20150288942
    Abstract: A broadcast module for a modular video camera is disclosed. The broadcast module is configured to generate a plurality of data streams formatted for broadcast purposes. Each data stream can represent a reduced-resolution representation of the video data captured with the video camera or each data stream can represent a fraction of a full-resolution portion of the video data captured with video camera. The broadcast module can apply color processing to a raw digital video stream to enable real-time previews on one or more monitors of captured video data. The broadcast module can also apply color processing to a raw digital video stream to enable storage of processed video data.

  • VIDEO CAMERA WITH CAPTURE MODES
    Publication number: 20170163861
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a video camera that can be configured to allow tagging of recorded video and/or capture of video segments or sequences of images in response to user actuation of a camera control identifying an event of interest. For example, a user may press a button on the camera when an event of interest occurs, and in response the camera may tag a captured video file at a timestamp corresponding to the event. In another example, the user may initiate capture of video segments or sequences of images at an occurrence of an event of interest by pressing a button. The camera may include an image data buffer that may enable capture of video segments and/or sequences of images occurring before the user initiates capture of the event. User interfaces may enable the user to quickly review the captured video or sequences of images of the events of interest.

  • Focus assist system and method
    Patent number: 9690168
    Abstract: 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.

  • DIGITAL CAMERA WITH WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
    Publication number: 20140270687
    Abstract: Modular digital camera systems, such as modular digital still and motion cameras are disclosed. Individual modules may be removed from the system and replaced, such as to benefit from upgraded technology, while preserving the remaining modules in the system. The modules may be disassembled and reconstructed to convert the physical form of the camera, such as between still configurations, motion configurations, ENG configurations, DSLR configurations and studio configurations. The modules may be used to add wireless capabilities employing standard wireless protocols to allow a variety of devices to control or communicate with the modular digital camera system. The wireless capabilities may also be used to present a soft interface for camera control to the user, exposing a variety of variables and controls to the user that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to access.

  • VIDEO IMAGE DATA PROCESSING IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20210400272
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device for compressing video image data includes a housing, an image sensor, a memory device, and one or more processors. The image sensor can generate image data from light incident on the image sensor. The one or more processors can transform the image data to obtain transform coefficients, quantize the transform coefficients, encode the quantized transform coefficients, and store the quantized transform coefficients to the memory device. The one or more processors can encode the quantized transform coefficients at least by determining a range of multiple ranges in which one transform coefficient is included, determining a value within the range to which the one transform coefficient corresponds, encoding using a first algorithm the range as a range code, and encoding using a second algorithm the value as a value code.

  • VIDEO DISTRIBUTION AND PLAYBACK
    Publication number: 20140196079
    Abstract: 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.
