摘要:
The invention relates generally to an apparatus and a method for receiving and processing information, and for adapting the operational characteristics of the processing in response to material included in the received information. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus and a method embodying a software-controlled process which adapts or modifies the software in response to the received information. Although the invention has many applications, the invention is more particularly described in connection with a motion picture application in which film stock carries a conventional analog SVA soundtrack and a digital soundtrack with a digital representation of the software required to properly process the digital soundtrack. An apparatus and a method according to one embodiment establishes what version of software is required to properly process the digital soundtrack, optionally modifies its sofware from information carried with the digital soundtrack if the current version on hand is not appropriate, and uses the updated version of software to process the digital soundtrack on the remainder of the current film and other future films until such time as another software update is required.

The invention relates generally to a storage medium carrying symbols representing digital information, the recovery from a storage medium of symbols representing digital information and the determination of the digital information represented by such symbols. More particularly, the invention relates to storage media carrying the symbols in two dimensions and to the recovery of such symbols by oversampling in two dimensions. While the invention has many applications, the invention is described in connection with preferred embodiments in which the symbols are carried by and recovered from an optical-storage medium, namely, motion picture film, the symbols representing digital information into which motion picture soundtrack and related information is encoded.
摘要:
La présente invention concerne généralement un support de stockage portant des symboles représentant des informations numériques, l'extraction, d'un support de stockage, de symboles représentant des informations numériques, et la détermination des informations numériques représentées par de tels symboles. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne des supports de stockage portant les symboles en deux dimensions, ainsi que l'extraction de ces symboles par suréchantillonnage en deux dimensions. Tandis que l'invention a de nombreuses applications, elle est décrite dans la cadre de modes préférés de réalisation dans lesquels les symboles sont portés par et extraits d'un support de stockage optique, à savoir un film cinématographique, les symboles représentant des informations numériques dans lesquelles sont encodées la bande son du film et des informations connexes.
