Abstract: An apparatus for capturing video broadcasting signals comprises a plurality of capture channels, each channel producing respective video transport streams as inputs to a multi-channel virtualization module. Each channel comprises: an input interface powered by a low-noise power supply arranged to receive a respective modulated video broadcasting input signal within an input frequency band; a single input, dual output distribution amplifier arranged to produce first and second amplified input signals within a satellite broadcasting frequency band and within a cable and/or terrestrial broadcasting frequency band, respectively. A first tuner is configured to receive and downconvert the first amplified input signal to generate a first baseband signal; a second tuner is configured to receive and downconvert the second amplified input signal to generate a second baseband signal; and a demodulator is configured to receive the baseband signals as input and to generate the respective video transport stream.

Abstract: A method for processing a multimedia content previously digitally encoded into an audio-video stream and transmitted from a distribution platform for the purposes of on-demand transmission to a plurality of receiving terminals includes the following steps: applying a demultiplexing function to the audio-video stream, said function being arranged to generate at least one group of data streams; applying a transformation to each data stream; segmenting each data stream; storing the at least one group of segmented data streams in a memory; carrying out, only in response to a request issued by a receiving terminal among the plurality of receiving terminals, the following steps: selecting, on the basis of the request, at least one data stream of at least one group of stored data streams; and transmitting the at least one selected data stream to the receiving terminal that issued the request.

Abstract: A method of method of processing an image includes: determining estimates of parameters of an auto-regressive, AR, parametric model of noise contained in the image, according to which a current noise pixel is computed as a combination of a linear combination of P previous noise pixels in a causal neighborhood of the current noise pixel weighted by respective AR model linear combination parameters (φ1, . . . , φP) with a generated noise sample corresponding to an additive Gaussian noise of AR model variance parameter (σ), generating a noise template of noise pixels based on the estimated AR model parameters, wherein the noise template is of a predetermined pixel size smaller than the pixel size of the image, determining an estimate (σP) of a variance of the noise template, and based on a comparison of the estimated variance (σP) with a predetermined threshold (Tσ), correcting the AR model variance parameter (σ).
