    摘要: An imager that includes a pixel array with a plurality of columns having rows of pixels and with each pixel having a plurality of photodiodes and a common readout circuit that stores respective accumulation voltages from each of the plurality of photodiodes. The imager further includes row driver circuitry that controls the pixel array for pixel addressing and readout, with the row driver circuitry including a plurality of shift registers, and an image sensor controller that controls the plurality of shift registers to address the rows of pixels in the pixel array. Moreover, the row driver circuitry dynamically upward and downward shifts control signals to the pixel array, such that two rows of pixels in a single column of the pixel array are addressed during a single row time.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for minimizing delay time for controlling media content capture during live video broadcast production. The system includes a video production receiver that receives media content streams from one or more cameras that includes live media content captured by the cameras and encoded in a first encoding format. Moreover, a multi-view interface displays the media content and a video production controller generates control instructions based on inputs to the interface to change operation of the cameras capturing the respective media content. A camera controller is included that transmits the generated control instructions to the cameras to change the operation for capturing the respective media content. Moreover, the video production controls production of a live video stream for video broadcast production using media content that is captured from the cameras and that is encoded in a second encoding format different than the first encoding format.

    摘要: A media stream receiver is provided for scalable physical layer flow of packetized media streams. The media stream receiver replicates the processing block in time, rather than in hardware, through the use of a single shared memory and pointer alignment calculations, which combines multiple buffering stages as the single, shared memory buffer to offer redundancy and alignment, while acting as a receiver buffer to account for packet delay variations. By doing so the media stream receiver can perform a vertical interval switch between received media streams.

    摘要: A method and system for providing access to and control of parameters within a scenegraph includes redefining components or nodes' semantic within a scenegraph. The set of components or nodes (depending on the scenegraph structure) are required to enable access from the Application User Interface to selected scenegraph information. In one embodiment, a user interface is generated for controlling the scenegraph parameters. In addition, constraints can be implemented that allow or disallow access to certain scenegraph parameters and restrict their range of values.

    摘要: A CMOS image sensor with reducing interconnections is provided. The CMOS image sensor may include a first row of pixels that includes a first pixel. The first pixel may include a first plurality of photodiodes and a first plurality of transfer gates. Each of the first plurality of photodiodes may be associated with a corresponding one of the first plurality of transfer gates. The CMOS image sensor may include a second row of pixels that includes a second pixel. The second pixel may include a second plurality of photodiodes and a second plurality of transfer gates. Each of the second plurality of photodiodes may be associated with a corresponding one of the second plurality of transfer gates. A first one of the transfer gates of the first plurality of transfer gates may be coupled to a first one of the transfer gates of the second plurality of transfer gates.

    摘要: An analytic platform, article of manufacture, system, computer-readable medium, and method for selecting and inserting advertisements for delivery to a content viewing device. A plurality of advertising metrics are generated from data originating from a plurality of content viewing devices. Then, an advertisement is selected for presentation along with content directed to one of the content viewing devices, the advertisement being selected based on the advertising metrics. Once selected, the advertisement is added to the content for delivery to said one of the content viewing devices.
