摘要:
An electronic system including signal processing circuitry that can operate in video and still image modes. Incoming image data is processed and compressed according to the operating mode. Processing includes scaling logic configured to use scaling methodologies appropriate to each mode. Compressing includes using compression methodologies appropriate to each mode.
摘要:
A cost effective digital image capture apparatus such as a digital camera that operates in both still mode and video mode, using a common programmable image processing chain and fixed optics. The full resolution of the image sensor (yielding raw image data) may be used in still mode, with adequate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) achieved either from the scene ambient lighting or from supplemental light supplied by a strobe. In video mode, the apparatus may be configured to capture video image data by programming the parameters for image processing methodologies such as scaling, decorrelation, and encoding into a look-up table (LUT) which in turn configures logic circuitry to spatially scale and compress if necessary the raw image data in order to meet storage and transmission bandwidth constraints for video images. In video mode, adequate SNR may be achieved despite the lower light conditions, encountered, for example, during videoconferencing, by averaging pixels together during scaling.

A method and system for automatically capturing user edits in a digital recording are described. The method involves determining a beginning time stamp for an edit segment in a digital recording and an ending time stamp for the edit segment in the digital recording. The method then receives an indication from a user whether to modify the edit segment for subsequent viewing of the digital recording.

A dynamic region, such as subtitles, is detected in a stream of digital video, and displayed along with a static region also in the stream, such as a video region, so that nearly all of the total vertical display area of a monitor displaying the dynamic and static regions is filled. For example, when the dynamic region is detected, the vertical size of the static region is adjusted to allow the vertical display of the dynamic and static region on the monitor simultaneously, without extending beyond or reducing to less than the total vertical display size of the monitor. Also, when the dynamic region is not detected, the vertical height of the static region is adjusted to fill the total vertical display size. Moreover, iterative increase and decrease in the vertical sizes of the regions may allow for a more pleasant viewer experience.

An audio/video device may be part of or coupled to a video display, such as a television. The audio/video device may sync up with dedicated remote controls and remote controls, such as cellular telephones, that are not dedicated to the audio/video device. As a result, multiple independent displays may be provided, including a first display on said video display that may, for example, be a television program and a second display on each of one or more remote controls. The remote controls may display desired information independent of other remote controls and independent of the video display. For example, the remote controls may display an electronic programming guide, while the video display displays a television program.

摘要:
A user interface representing a channel lineup reorganization based on metadata may be described. An apparatus may comprise a user interface module to display at least one shorter list of relevant channels from a channel lineup. The at least one shorter list of relevant channels is determined by user input and metadata associated with content available via channels in the channel lineup. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
