    摘要: An image processor is provided for correcting brightness of saturated pixels of a captured image. The image processor can include a pixel saturation determiner that whether one or more pixels in an image sensor have been saturated by comparing pixel brightness levels of the pixels to a predetermined saturation threshold. Moreover, the image processor includes an image enhancer that generates a corrected image without artifacts due to the saturated pixel(s) by replacing the pixel brightness of the saturated pixel(s) with a pixel correction value that is based on a pixel brightness of one or more unsaturated pixel in the image sensor.

    摘要: A system is provided for partial matching of settings across cameras. The system includes a camera setting controller that controls control elements of a target camera for capturing video content of a scene. Moreover, a transfer module detects a request to transfer settings from a reference camera to the target camera and a look determiner determines a look of a scene of the video content being captured by the at least one target camera. The transfer module retrieves the control elements of the reference camera and related image capture control settings that correspond to the obtained image capture control settings of the at least one target camera. The transfer module then transfers the image capture control settings of the control elements from the reference camera to the target camera, such that the settings are applied to the target camera to modify the capturing of video content of the scene.

    摘要: A pointer controlling apparatus, a control method, and a pointer controlling program are provided which can protect a button from erroneous operation without interrupting the operational flow or using excessive display area. The pointer controlling apparatus permits a pointer to move into a predetermined region after a predetermined period of time has elapsed from a point in time when the pointer comes into contact with a boundary line of the predetermined region. Accordingly, the predetermined area can be securely protected from a point in time at which the pointer comes into contact with the boundary line of the predetermined region for the predetermined amount of time. Furthermore, since the pointer is permitted to enter the predetermined region immediately after the predetermined time has elapsed, the predetermined region can be protected without interrupting the operational flow, and without using an excess of a display region.

    摘要: Metadata generated at the outset of an audio visual program, such as a television undergoes transmission to a field device associated with a capture device operated by production personnel, such as a news reporter and/or a videographer to capture one of audio and/or video information. The production personnel will typically edit the metadata for incorporation into the file structure of audio and/or visual information captured by the capture device. A server receives and updates the original metadata using the metadata in the file structure of the capture audio and/or video information, thus effectively harvesting the original metadata.

    摘要: A method is proposed for controlling a device for distribution of audio, video, data and control signals. The device has a number of inputs and outputs, which can be connected by the switching of takes, and which cover signal paths. Tally signaling signals inputs or outputs as being transmission-relevant. The method comprises the following steps: successful switching operations of takes are locked against further switching operations automatically and without any intervention by an operator. Signal paths are completely locked or unlocked on the basis of tally signaling of an input or output by automatic locking or unlocking of the takes involved. Signal paths are combined to form signal bundles. When signal bundles are locked or unlocked on the basis of tally signaling of the bundle, all of the signal paths involved are automatically locked or unlocked.
