Abstract:
A supplemental audio content system may include a storage device (40a, 40d) for storing supplemental audio content, a time tagger (51a) cooperating with a clock (50a) for generating time tagged identification data based upon identification data from the motion picture film (34a) during playing thereof, and a synchronizer (52a) for synchronizing playing of the supplemental audio content with playing of a motion picture film (34a) and based upon the time tagged identification data. The supplemental audio content may supplement the primary or main movie soundtrack. The supplemental audio content may include spoken words and be devoid of music or sound effects. For example, the supplemental audio content may comprise alternate language audio content, or may comprise descriptive narrative audio content, such as to assist the sight impaired.
Abstract:
A system (10) and method that encodes information into a video signal by substituting luminance information within the video signal with a modulated frame of content data on one or more lines of the active portion of the video signal to provide an additional information channel on the video signal. A modulation and video synchronization circuit (32) converts content data into at least one modulated frame of content data having video synchronization information. An interleaver (34) is operatively connected to the modulation and video synchronization circuit (32) and interleaves the modulated frame of content data within at least one selected line of the video signal.
