Abstract:
To synchronize sound information with corresponding picture information for digital cinema compositions at different frame rates in a play list during play out of the digital cinema compositions, associated audio latency settings are first established for the corresponding picture information of the digital cinema compositions in the play list in accordance with the digital cinema composition frame rates. The timing between the sound information and the picture information is then adjusted during play out of the digital cinema compositions in accordance the associated audio latency settings for the corresponding digital cinema composition frame rates.
Abstract:
A method and system for linking an article to data, for example, multimedia data. The system includes a processor with a memory; a plurality of storage mediums operatively coupled to said processor; a readable memory device included with the article, the memory device including an identifier and a pointer, wherein the identifier uniquely identifies the article and the pointer links to one or more locations of data related to a user-defined profile; a reader for reading the identifier and pointer; and an output device operably coupled to said processor for outputting the data related to the user-defined profile. The article may include an object representative of the data related to the user-defined profile and the memory device may be embedded in the object. The article may also include a tag including the memory device and means for attachment to an object.
Abstract:
A multimedium optical disk wherein whether image titles need emulation AV functions can be instantly judged even when the image titles recorded thereon have individual modes. The reproduction type information including a first flag showing whether an image title is expressed by a single or a plurality of pieces of path information in accordance with a set value, and a second flag showing whether the image title is expressed by using branch information or not in accordance with a set value is recorded on a manager region of the multimedium optical disk correspondingly to the control information on each image title.
Abstract:
A multimedia optical disk that has data areas where video data are recorded and management information areas where a channel table in which a logical channel number and a physical channel number of sub-data are correlated with each other is recorded. The video data include time-varying image data and sub-data of a plurality of channels to be selectively reproduced together with the time-varying image data are recorded in an interleaving way. The sub-data is voice data or sub-video data. The logical channel number is a channel number allocated in common to the video data. The physical channel is a channel number used for physically identifying sub-data on the optical disk. This configuration allows sub-data to be systematically managed for the video data. For example, sub-data can be continuously reproduced for video data by, for example, avoiding designating the sub-data in a physical channel in no existence.
Abstract:
A multimedia optical disk for which a title producer coordinates a viewing/listening mode including a special reproduction at will. The optical disk has an object recording area which is divided into a plurality of sub-areas and a block is recorded in each sub-area. Each block contains one or more moving picture data and management information. The management information of each block only is effective for a reproducing device in the time zone defined in units of seconds in which the moving picture data belonging to the same block are reproduced and contains user operation limiting information representing whether or not user operation is limited in the effective time zone.
Abstract:
A multimedia optical disk that eliminates routine image reproduction and remains attractive for a long time. This disk includes a data area and an index area, and a plurality of objects containing motion video data are recorded in the data area. The index area includes a plurality of sub-areas, which contain a group of write addresses extracted from a plurality of the objects recorded in the data area (Fig. 7A), flags for reproducing them at random, and the number of times of repetition of random reproduction (Fig. 7B).
Abstract:
A method of transmitting timing critical data via an asynchronous channel without changing any datum to be transmitted. The timing critical data can be an MPEG transport stream. The asynchronous channel can be a computer or telephone network, a digital storage media such as a digital VCR, or a digital interface. The method involves tagging each transmission unit of the data stream, before inputting to the channel, with timing information, and using the timing information at the output end of the channel to recreate the proper data timing. Various schemes are described for packing the timing information tags with each or a plurality of transmission units.
Abstract:
An arrangement for recording a digital video signal and a corresponding digital audio signal in slant tracks on a longitudinal magnetic record carrier, tracks comprising an audio signal recording sector and a video signal recording sector, for storing the digital audio signal and the digital video signal respectively, comprises: first and second input terminals (10, 11) for receiving the digital audio signal and the digital video signal respectively; conversion means (14, 16, 26) for converting the digital audio and video signals so as to obtain a composite signal which can be recorded on the record carrier; recording means (28, 30) for the recording of the converted audio and video signals in said composite signal in the audio signal recording sector and the video signal recording sector respectively of a track, the video signal recording sector in a track further comprising an auxiliary signal recording part for storing the digital audio signal as well.
Abstract:
A user interface for visually presenting media content items available for time-shifted playback. The user interface includes a first plurality of preview images having an aspect ratio and a first size. The user interface also includes a second plurality of preview images having the same aspect ratio and a second size, smaller than the first size. Each preview image visually represents a different media content item available for time-shifted playback. Each preview image is spatially-sorted in an array according to a temporal order with which that media content item is added to the array. Preview images having the first size alternate between being aligned above and being aligned below two side-by-side preview images having the second size.
