20080231758Television Production Technique - A television production system (09-25-2008
20090167949Method And Apparatus For Performing Edge Blending Using Production Switchers - A video production switcher comprises a number of mix effects units, each mix effects unit providing a video output signal for use in displaying images on a display; a memory for storing an image; and a controller for (a) mapping the stored image to a global space, the global space associated with the display, and (b) for determining a number of viewports in the global space, each viewport associated with one of the number of mix effects units, a portion of the stored image and a screen of the display; and wherein those viewports associated with adjacent screens of the display overlap.07-02-2009
20090273715Method And Apparatus For Displaying An Image With A Production Switcher - A video production switcher comprises a number of mix effects (M/E) units and a controller. The latter comprises a control layer that controls the M/Es to provide video outputs through projection devices that give the appearance of displaying one unified pixel space canvas.11-05-2009
20100103320DUAL USE VIDEO MIXER CROSSPOINT MATRIX - A vision mixer comprises a video processor and a switching matrix. The switching matrix has a first matrix portion which selects signals for the video processor, and has a second matrix portion which selects output signals for destinations other than the video processor and beyond the vision mixer.04-29-2010
20100182508 AUXILIARY BUS TRANSITIONS ON A VIDEO SWITCHER - A mix-effects bank architecture of a video switcher having a plurality of video processing units; and an internal switcher routing matrix. The internal switcher routing matrix routing, a video source currently providing a video feed to an auxiliary output and a desired new source for the auxiliary output to a video processing unit that is not contributing towards video processing and routing an output of said video processing unit to said auxiliary output. The video processing unit that is not contributing towards video processing performs a transitional effect for the auxiliary output.07-22-2010
20110008021METHOD FOR RAPID ARCHIVING AND RESTORING OF A VIDEO STORE - An apparatus, method and software program product for rapid archiving and restoring of a video store. The method includes receiving and recording video signals representing the video data more than one time responsive to a first command; and terminating the recording of the video signals responsive to a second command. The recoding of the video signals is performed at a video rate. The method further includes receiving video signals from the video recoding device playing back the stored plurality of instances of the video data; recording the received video signals to a memory responsive to a command; and terminating the recording process when the memory is filled, wherein the recorded video signals includes at least one instance of the video.01-13-2011
20110205441MULTI-PREVIEW CAPABILITY FOR VIDEO PRODUCTION DEVICE - A video production apparatus advantageously includes at least one embedded multi-previewer (08-25-2011
