| 20080310451 | Splitting of a Data Stream - The present invention relates to a method of splitting a data stream into packets which comprise either only video units or only non-video units in order to better enable the enhancement of a displayed video stream using IFD without causing any audio artifacts. The gist of the present invention is the insight and the realisation of splitting the data stream into smaller packets than is customary. Thus it becomes possible to produce packets comprising either video units or non-video units, and in case of video units, packets pertaining to only one video frame. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090016435 | REPLACEMENT OF FRAME DATA IN A VIDEO STREAM SIGNAL - An apparatus processes a video stream signal. The video stream signal represents a succession of frames, comprising a plurality of dependent frames that each provide for prediction of visual content using selectable ones of a preceding and following anchor frame that precede and follow the plurality of frames respectively. When a shortage of transmission bandwidth occurs, the apparatus generates a processed version of the video stream signal wherein a bit-rate alteration is performed starting from one of the dependent frames before an end of said plurality. Said alteration is executed by substituting a standard prediction from the following anchor frame at least for data in the video stream signal that encodes a region in said one of the dependent frames. The bit rate alteration is accompanied by a switch to a mode in which the processing circuit substitutes a standard prediction from the following anchor frame in all following dependent frames that follow said one of the dependent frames until the following anchor frame, for data in the video stream signal that encodes the region in said following dependent frames. In an embodiment interlacing is killed for the replaced regions. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20100306411 | METHOD OF TRANSCODING CONTENT, TRANSCODER UNIT, AND UPNP NETWORK SYSTEM - A method of transcoding a content stored on a first server (OS) is provided. The first server (OS) is arranged within an UPnP network comprising at least one first server (OS), at least one UPnP renderer (UR) and at least one UPnP control point (CP). The content directoryservices (CDS) of the at least one first server (OS) are browsed to determine the available content and the available encodings of the content. The rendering capabilities of the at least one renderer (UR) are determined. The rendering capabilities of the at least one renderer (UR) are compared with the available content and the available encoding of the content according to the content directory service of the at least one server (OS). The content directoryservice (CDS) of the at least one server (OS) is updated. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100328527 | Fast Channel Switch Between Digital Television Channels - The invention relates to a method for outputting a first digital video stream (BTS′). The method comprises: i) receiving a first transport stream (TS | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110109811 | FAST SERVICE SCAN - A method of performing a service scan for available channels across a bandwidth of an input signal, the method comprising the steps of: acquiring a power spectrum of the input signal bandwidth; analysing the power spectrum to identify a list of candidate channels, each candidate channel being identified by at least a centre frequency; processing each of the candidate channels in a receiver unit to extract service information, if present, relating to the candidate channel; and storing the service information for the channel in a memory. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20110291832 | PRESENCE DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A presence detection system for detecting objects which move through an entrance of a space. The system is based on the idea to create a signature of a moving object which can be used to determine whether the object is a human being. | 12-01-2011 |
