Transmission apparatus, transmission method, reception apparatus, and reception method
A processing load on a reception side when subtitle graphics data is superimposed on video data is alleviated. A video stream including video data is generated. A subtitle stream including bitmap data is generated, the bitmap data being obtained by converting subtitle graphics data. A container having a predetermined format containing the video stream and the subtitle stream is transmitted. The subtitle stream includes a bitmap conversion table containing conversion information of a color gamut and/or a luminance. On the reception side, subtitle graphics data having characteristics matched with those of target video data of a superimposition destination can be easily obtained by just converting the bitmap data to the subtitle graphics data by using the bitmap conversion table.
Data output apparatus, data output method, and data generation method
A data output apparatus includes: a video decoder that decodes a video stream to generate a first video signal; an external metadata acquisition unit that acquires one or more pieces of metadata corresponding to one or more first conversion modes; an HDR metadata interpreter that interprets one of the one or more pieces of metadata to acquire characteristic data and conversion auxiliary data; a DR converter that supports one or more second conversion modes and performs conversion processing of a luminance range of the first video signal based on the conversion auxiliary data to generate a second video signal; and an HDMI output unit that outputs the second video signal to a display apparatus.
Weave streaming content into a linear viewing experience
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for providing recommendations based on non-streaming content on a media device. In a non-limiting embodiment, an apparatus, such as a media device, may provide recommendations of related streaming content based on non-streaming content retrieved from non-streaming sources and retrieving the streaming content from distributed streaming sources. The media device may monitor a transmission and display of non-streaming content and create a fingerprint of the non-streaming content based on the monitoring. And based on the fingerprint, the media device may generate recommendations of related or similar streaming content that can be retrieved and displayed by the media device.
Method and apparatus for creating, distributing and dynamically reproducing room illumination effects
A content stream comprising video and synchronized illumination data is based on a reference lighting setup from, for example, the site of the content creation. The content stream is received at a user location where the illumination data controls user lighting that is synchronized with the video data, so that when the video data is displayed the user's lighting is in synchronization with the video. In one embodiment, the illumination data is also synchronized with events of a game, so that a user playing games in a gaming environment will have his lighting synchronized with video and events of the game. In another embodiment, the content stream is embedded on a disk.

Methods, systems and media for interacting with content using a second screen device
Methods, systems, and media for interacting with content using a second screen device are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: receiving, from a remote media streaming device, a request to present media content items; sending, over the Internet, interactive content to the media streaming device as a stream of video; causing the interactive content to be presented by the media streaming device; causing a notification to be sent to a computing device associated with the media streaming device indicating that the content being presented by the media streaming device is interactive content; receiving instructions from the computing device to control how an object depicted in the interactive content is presented; updating the interactive content based on the instructions; sending the updated interactive content to the media streaming device as a stream of video; and causing the updated interactive content to be presented by the media streaming device.
Broadcasting an information signal having special content for triggering an appropriate action in a user device
The problem is solved by a method for broadcasting a broadcast signal, comprising generating an information signal having in time a first content up to a certain time and a second content after this time. The information signal is broadcast as a broadcast signal via a first communication link. At least one first feature is being provided with respect to the second content, for example an advertisement. The second content is detected in the information signal using the at least one first feature. On detection of the second content in the information signal at least one second feature is extracted from the first content in the information signal preceding the second content. The at least one second feature is sent to a user device using a second communication link, different from the first communication link, the second communication link being faster than the first communication link.
CAMERA ANALYZING IMAGES ON BASIS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR
Provided is an operating method for an artificial intelligence (AI) camera that communicate with at least one another AI camera, the operating method including: configuring a cluster for the image analysis together with other AI camera by exchanging registration information with the other AI camera; sharing, with the other AI camera, registration information about normal cameras used to access the normal cameras; receiving, based on one of the normal cameras being allocated to AI camera, an image captured by the allocated normal camera by accessing the allocated normal camera; analyzing the received image using an AI processor in the AI camera; and transmitting a result of the analyzing the received image together with an identifier of the allocated normal camera to an external device.
