The technical solution of the disclosure discloses a teleprompter, which includes a teleprompter reflector mechanism and a display support mechanism. The display support mechanism is located on the front side of the teleprompter reflector mechanism. The teleprompter further includes a clamping mechanism, which is configured to be removably connected with different positions on the back side of the teleprompter reflector mechanism. When using, a smart terminal can be clamped in the clamping mechanism so as to align the smart terminal with the shoot hole for shooting. The technology realizes to combine the smart terminal shoot with the teleprompter, so that users are convenient to use, and does not need to take additional cameras, thereby making it easy to take and reducing labor intensity.

TELEPROMPTER-STYLE PRESENTATION OF CLOSED-CAPTION TEXT

An apparatus takes text from a speech recognition device and converts this text into a smooth rolling presentation of text. The aspects of the disclosed embodiments are suited for use in a closed caption presentation of text. The user sees a smooth rolling presentation of text. Generally, a full screen of text, or 9-10 lines of text, can be presented in a smooth, rolling manner, without interruptions or pauses. There are no bursts of text, that might otherwise be realized with conventional devices. The rate of delivery of the text can be adjusted to match the rate of the speaker.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING MULTIPLE VIDEO, METADATA AND REMOTE TELECOMMAND SIGNALS FOR TELEPROMPTING AND OTHER APPLICATIONS
20210152714 · 2021-05-20 ·

An apparatus comprises at least one processing device, the at least one processing device being configured to receive an encapsulation of two or more types of content associated with a camera system, the two or more types of content comprising one or more video signals and one or more data signals. The at least one processing device is also configured to separate the encapsulation into the two or more types of content to obtain the one or more video signals and the one or more data signals, to output at least a given one of the one or more video signals to a first display unit, and to provide at least a given one of the one or more data signals to at least one of (i) a controller associated with the first display unit and (ii) a second display unit.

Parallel preview stream and callback stream processing method and device

Embodiments of this application provide a callback stream processing method and a device, and relate to the field of electronic technologies. In a callback stream scenario, an electronic device may set a preview stream and a callback stream in parallel. After an application sets a callback function, the electronic device may directly return, by using the callback function, callback stream data to the application for processing. This can shorten a time consumed for creating a preview stream and a callback stream, shorten a time consumed for obtaining callback stream data, and shorten a user waiting time.

10972640 · 2021-04-06 ·

The invention provides an adaptor for mechanically coupling a prompt box and a video camera to a tripod. In the preferred embodiment, the adaptor is a single piece bracket having a first horizontal portion with a first fastening round hole located at the first horizontal portion's center, a vertical portion with its lower end merged to the first horizontal portion, and a second horizontal portion merged to the vertical portion's upper end. The second horizontal portion has one or more second fastening round roles evenly spaced along the second horizontal portion's longitude. In operation, the prompt box is fastened to the tripod through the first fastening round hole, and the video camera is fastened through one of the second fastening round holes with a screw matching the video camera's tripod mount.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AND INTERACTING WITH COORDINATED PRESENTATIONS
20210051299 · 2021-02-18 ·

A system and method provide customizable interactive audio/video content to each of a plurality of computing devices. When executing at least some code stored in the memory, a processor generates a coordinated presentation by integrating in the memory, via a video mixer, one or more images from a camera with content selected by at least one user. Further the at least one processor is configured to process the coordinated presentation to provide an abridged version of the coordinated presentation at at least one of the remote devices.

Video Communications System with Aligned Eye Contact
20210041946 · 2021-02-11 ·

A video communication system to transmit an image of a presenter to appear displayed with eye contact at a location of an audience. The transmission system may comprise a camera positioned at the height of the eye level of the presenter with a direct view of the presenter through a semi-reflective mirror. The presenter may view in a line of sight through the semi-reflective mirror toward the camera to see a double reflection of an image display device with a live video of an audience as a reflection off the semi-reflective mirror and a secondary reflection off a mirror to display the image in a vertical orientation.

System and method for polarization and wavelength gated transparent displays

A transparent display system is provided where broadcast talent (or presenter) can see interactive content, tool palettes, prompts (and the like) as well as their own sketches and annotations, but a viewing audience sees only the broadcast talent and content intended for the viewing audience with the talent's annotation thereof. A transparent scattering screen together with optical filtering or gating of a first optical property of the light (e.g., polarization-based or wavelength-based) is used such that the first property of the light is projected onto the screen so the talent can see the projection, and a camera-side filter blocks the first property of the light so it is not seen by the camera. Simultaneously, a broadcast talent (or presenter) is illuminated by light having properties other than the first property, which allows the talent image to pass through the screen and the camera-side filter allowing the talent to be seen by camera. In some embodiments, a transparent two-sided display screen allows people on opposite sides of the screen to see each other, as well as independent 2D or 3D content from each person's side of the screen.

Synchronizing output from a fitness apparatus with media content

Fitness apparatus output can be synchronized with media content that features an instructor conducting a workout session. An instructor conducts a workout session while using a recording device to generate media data, and while a computing device executes a client application to generate command data for controlling aspects of output provided by a fitness apparatus. The media data and the command data generated by the instructor can be transmitted to user computing devices over a network. Users may consume the media data on-demand, or as a live stream while the instructor is conducting the workout session. Operations specified in the command data are driven by the timestamps in the media data to synchronize the output provided by a user's fitness apparatus with the visible cues and/or audible cues of the instructor in the media content. The intensity level of the fitness apparatus output may also be customized to the user.
