This invention relates to video surveillance management solutions. More specifically this invention relates to the integration of multiple tiers of dissimilar computer data storage technologies in such a manner to deliver longer term video retention and easy video playback. The device captures video data from multiple surveillance cameras and stores it on computer hard drive and then replicates to a second tier of digital data tape storage. Video retention policies are determined from parameters for the number of cameras, frame rates, resolution, and number of days of video retention desired. Storage procedures are set for multiple tiers of video storage that will allow for the highest quality video to be recorded without alteration or manipulation. A human video operator will then have the ability to select any available recorded video under management and have that video retrieved and available for display and playback without any additional steps or human interaction.

Systems and methods can support a data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus can include a data processor that is associated with a data capturing device on a stationary object and/or a movable object. The data processor can receive data in a data flow from one or more data sources, wherein the data flow is configured based on a time sequence. Then, the data processor can receive a control signal, which is associated with a first timestamp, wherein the first timestamp indicates a first time. Furthermore, the data processor can determine a first data segment by applying the first timestamp on the data flow, wherein the first data segment is associated with a time period in the time sequence that includes the first time.

An ad in a movie can be a static ad having a position in the movie that cannot be moved, or a dynamic ad having a position in the movie that can be changed. When a viewer wishes to skip a portion of the movie containing the ad, the playback system determines whether the ad is static or dynamic. If the ad is static, only the portion of the movie preceding the static ad can be skipped; the ad is unskippable. This technique is referred to as bounceback since the end of the skip bounces back to the start of the static ad. If the ad is dynamic, it is moved to after the end of the skip. This technique is referred to as slip-ad since the ad slips to later in the movie. When a movie has multiple ads, some can be static and some can be dynamic.

Systems and methods are disclosed allowing a passenger of a vehicle to use a personal electronic device to control a saving, on a storage device, of image data of video streams arising from cameras of the vehicle. The system includes at least one client/server module configured to receive and retransmit image data of a video stream received from one of the cameras to the storage device. The client/server module includes a processor configured to connect the personal electronic device to the client/server module, a receiver for receiving a request, originating from the personal electronic device, including an item representative of a set of images of the video stream to be saved and a transmitter for transmitting to the storage device image data of the video stream corresponding to the item, with a view to their saving.

A method includes grouping media items associated with a user into segments based on a timestamp associated with each media item and a total number of media items. The method also includes selecting target media from the media items for each of the segments based on media attributes associated with the media item. The method also includes generating a video that includes the target media for each of the segments by generating a first animation that illustrates a first transition from a first item from the target media to a second item from the target media with movement of the first item from an onscreen location to an offscreen location, wherein the first item is adjacent to the second item in the first animation and determining whether the target media includes one or more additional items. The method also includes adding a song to the video.

A video player includes the user interface comprising: a video display; a texture strip visually representing a series of frames of a video, the texture strip comprising a sequence of textured frame representations, each textured frame representation in sequence of textured frame representations representing a corresponding frame from a series of frames; a control to allow a user to use the texture strip to seek frames in the series of frames in a random manner. An input is received via the control, the input including an indication of a selection of a location in the texture strip, the location in the texture strip having a corresponding temporal location in the series of frames. Based on the input, a frame selected from the series of frames is displayed in the video display, the selected frame located at the corresponding temporal location in the series of frames.

A method and system for creating and editing video and/or audio tracks is described. The method includes providing at least one artist, venue, and track available for selection and providing at least one clip associated with the at least one artist, venue, and track. The method also includes allowing a user to create a custom track from the at least one clip. The system includes a plurality of video cameras for recording a live performance at a plurality of positions. The system also includes at least one server for storing a plurality of video clips created from the plurality of video cameras and an application stored on the at least one server for allowing a user to access the plurality of video clips via the Internet.

Depending on the type of an image stored in an information recording medium and display function information about a display device, an image to be displayed is acquired from a recording medium and output to the display device. A data processing unit configured to execute data reproduction from the information recording medium receives, from the display device configured to perform reproduction data display processing, image display function information such as type information about a VR image to be displayed, acquires, from a database file recorded on the information recording medium, VR identification information indicating which one of a VR image of type 1, a VR image of type 2, and non-VR image other than the VR images is included in the information recording medium, reads, from the information recording medium, image data that can be displayed on the display device based on a result of comparison between the acquired display device function information and VR identification information, and outputs the image data to the display device.

Disclosed are: an image processing device; an operation method for the image processing device; and a computer-readable recording medium. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation method for the image processing device, which can be connected to a storage medium storing a file system, can comprise the steps of: communicating with a storage medium; storing, in a file system, logic information on the bad sector of the storage medium; and blocking the bad sector from accessing data on the basis of the logic information when recording data in the storage medium or reading the recorded data according to a request of a user.
