An electronic device for processing and playing a video transmitted from an input device is provided. The electronic device includes video processors and a processor. The video processors are configured to perform processing operations based on a test video including frames received from the input device to generate a sampling video including the frames, where each of the frames include at least one pattern. The processor is configured to receive the sampling video, determine whether the sampling video is output normally or not and an output order of each of the plurality of frames on the sampling video, based on the at least one pattern, and determine whether an error occurs in at least one of the input device and the plurality of video processors, based on the output order of each of the plurality of frames and whether the sampling video is output normally or not.

An encoding device evaluates a plurality of processing and/or post-processing algorithms and/or methods to be applied to a video stream, and signals a selected method, algorithm, class or category of methods/algorithms either in an encoded bitstream or as side information related to the encoded bitstream. A decoding device or post-processor utilizes the signaled algorithm or selects an algorithm/method based on the signaled method or algorithm. The selection is based, for example, on availability of the algorithm/method at the decoder/post-processor and/or cost of implementation. The video stream may comprise, for example, downsampled multiplexed stereoscopic images and the selected algorithm may include any of upconversion and/or error correction techniques that contribute to a restoration of the downsampled images.

In some implementations, techniques may include requesting a set of input video streams from a videoconferencing service. The input video streams can be received at a computing device and the streams can correspond to one or more videoconference participants. In addition, the techniques may include receiving settings for one or more output video streams of a set of output video streams. These settings can indicate one or more output video stream properties. The techniques may include producing the set of output video streams from the set of input video streams according to the one or more output video stream properties. Moreover, the techniques may include outputting one or more output video streams of the set of output video streams.

A system for transporting fast frame rate video data from a high frame rate image sensor mosaics and spreads the fast frame rate video data in 19201080p30 video frames for transporting via an existing standard video architecture. Packing information, spreading information, and unique ID/timestamps for each frame is encoded in metadata and inserted in ancillary metadata space of the 1080p30 video frames. A robust encoding scheme generates the metadata and ensures that the transported video can be reassembled into its original fast frame rate form after being spread over multiple channels.

The present invention is a method of processing a sequence of frames from digital motion picture cameras to allow remapping of the time-base of the input frames to a new and possibly variable time-base in the output frame sequence. This invention provides a method that makes small adjustments to the user's specified positions to achieve optimal integer mapping from input frames to output frames in the integrated function. The present invention provides for an algorithm for frame rate resampling providing a method for determining the mapping of input frames to output frames and a method for smoothly ramping the mapping of input frames to output frames based on interactive user input and a method for optimizing the alignment of input frames to output frames such that during areas of constant speed the alignment is optimally centered on the frames and a method for computing the weighting function for averaging input frames to output frames and a method for handling negative values in the weighting function in regions of bright highlights.

Methods and systems to release network bandwidth for a new video stream. One method includes the following steps: receiving, by a first real-time video encoder (RT-VE), a first incoming high-definition uncompressed video (HD-UV), compressing it into a first compressed video using a first low compression ratio, and sending it over a first network path to a first real-time video decoder (RT-VD). Extracting, by the first RT-VD, an outgoing HD-UV from the first compressed video. Inferring that after establishing the first network path, and as a result of insufficient bandwidth on a common link comprised in the first network path, a second RT-VE cannot send a second compressed video to a second RT-VD over a second network path that includes the common link. And Increasing on-the-fly the first compression ratio in proportion to the insufficient bandwidth, in a manner that is visually lossless for a human viewing the outgoing HD-UV.
