In order to solve a problem that conventionally there is no image output apparatus in which a wide-band image can be output in a narrow band, an image output apparatus includes: an accepting unit that accepts first-image information, which is information related to a first image of a first band; and multiple image output units that output second images, each of which is an image of a second band that is narrower than or equal to the first band, using the first-image information, wherein a third image obtained as a result of output of the second images by the multiple image output units is an image of a third band that is wider than the first band. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an image output apparatus in which a wide-band image can be output in a narrow band.

An apparatus for and a method of extracting a video segment from a multiplexed video are disclosed. According to some aspects of the disclosed embodiment, an apparatus, service and method for video selection/extraction are provided for when a service provider delivers a video sized greater than the screen of a user-owned device without a separate conversion, in order to extract predefined video areas in real time from the user device for a customized display on the device display screen, or extract from a network gateway or streaming server in real time the predefined video areas for a customized delivery to meet the specification of the terminal that ordered the video segment, or upon receiving user's navigated and selected video location from the terminal, extract the video segment and enlarge specified location and provides multifaceted viewing experiences for the user.

A video conversion cable, comprising: a plurality of receptacles adapted to receive video signals from respective video sources via a respective one of a plurality of video cables, each of the respective video signals having a respective video protocol; an auto sensing switch (switch) adapted to automatically select a first video signal that appears at one of the plurality of inputs to the switch and output the same; a video converter adapted to receive the selected and outputted first video signal, and convert the same from its respective video protocol to a high definition multi-media interface (HDMI) video protocol, unless the received signal was already an HDMI video protocol signal, and wherein the video converter is further adapted to output the HDMI video signal via an output HDMI cable to an HDMI video sink to display the HDMI video signal; and a pig-tail connector adapted to receive power to be sent to the switch and video converter via the output HDMI cable.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for reliably establishing a multimedia link to route one or more multimedia signals, such as high-definition and/or ultra-high-definition multimedia signals. In some instances, the user may turn on, plug in, or switch the source device that outputs multimedia signals, but the multimedia link may not be established properly due to a lock or hang up during power on and/or a coupling event. If the multimedia link has not been established continuously for a certain time period, then component(s) located along the multimedia link may be reset. In some instances, component(s) located along the multimedia link may lock or hang up if the properties of the multimedia signal do not align with configuration setting(s). The configuration setting(s) stored in configuration register(s) of the sink device may be written to one or more times to remove the lock or hang up.

A low-resolution image is displayed at high resolution and power consumption is reduced. Resolution is made higher by super-resolution processing. Then, display is performed with the luminance of a backlight controlled by local dimming after the super-resolution processing. By controlling the luminance of the backlight, power consumption can be reduced. Further, by performing the local dimming after the super-resolution processing, accurate display can be performed.

A method to be performed by a playback device includes determining whether the playback device has a function for converting first graphics in a second luminance range narrower than a first luminance range to second graphics in the first luminance range, when the playback device has the function, converting the first graphics to the second graphics, and displaying a video in the first luminance range with the second graphics being superimposed on the video, and when the playback device does not have the function, displaying the video with third graphics different from the second graphics being superimposed on the video.

Systems and methods for intelligently recording video data streams are provided. Some methods can include determining whether an area of interest in a first high resolution video data stream of a field of view of a camera includes motion. When the area of interest includes the motion, the area of interest can be cropped from the first high resolution video data stream to form a second high resolution video data stream of the area of interest, and the first high resolution video data stream of an area of non-interest in the field of view can be converted into a first low resolution video data stream of the area of non-interest. When the area of interest fails to include the motion, the first high resolution video data stream of the field of view can be converted into a second low resolution video data stream of the field of view.

A method for image processing has been disclosed. The method includes obtaining one or more images, wherein the one or more images are played at a first frame rate, segmenting each of the one or more images into a plurality of first sub-images based on a resolution supported by each of a plurality of connected interfaces of a display device, wherein the plurality of first sub-images match the resolution supported by each of a plurality of connected interfaces of a display device respectively, in response to a same synchronizing signal, adjusting synchronously the first frame rate of each of the plurality of first sub-images to a second frame rate respectively, converting each adjusted first sub-image to an output format corresponding to an output format of an interface matching the each adjusted first sub-image, and providing each converted first sub-image to an interface matching the each converted first sub-image.

To transmit ultra-high-definition image data with high frame rate along with preferable backward compatibility on the reception side. Ultra-high-definition image data with high frame rate is processed to obtain image data in a base format for obtaining a high-definition image with base frame rate, image data in a first extension format for obtaining an ultra-high-definition image with base frame rate, and image data in a second extension format for obtaining an ultra-high-definition image with high frame rate. A base video stream including encoded image data of the image data in the base format, and two or one extended video stream including encoded image data of the image data in the first extension format and encoded image data of the image data in the second extension format are generated. A container in a predetermined format including the base stream and the extended video streams is transmitted.

Methods and systems are provided for video processing. Video may be captured using an image capture device at a first definition. The image capture device may optionally be, or may be on board, an aerial vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle. A first set of video data may be transmitted to a user terminal at a second definition, which may be less than the first definition. A user may interact with the user terminal to edit the video and generate a video edit request. The video edit request may be transmitted to the image capture device, which may accordingly produce a second set of video data in accordance with the video edit request, at a third definition. The third definition may be greater than the second definition.
