A method and system for airing broadcast signals is disclosed. Preferably, the system includes a production truck interface panel receiving a broadcast signal. A transmission relay circuit relays the signal from the interface panel to a broadcast network, and preferably including a broadcast signal detection circuit, and a signal processing circuit. The detection circuit determines a signal type of the broadcast signal, and the signal processing circuit processes the determined signal type. The system preferably further includes an operations control station displaying the determined type of broadcast signal. The method for airing broadcast signals over the broadcast network preferably includes the steps of providing the broadcast signal to the transmission relay circuit, detecting the broadcast signal type with the broadcast signal sensing and discerning circuit; and reconfiguring the signal processing circuit when the configuration of the signal processing circuit does not support transmission of the determined broadcast signal type.

A system and method of enhancing the quality of the sound in a cellular smartphone used at a live event. A video signal is captured from a live event in a smartphone camera of a cellular smartphone to create a video clip. A plurality of audio signals are received from the live event and processed to provide a mixed stereo audio signal. The mixed stereo audio signal is converted to a digital stereo audio signal. The digital stereo audio signal is encoded to provide an encoded stereo audio signal. The encoded stereo audio signal is streamed as an encoded stereo audio stream. The encoded stereo audio stream is captured in the cellular smartphone. The captured encoded stereo audio stream is combined and synchronized with the video clip by utilizing timestamps. Thus, a completed movie clip with enhanced quality sound is provided.

A method for automatically starting an audio recording that includes receiving audio data and dividing the audio data into a first set of consecutive segments and a second set of consecutive segments that occur after the first set. The method further includes analyzing the first set of segments by measuring an average energy and peak value for each segment of the first set and determining a silence score therefrom, and analyzing the second set of segments by measuring an average energy and peak value for each segment of the second set and determining an music score therefrom. The method begins a recording of the audio data if the silence score is above a first predetermined value and the music score is above a second predetermined value.

A method for visually representing a recording session on a display, the method including displaying, by a processor on a display device, an icon having a shape, receiving audio data, and generating pulses that radiate outwardly, concentrically, and separately from the icon. A timing of the pulses may correspond to audio events within the audio data, a starting size of the pulses may correspond to an amplitude of the audio events within the audio data, and a spacing between consecutive pulses may correspond to a timing between the audio events within the audio data. The radiating pulses can be circular and may expand outwardly from the icon. The audio events may include audio transients. The icon can be circular, polygonal, three-dimensional (e.g., spherical), or the like.
