Implementations disclose filtering wind noises in video content. A method includes receiving video content comprising an audio component and a video component, detecting, by a processing device, occurrence of a wind noise artifact in a segment of the audio component, identifying duration of the wind noise artifact and intensity of the wind noise artifact, selecting, by the processing device, a wind noise replacement operation based on the identified duration and intensity of the wind noise artifact, and applying, by the processing device, the selected wind noise replacement operation to the segment of the audio component to remove the wind noise artifact from the segment.

A method and an apparatus are used to target interactive virtual objects to subscribers in a television delivery system. Programs are selected and virtual object locations are defined in the selected programs. The virtual objects available for targeting are categorized and the categories are correlated to subscriber information to determine the optimum targeting of the virtual objects. The virtual objects may be targeted based on individual subscriber information or on information related to groups of subscribers. When a frame of a program includes a virtual object location, a default or an alternate virtual object is displayed. The virtual object location may change over space or time. The virtual object may be interactive, and may be used to link a subscriber to a remote location, such as an Internet web site. An operations center or a cable headend may generate a group assignment plan that assigns the subscribers' television terminals to groups, based on factors such as area of dominant influence and household income. A retrieval plan is then generated that instructs the television terminals to select the desired virtual object for display. The television terminals record which virtual objects were displayed, and report this information to the cable headends and the operations center. The reported information is used to generate billing for commercial advertisers, and to analyze viewer watching habits. Interactive virtual objects are received by the television terminal with directions on actions to be taken upon selection of the interactive virtual object. Actions may result in the initiation of processes locally at the television terminal, or communication with a remote site for the initiation of processes to be performed remotely. The invention uses upstream data reception hardware, databases and processing hardware and software, and corresponding features in the televisions to accomplish these functions.

Electronic equipment and methods for permitting quick control of the operating state of a source equipment side from sink equipment. A television receiver (sink equipment) 100 and an amplifier (repeater equipment) 200 are interconnected over an HDMI cable 610, and the amplifier 200 and a DVD recorder (source equipment) 300 are interconnected over an HDMI cable 620. Each of the pieces of equipment includes, in addition to an HDMI receiving unit and an HDMI transmitting unit, a high-speed data line I/F included in a bidirectional communication unit that uses predetermined lines of the HDMI cable. The bidirectional communication unit is used to transmit channel selection information, a remote control code instructing recording, “theater mode” designating information, a remote control code, or the like from the television receiver 100 to the audio amplifier 200 or DVD recorder 300.

An example device includes a memory device, and a processor coupled to the memory device. The memory is configured to store audio spatial metadata associated with a soundfield and video data. The processor is configured to identify one or more foreground audio objects of the soundfield using the audio spatial metadata stored to the memory device, and to select, based on the identified one or more foreground audio objects, one or more viewports associated with the video data. Display hardware coupled to the processor and the memory device is configured to output a portion of the video data being associated with the one or more viewports selected by the processor.

Disclosed are a method, and a display apparatus. The method includes: in response to a switching operation for an audio output channel of an external power amplifier, acquiring a first state corresponding to the switching operation; the audio output channel of the external power amplifier includes an ARC and/or an eARC, and the first state is configured to indicate on-off state of the eARC that is designated by the switching operation; and adjusting a connection state of the ARC and the eARC according to the first state, determining a target channel for outputting audio according to an adjustment of the connection state of the ARC and the eARC, and displaying the on-off state of the eARC that matches the target channel.

An amplification system which includes a source of electrical audio signals, a first amplifier, a second amplifier, a plurality of loudspeakers, and a first phase of the first amplifier and a second phase of the second amplifier reproduced in parallel having a time delay between first and second phase amplification for out of phase correction. The time delay is configured to correct poor sound signals while amplifying weaker harmonics and sound signals of different frequencies, thereby adjusting sound output of the amplification system and acoustical characteristics of a room. The amplification system is useful for providing improved sound quality and increased audio efficiencies.

A display device includes a receiver that receives at least video data and genre information, an acquirer that acquires image quality information corresponding to the genre information, a genre detector that detects a change in the genre information, a scene detector that detects a scene change of the video data, and a controller that performs, when a change in the genre information is detected, control such that image quality of the video data is set based on image quality information corresponding to the changed genre information after the change is detected and after the scene change is detected.

A method including while receiving a live digital audio stream from one or more remote servers and outputting the live digital audio stream via a speaker of a client device, receiving the updated content schedule from the one or more remote servers, generating and displaying a real-time programming guide user-interface including the updated content schedule, the real-time programming guide user-interface including at least one content segment component corresponding to at least one of the content segment data in the updated content schedule, and, in response to a content selection command at the at least one content segment component, transmitting a content segment digital audio signal request to the one or more remote servers for a prior portion of the live digital audio stream corresponding to the content segment data; and, in response to receiving the prior portion of the live digital audio stream, ceasing outputting the live digital audio stream and outputting the prior portion of the live digital audio stream corresponding to the content segment data.
