A processing device and method are disclosed to generate automatic content recognition (ACR) fingerprints. A device can include a processing device to execute a capture daemon. The capture daemon may include a capturer to receive media content from a content feed and to generate content frames of the media content. The capture daemon can also include ACR fingerprinter to generate ACR fingerprint information for the content frames. The ACR fingerprinter may communicate the ACR fingerprint information to an ACR server via a first communication channel. The processing device may determine when the ACR fingerprinter fails; cease communicating the ACR fingerprint information to the ACR server; and restart the ACR fingerprinter.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a video stream switching method. The method includes: A transmission device receives a plurality of video streams of a first video and a plurality of video streams of a second video; sends the plurality of video streams of the first video through target output ports respectively corresponding to the plurality of video streams of the first video; after receiving a switching instruction, determines switching reference information of a reference end-of-frame packet of each video stream of the first video and the second video, and then determines switching reference information of a switching packet of the video stream; and switches from the plurality of video streams of the first video to the plurality of video streams of the second video based on the switching reference information of the switching packet of each video stream.

An interconnect apparatus performs real time scoring and data throughput measurement of parallel data channels. The scoring and measurement information is communicated as feedback across the interconnect. Processing circuitry in the interconnect apparatus routes data to channels that have the best performance and reduces the data rate on channels that have lower performance based on the feedback information. This provides a method of dynamic load balancing to achieve optimal video data rates in a dynamic impedance environment. The interconnect apparatus also adjusts phase and data sampling times for improved fidelity of data transported across the interface.

An asynchronous switching system and method for processing SDI data streams, the system and method utilizing one or more buffers for cleaning up an output of a dirty IP switch.

According to the present disclosure, provided is a network system including a plurality of devices and a network management apparatus connected to the plurality of devices by an IP transmission line, and the network management apparatus (100) includes a setting execution unit (116) configured to execute setting of a path to which the plurality of devices are connected, and setting of parameters for controlling the plurality of devices. With this configuration, it is possible to freely set a connection path and devices in a system in which a plurality of devices are connected.

Various embodiments herein provide techniques for Session Description Protocol (SDP)-based signaling of camera calibration parameters for multiple video streams. The camera calibration parameters may be used to stitch together (e.g., align and/or synchronize) the multiple video streams. In embodiments, the stitched video streams may form an immersive video content (e.g., 360-degree video content). Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

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.
