Image data having ultra-high definition at a high frame rate is processed to obtain image data, having a basic format, from which an image having high definition at a basic frame rate is to be obtained, image rate, having a first enhancement format, from which an image having high definition at a high frame rate is to be obtained, image data, having a second enhancement format, from which an image having ultra-high definition at a basic frame rate is to be obtained, and image data, having a third enhancement format, from which an image having ultra-high definition at a high frame rate is to be obtained. A basic video stream containing an encoded image data of the image data having the basic format, and a predetermined number of enhancement video streams containing the encoded image data of the image data having the first, second, and third enhancement formats are produced.

A video processing device includes an acquirer that acquires video data via a predetermined transmission line, the video data including video and metadata that indicates a first frequency band that is a spatial frequency range in which the video is present; an adjuster that makes sharpness gain adjustment to video such that, among a plurality of regions of the video included in the video data acquired by the acquirer, a sharpness gain for a first region that belongs to the first frequency band indicated by the metadata exceeds a sharpness gain for a second region that belongs to a second frequency band that is a range outside the first frequency band; and an output device that outputs video adjusted by the adjuster.

The embodiments relate to a method comprising receiving as an input a volumetric video frame comprising volumetric video data (910); decomposing the volumetric video frame into one or more patches, wherein a patch comprises a volumetric video data component (920); packing several patches, where at least two patches of the several patches comprise a different volumetric video data component with respect to each other, into one video frame (930); generating a bitstream comprising an encoded video frame (940); signaling, in or along the bitstream, existence of encoded video frame containing patches of more than one different volumetric video data component (950); and transmitting the encoded bitstream to a storage for rendering (960). The embodiments also relate to a technical equipment for implementing the method.

A system for presenting live video content to a plurality of participant client devices is disclosed. An interactive program, including the live video content and an interactive component, is generated and a moderator interface is provided to enable a user of a moderator client device to create a look for the interactive program. The live video content and the interactive component are simultaneously displayed on a display of each of a plurality of participant client devices with the look created by the user of the moderator client device. The live video content and a response to the live video content are simultaneously displayed at each of the participant client devices with the look created by the user of the moderator client. The interactive program and the response are archived so that users of the plurality of participant devices may continue to interact with the interactive program after termination of the interactive program.

Creative intent input describing emotion expectations and narrative information relating to media content is received. Expected physiologically observable states relating to the media content are generated based on the creative intent input. An audiovisual content signal with the media content and media metadata comprising the physiologically observable states is provided to a playback apparatus. The audiovisual content signal causes the playback device to use physiological monitoring signals to determine, with respect to a viewer, assessed physiologically observable states relating to the media content and generate, based on the expected physiologically observable states and the assessed physiologically observable states, modified media content to be rendered to the viewer.

The present invention provides an apparatus of transmitting broadcast signals, the apparatus including, an encoder for encoding service data, a frame builder for building at least one signal frame by mapping the encoded service data, a modulator for modulating data in the built at least one signal frame by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM, scheme and a transmitter for transmitting the broadcast signals having the modulated data.

As a bit stream generation method for generating a bit stream of transmission data in which a plurality of signals including at least a tactile signal is multiplexed, a signal transmission unrequired section of the tactile signal is determined and, in a case where the signal transmission unrequired section exists, the bit stream in which additional information other than the tactile signal is inserted into the signal transmission unrequired section is generated.

Virtual site inspections to support clinical trials is disclosed. A frame and glasses subsystem has at least a global positioning system (GPS) and is associated with a first computing device at a physical site where an inspection is conducted. A session is opened in a web-based application on a second communication device that is in communication with, but that is physically remote from, the first computing device. Location tracking using GPS allows for a location of the frame and glasses subsystem to be continuously tracked. A script from the web-based application to the first computing device enables association with a video stream and locations within the physical site. The script enables responses to be provided from the first computing device at the locations. The locations, time stamps, video stream, the responses from the script, and a device identifier is provided immutably to the web-based application.

A display apparatus (10) that is an example of an image processing apparatus includes: an output unit that outputs part of an image including recommended viewpoint information as a display image to a display unit; and a transition control unit that causes the display range of the image to shift, on the basis of the positional relationship between the viewpoint position corresponding to the display image output to the display unit and the viewpoint position corresponding to the recommended viewpoint information. The output unit outputs part of the image to the display unit, on the basis of the display range that has been made to shift.

A method for transmitting media data in a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Media Transport (MMT) system is provided. The method includes receiving a Media Processing Unit (MPU) fragmented into one or more Media Fragment Units (MFUs), generating one or more multimedia data packets each including a packet header and a payload, based on the MPU, and transmitting the one or more multimedia data packets to a terminal. A payload header included in the payload includes identification information indicating an MPU to which at least one MPU included in the payload belongs, and a counter indicating the number of the at least one MPU.
