A sensor data processing apparatus can be coupled to multiple image sensors of different types. The apparatus adjusts frame transmission rates based on the number of sensors and type of image data sourced by the sensors to optimize utilization of bandwidth on a number of transport channels. The apparatus can be configured to transport selected frames in the image data that are identified as critical frames at a higher rate than non-selected frames in the image data.

The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus and a system of synchronizing audio with video. A receiving device receives a video signal embedded with a video sync signal and an audio signal embedded with an audio sync signal provided by a sending device; searches for the video sync signal in the video signal, searches for the audio sync signal in the audio signal; and processes the video signal and the audio signal according to a time when the video sync signal occurs in the video signal and a time when the audio sync signal occurs in the audio signal to make the processed audio signal synchronized with the processed video signal during playback.

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.

Embodiments of the present disclosures provide a method, system and apparatus for transmitting intelligent information. When one frame of video data x is to be transmitted, a SDI sending terminal determines whether there is intelligent information satisfying a transmission condition; the transmission condition comprising that intelligent information is not transmitted and transmission of a frame of video data corresponding to the intelligent information is finished. If there is the intelligent information satisfying the transmission condition, the SDI sending terminal adds intelligent information y being one item of the intelligent information satisfying the transmission condition into a preset position of the video data x; and transmits the video data x having the intelligent information y. By using the solutions of the present disclosures, implementation costs are reduced and security is improved.

Disclosed are a bitstream alignment and synchronous processing method, transmitting terminal, receiving terminal and communication system. The method includes: configuring, when multiple bitstreams are required to be aligned, by a transmitting terminal, alignment auxiliary information in the multiple bitstreams so as to store the same or transmit the same to a receiving terminal; and acquiring, by the receiving terminal, the multiple bitstreams, and synchronizing each of the bitstreams of a different standard according to the alignment auxiliary information carried in each of the bitstreams.

The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, a program, and a signal transmission system realizing an SDI (serial digital interface) capable of effectively transmitting an audio stream together with video data, for example, of which the frame rate is 100 Hz or 120 Hz. An audio multiplexing unit multiplexes an audio sample into a data area of horizontal lines of n2 (here, 2n2n1) rows after a first horizontal line in which the audio sample is generated, which is a predetermined data area arranged within a horizontal blanking area disposed for each horizontal line of video data in a data stream defined in a format of an SDI used for transmitting the video data, in a case where an audio is sampled at an interval of once or less for horizontal lines of n1 (here, n12) rows of the video data of a predetermined frame rate. For example, the present technology can be applied to a broadcast camera.

The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus and a system of synchronizing audio with video. A receiving device receives a video signal embedded with a video sync signal and an audio signal embedded with an audio sync signal provided by a sending device; searches for the video sync signal in the video signal, searches for the audio sync signal in the audio signal; and processes the video signal and the audio signal according to a time when the video sync signal occurs in the video signal and a time when the audio sync signal occurs in the audio signal to make the processed audio signal synchronized with the processed video signal during playback.

There is provided a device comprising a non-transitory memory storing an executable code, a hardware processor executing the executable code to receive Internet protocol (IP) packets encapsulating a video content, the IP packets including a frame having a header storing header information relating to the video content, retrieve at least one portion of the header information relating to the video content from the header, retrieve the video content from the IP packets, prepare the retrieved video content for transmission using serial digital interface (SDI) protocol, insert the at least one portion of the header information into at least one of a vertical ancillary (VANC) data space and a horizontal ancillary (HANC) data space of the prepared video content using the SDI protocol, and transmit the prepared video content using the SDI protocol, including the at least one portion of the header information in the VANC space.

A video surveillance system includes surveillance cameras; a video converting and combining unit; an encoder for encoding a combined video from the video converting and combining unit; a decoder for decoding the combined video transmitted from the encoder; a video converting and splitting unit for splitting the combined video decoded by the decoder into the videos captured by the surveillance cameras; and a display device for displaying the videos inputted from the video converting and splitting unit. When combining the videos into one combined video, the video converting and combining unit appends assignment information in which each of the surveillance cameras, rotation information indicating application of a rotation process, and division information indicating whether the corresponding video is a left half video or a right half video are associated with one another. The video converting and splitting unit splits an HD video into SD videos based on the assignment information.

A closed circuit video communication device includes an input/output configured to receive a streaming video signal on a first dedicated physical communication channel and to send upstream communication on the first dedicated physical communication channel; a video output configured to send the streaming video signal on a second dedicated physical communication channel; and a command input configured to receive commands on a third dedicated physical communication channel and to provide the commands to the input/output for sending as upstream communication on the first dedicated physical communication channel.
