A system includes a computer that is programmed to receive one or more media streams, each from a respective one of a one or more media capture devices, and to receive, from a client device, for each of the one or more media streams, state data including at least one of an active and a potential state of the media stream. The computer is further programmed to disconnect from the client device, and then, upon reconnecting to the client device, to provide at least one of the media streams and the state data to the client device.

Media content presentation systems and methods are operable to present media content received by a media device, wherein the media device comprises a plurality of tuner systems. An exemplary embodiment tunes the plurality of tuners to receive different broadcasting media content streams each comprising a streaming media content event; communicates the streaming media content events from the receiving tuner to a corresponding tuner buffer of the tuner system; and stores a portion of the streaming media content events into the corresponding tuner buffers. When a user selection is received for presentation of one of the streaming media content events, the selected one of the streaming media content events are presented to a user of the media device.

A temporal sequence of pictures is generated in a method for encoding of a first video stream. To do so, a synchronization signal can be used, which can be derived from a second video stream independently of the first video stream. Alternatively, the encoding of a second video stream independent of the first video stream can be based on the same principle as for the encoding of the first video stream.

A system for transcoding a digital video stream using a transcoder includes receiving a digital video stream that includes an input video stream and extracting a first set of presentation time stamps from the input video stream which are stored in a table. The system transcodes the input video stream including the first set of presentation time stamps from an initial set of characteristics to a modified set of characteristics including a second set of presentation time stamps that are different from the first set of presentation time stamps. The system processes the second set of presentation time stamps of the transcoded video stream to determine if the second presentation time stamps include jitter, and based upon determining the second set of presentation time stamps include jitter modifying the second set of presentation time stamps based upon the first set of presentation time stamps in the table.

A video signal processing device includes an SoC that receives input of a plurality of video signals, each including a plurality of packets, and multiplexing the video signals to output a multiplexed video signal, and an FPGA that receives input of a multiplexed video signal and demultiplexes the multiplexed video signal to output the plurality of video signals. When deficient data whose size is less than the size of one packet is detected in any of a plurality of video signals, the FPGA performs one of (i) processing for discarding the detected deficient data and (ii) processing for adding dummy data to the detected deficient data to make the size of the deficient data equal to the size of an integral multiple of one packet.

The present disclosure provides a data transmission method of a system in an IP based broadcasting network, the data transmission method comprising the steps of: generating an MPEG media transport protocol (MMTP) packet using a media processing unit (MPU) for a service; generating an IP packet using the MMTP packet; generating a layer 2 (L2) packet using the IP packet and generating a layer 1 (L1) packet stream using the L2 packet; and transmitting the L1 packet stream, wherein absolute time information of the system is included in one of a transmission frame of the L1 packet stream and the L2 packet.

Examples of video encoding methods and apparatus and video decoding methods and apparatus are described. An example method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a video including one or more layers and a bitstream of the video according to a rule, wherein the rule specifies, in a process of sub-bitstream extraction to output an output sub-bitstream, whether to generate non-scalable nested supplementary enhancement information (SEI) messages by extracting scalable-nested SEI messages from a scalable nesting SEI message based on a first flag indicating whether the SEI message applies to specific output layer sets (OLSs) and a second flag indicating whether the SEI message applies to all subpictures or only to specific subpictures.

An encoding device evaluates a plurality of processing and/or post-processing algorithms and/or methods to be applied to a video stream, and signals a selected method, algorithm, class or category of methods/algorithms either in an encoded bitstream or as side information related to the encoded bitstream. A decoding device or post-processor utilizes the signaled algorithm or selects an algorithm/method based on the signaled method or algorithm. The selection is based, for example, on availability of the algorithm/method at the decoder/post-processor and/or cost of implementation. The video stream may comprise, for example, downsampled multiplexed stereoscopic images and the selected algorithm may include any of upconversion and/or error correction techniques that contribute to a restoration of the downsampled images.

A UHD display presents HD video in the native resolution of HD, leaving some portions of the UHD display unused for presenting the HD video. Ancillary information received, for example, in real time with the HD video or in parallel with the HD video over the Internet is presented in the unused portions of the UHD display along with the HD video.
