A sending-side image converting apparatus sends a transmission image to a network. An image processing server performs image processing on the transmission image and sends the image generated by the image processing to the network. A receiving-side image converting apparatus outputs display images converted from the transmission image and the image generated by the image processing, to a display apparatus. Further, a controlled delay time based on a difference between a delay time in a first transmission path without via the image processing server and a delay time in a second transmission path via the image processing server is obtained on the basis of a characteristic of the display apparatus, and a timing at which the images are output to the display apparatus is controlled. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a medical-use image transmission system.

A video monitoring system can include multiple collectors to receive video beacon data from multiple video monitoring interface modules. At least one beacon stream is connected to receive data from multiple collectors. A processing module receives the beacon stream and provides a real-time event stream used for real-time data analysis and a video view stream used for long-term data analysis.

A method of providing an offloading service according to an example embodiment includes streaming, to a user terminal including a cellular network receiver and a broadcast network receiver, media content data through a cellular network, transmitting, to the user terminal, an offloading service providing signal for activating the broadcast network receiver of the user terminal through the cellular network, transmitting, to the user terminal, a broadcast signal including connection information of a broadcast network to which the user terminal is to be connected so as to receive the media content data, through the cellular network, and broadcasting the media content data through the broadcast network.

A cable distribution system includes a head end connected to a plurality of customer devices through a transmission network that provides data suitable for the plurality of customer devices. A traffic monitoring system receives from a customer support device a first data request for a parameter of one of the plurality of customer devices. The traffic monitoring system provides a second data request for the parameter of the one of said plurality of customer devices to a customer premise equipment management system in response to receiving the first data request. The traffic monitoring system receiving a first data response including the parameter from the customer premise equipment management system in response to providing the second data request to the customer premise equipment management system. The traffic monitoring system providing a second data response including the parameter from the traffic management system to the customer support device in response to receiving the first data response.

Systems and methods for providing timing information from a R-MACHPHY device to a video core while the R-MACPHY device receives video data from the video core while operating in asynchronous mode. In some embodiments, the R-MACPHY device may alternately and selectively configure its mode of operation to alternate between synchronous mode and asynchronous mode, and provide the timing information to the video core when it switches to asynchronous mode.

The disclosed computer-implemented method includes accessing information related to a playback session in which at least a portion of requested multimedia content is streamed over a network to a client electronic device. The method further includes accessing network topology information for the network to identify which route through the network was used to provide the requested multimedia content during the playback session, including indicating which end node was used to provide the multimedia content. Still further, the method includes accessing network steering factors that indicate why the requested multimedia content was steered through the identified network route, determining, based on the network steering factors, which end node would have been more suited to providing the requested multimedia content for the playback session, and then transferring the requested multimedia content to the determined end node for provisioning during subsequent playback sessions. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Embodiments are generally directed to transport controlled video coding. An embodiment of an apparatus includes one or more processors to process data; a memory to store data, including data for video streaming; and a video processing mechanism including an encoder and a transport mechanism, wherein the video processing mechanism is to generate a prediction of channel throughput for a network channel, encode one or more bitstreams based on the prediction, including encoding a plurality of bitstreams including a first bitstream and a second bitstream if the prediction indicates an increase or decrease in channel throughput and encoding a single bitstream if the prediction indicates a stable channel throughput; and select a bitstream of the one or more bitstreams for a current frame.

A device and a method for authorizing access to a service on a first device upon detection of a second device located in near proximity, while preferably using broadcast transmission, is disclosed. The second device broadcasts on a second broadcast network a message comprising at least a group identifier common to the set of devices that can access the service and a time reference value corresponding to the emission time of the message, according to a common time reference received by all devices from a first broadcast network. The first device authorizes access to the service only if the group identifier received from the message is the same as the group identifier of the device and if the delay between the measured arrival of the message and its emission time is lower than a threshold.
