A playback method of reading out and playing streams from a recording medium is provided in which are recorded a stream file, a playlist file, first and second combination information, elementary streams that can be played at the same time with the first luminance video, and elementary streams that can be played at the same time with the second luminance video. The playback method includes in a case of playing the first luminance video, reading out any one of the elementary streams listed in the first combination information of the playlist file, and playing at the same time with the first luminance video, and in a case of playing the second luminance video, reading out any one of the elementary streams listed in the second combination information of the playlist file, and playing at the same time with the second luminance video.

Computer implemented techniques that involve captured, e.g., self-captured video for educational and other uses such as improving job performance of geographically distributed employees and incremental video optimizations and compressions are described.

A system and method for associating audio feeds to corresponding video feeds, including determining a subject of interest within a video feed based on the video feed and metadata associated with the video feed; analyzing the metadata to determine an optimal audio source for the subject of interest; configuring the optimal audio source to capture an audio feed; and associating the captured audio feed with the video feed.

The present technology relates to an information processing device and method, and a program that enable extraction of a desired object from a moving image with sound. An information processing device includes an image object detection unit that detects an image object on the basis of a moving image with sound, a sound object detection unit that detects a sound object on the basis of the moving image with sound, and a sound image object detection unit that detects a sound image object on the basis of a detection result of the image object and a detection result of the sound object. The present technology can be applied to an information processing device.

A video generation device receives sound information from a distribution apparatus. The video generation device receives first timing information from the distribution apparatus. The video generation device causes a video-taking device to take a video. The video generation device reproduces one or more sounds indicated by the received sound information when the video being taken by the video-taking device. The video generation device identifies one or more timings of reproducing the one or more sounds indicated by the received sound information based on the received first timing information when the one or more sounds indicated by the received sound information being reproduced. The video generation device causes video information indicating the taken video and including second timing information indicating the one or more identified timings to be generated.

Real-time metadata tracks recorded to media streams allow search and analysis operations in a variety of contexts. Search queries can be performed using information in real-time metadata tracks such as closed captioning, sub-title, statistical tracks, miscellaneous data tracks. Media streams can also be augmented with additional tracks. The metadata tracks not only allow efficient searching and indexing, but also allow insertion of content specific advertising during appropriate portions of a media stream based on the content of the metadata tracks.

A billiard table top lighting apparatus provides substantially uniform lighting across the surface of a billiard table surface. In one form, the lighting apparatus includes a frame supporting lights that are non-centrally placed such that no lights are supported above a middle portion of the billiard table surface. So configured, the frame can have an attractive profile and further mount additional items above the billiard table surface to enable a variety of other features. For example, the frame may support one or more cameras, one or more motion sensors, one or more microphones, and/or one or more computing devices to enable any of a variety of innovative features. Such features could include automatic game play recording from one or more perspectives, merged video track storage for replay, review, and analysis, automatic lighting and dimming control, control of the apparatus from any mobile device, and the like.

Novel tools and techniques are described for auto-summarizing video and/or audio content. In some embodiments, a summary server might retrieve one or more time codes from a time code database, and might analyze the one or more time codes to determine at least one selected time code among the one or more time codes that exceeds a predetermined number of selections. The one or more time codes might correspond to one or more triggers, which might include user-inputted triggers, triggers associated with actions by a live audience, or broadcaster/distributor/producer-provided triggers (i.e., cue tones). The summary server might determine one or more selected segments of video or audio content corresponding to the at least one selected time code, and might create one or more summary tracks, where each of the one or more summary tracks might comprise each of the one or more selected segments of the video or audio content.

A control method of a camera device includes receiving audio data transmitted by an acoustic-electric device via Bluetooth communication and mixing the audio data with the video data to produce a video with audio. The audio data is recorded by the acoustic-electric device during a process of capturing video data by the camera device.
