A technique for presenting text information to service users with enhanced visual effects so that the text information makes a strong impression on the users. A video creation server includes an acquisition section configured to acquire material data including one or both of text data and a still image, and a control section configured to acquire a script code editable by a user and to create moving-image data having the material data embedded into each frame of previously defined moving-image data such that the material data moves within the previously defined moving-image data in accordance with the script code.

The present invention proposes a method for transmitting a broadcast signal. The method for transmitting a broadcast signal according to the present invention proposes a system which can support a next generation broadcast service in an environment supporting a next generation hybrid broadcast which uses a terrestrial broadcast network and an internet network. Furthermore, the present invention proposes an efficient signaling method which can cover both the terrestrial broadcast network and the internet network in the environment supporting the next generation hybrid broadcast.

Simplifying subtitle display processing in a variable speed reproduction mode on the receiving side is intended.

A video stream formed with a video packet having coded image data in a payload is generated. A subtitle stream formed with a subtitle packet having subtitle information in a payload is generated. A multiplexed stream including the video stream and the subtitle stream is generated and transmitted. In generating the multiplexed stream, the subtitle packet is arranged at a random access position.

A method for receiving a real-time video feed of a region of interest includes generating, at a processor of a first device, a request for a real-time video stream of the region of interest. The request indicates a location of the region of interest. The method also includes transmitting the request to one or more other devices via a network to query whether another device is situated to capture a portion of the region of interest. The method also includes receiving the real-time video stream of the region of interest from a second device of the one or more other devices. The second device includes a camera having a field of view that includes at least a portion of the region of interest.

Various embodiments for creating media clips are disclosed. In one example, a method is performed by a server for managing the creation and distribution of media clips, where the server associates a content capture device with an event, the content capture device for recording at least a portion of the event, receives a tag notification from a content tagging device via a network interface, generates a media clip creation command to the content capture device via the network interface, sends the media clip creation command to the content capture device, and receives a media clip created by the content capture device in response to receiving the media clip creation command.

Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of this invention provide for encoding and playing back video at different frame rates using enhancement layers. In a number of embodiments, video is encoded using temporal scalability involving the creation of a base layer at a first frame rate and an enhancement layer including additional frames enabling playback at a second higher frame rate. The second higher frame rate can also be referred to as an enhanced frame rate. In a number of embodiments, the base and enhancement layers are stored in one or more container files that contain metadata describing the enhancement layer. Based on the capabilities of a playback device, it can select the particular frame rate at which to playback encoded video.

An apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor operably coupled to the communication interface. The communication interface receives a plurality of tracks in a compressed bitstream. The processor identifies an atlas track corresponding to a point cloud compression (PCC) component and identifies a set of first component tracks that is referenced by the atlas track and at least one second component track, each of the at least one second component track is an alternative version of a first component track of the set of first component tracks. The processor also determines which of the set of first component tracks and the at least one second component track are appropriate versions of the PCC component. The processor further decodes the appropriate version of the PCC component from among the set of first component tracks and the at least one second component track.
