The present disclosure relates to a system and method for synchronous video display on at least one display. The method may comprises receiving a channel of video signal from each data acquisition port of a plurality of data acquisition ports during a time interval, each channel of video signal comprising a plurality of video frames captured during the time interval. The method may also comprises assigning a count value for each video frame of the channel of video signal as synchronization information for each video frame of the channel of video signal to form a pool of video frames each corresponding to a count value. The method may further comprises selecting video frames with the same count value from the pool of video frames as synchronized video frames, and transmitting, through the plurality of output ports, the synchronized video frames for synchronous display on the at least one display.

Managing Internet Protocol (IP) flows to produce multi-connection communication is contemplated, such as but not necessarily limited to managing a single IP flow simultaneously through disparate physical layers (PHYs). A unification sublayer may be configured as a logical interface between a network layer and a data link layer and/or the disparate PHYs to facilitating partitioning of IP packets included in the IP flow.

Connection with an apparatus with a lower standard is easily performed. A digital signal to which coding has been performed is transmitted to an external device by a differential signal through a plurality of channels via a transmission path. In this case, a digital signal to which first coding has been performed and from which clock extraction is not available is transmitted through a part of the plurality of channels, and a digital signal to which second coding has been performed and from which clock extraction is available is transmitted through the other channels of the plurality of channels. A reception side processes the digital signal received through the plurality of channels on the basis of the clock extracted from the digital signal received through any one of other channels.

Multi-link transportation of media, video and other data of the type having multiple layers, streams and/or encodings is contemplated. The multi-link transportation may be facilitated with a scheduler configured to schedule the various layers, streams, encodings, etc. for transportation over selectable communication links, such as based on reliability, capacity and/or other operating characteristics.

A method for power consumption optimization in a wearable camera comprises: monitoring a bitrate of a video stream captured by the wearable camera. Upon the bitrate being above a first bitrate threshold, activating a movement sensor of the wearable camera. Upon activation of the movement sensor, analyzing whether activation of the movement sensor is beneficial for reducing the bitrate. In case activation of the movement sensor is beneficial for reducing the bitrate, keeping the movement sensor active and performing image stabilization based on movement data from the movement sensor, otherwise, deactivating the movement sensor. Also, a wearable camera is presented.

A surveillance system for mobile surveillance access to remote areas comprising a housing sized to be manually portable, and a power supply, an input port, a video converter, an encoder, and a router all within the housing. The power supply is configured to provide power to the system. The input port is configured to receive a video stream from a camera. The video converter is configured to convert the video stream from a digital signal to an analog signal. The encoder is configured to convert the video stream into a reduced bitrate digital stream having a bitrate less than or equal to 3 megabits per second. The router is configured to transmit the reduced bitrate digital stream over at least two of a plurality of communication paths simultaneously. The system is manually portable and configured to livestream the video stream to the internet in real time.
