Systems and methods are provided encoding a video. Video data is captured. The video data is stored in a group of pictures format, where the group of pictures format comprises a plurality of GOP files, each GOP file including exactly one group of pictures unit. The video data is encoded into a prespecified format. Encoding includes accessing the GOP files containing the video data in the group of pictures format, and encoding the video data into the prespecified format using the GOP files to generate an encoded video.

Systems and methods for group of pictures encoding

Systems and methods for generating a composite video based on a plurality of input streams are provided. A first video stream is received from a first device. A second video stream and coordination information are received from a second device. The coordination information includes instructions for combining the first video stream and the second video stream in a composite video. The first video stream and the second video stream are time aligned, and the instructions of the coordination information and the time-aligned first video stream and second video stream are used to generate the composite video.

Systems and methods are provided for providing streaming video to a client computer. A system includes a broadcast sender configured to provide a plurality of video segments at each of a plurality of quality levels as segment-quality units. A load balancer is configured to transmit the segment-quality units to one of a plurality of upload servers. The upload servers are configured to update a record of received segment-quality units, and to generate updates for a streaming video manifest corresponding to the streaming video.

Various acquisition streams are delivered, synchronously or asynchronously, to a server. Those streams having local time indicia are synchronized with the global timeline and the various acquisition streams are then stored. Low bit rate streams corresponding to the stored acquisition streams are generated for use in subsequent editing of the acquisition streams. The editing of the acquisition streams entails reviewing the various acquisition streams and selecting portions for replay. The portions selected for replay are identified through metadata which is then stored. The replay or distribution mode begins by editing the global timeline using the metadata generated in the editing mode so as to produce an edited timeline. The various acquisition streams are then rendered or played back according to the edited timeline to produce a distribution stream.

System and method for capturing, editing, searching, and delivering multi-media content with local and global time

Systems and methods are provided for generating a composite video based on a plurality of asynchronously recorded input video streams. A plurality of segments of the input video streams are identified. A number of the input video streams that were recording during the particular segment are determined. A video display configuration for the particular segment is determined based on the number of video streams that were recording, where the video display configuration includes a display sub-region for each of the number of video streams that was recording. A composite video is generated, where the composite video includes a portion of video associated with each of the segments, where the composite video portion associated with the particular segment is formatted according to the video display configuration and displays the video streams that were recording during the particular segment in the display sub-regions of the video display configuration.

Systems and methods are provided for generating a multi-stream composite video. A first mobile device is linked with a second mobile device so that the first mobile device and the second mobile device are time synchronized. A video stream is captured using the first mobile device. Interactions with a user interface are captured using the second mobile device. A composite video is generated based on the captured video stream and the captured interactions based on the time synchronization of the first mobile device and the second mobile device.

Systems and methods for linked mobile device content generation

A system for video compositing is comprised of a storage device for storing a composite timeline file. A timeline manager reads rendering instructions and compositing instructions from the stored file. A plurality of filter graphs, each receiving one of a plurality of video streams, renders frames therefrom in response to the rendering instructions. 3D hardware is responsive to the rendered frames and the compositing instructions for creating a composite image. A frame scheduler is responsive to the plurality of filter graphs for controlling the frequency at which the 3D hardware creates a new composite image. An output is provided for displaying the composite image. Methods of generating a composite work and methods of generating the timeline file are also disclosed. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this Abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates conveying enhanced query results. An interface component can receive a query corresponding to data. A visual component can employ a search result based at least in part upon the query, wherein the search result includes a graphic identifying a location of at least one term of the query within the queried data.

A computer system and media for generating previews for protected electronic documents are provided. The computer system provides servers that receive rules corresponding to the protected electronic documents from owners of the protected electronic documents. The rules specify quantity and quality of each interaction, by client devices, with each protected electronic document. Additionally, the servers receive queries having query terms from the client devices. In response, the servers generate previews for the protected electronic documents that match the query. The previews are generated and transmitted to the client devices based on the rules stored by the servers.
