Provided is a novel gel-like food composition. The gel-like food composition contains 0.1 to 10 wt % of a free branched-chain amino acid, 1 to 12 wt % of a protein, and 10/g to 10/g of a probiotic.

Gel-like food composition

In recording materials of a video program or the like, the video materials are efficiently and optimally acquired so that processing steps in and after an editing step subsequent to a recording step can be reduced. A recording support information (metadata) on a schedule of and a performer for an imaging operation, and the like, which are determined in advance is recorded in a first recording mediumby a program constitution input device. The first recording mediumis inserted in to an imaging device, materials to be recorded are classified and confirmed based on the metadata, and the materials which can constitute a desirable program as potentially as possible are acquired in the recording operation.

Imaging device and imaging system

An image pick-up apparatus includes an image pick-up device of recording a video to generate a video signal, a photographer indication device of indicating a start of a recording and/or a stop of the recording, an AutoREC signal generation device of generating an AutoREC signal in conjunction with the start of the recording and/or the stop of the recording based on the indication, and an AutoREC signal multiplex device of multiplexing a generated AutoREC signal to a generated video signal.

Autorec signal multiplex apparatus, autorec signal multiplex method, program, and recording medium

An object of the present invention is to reduce a possibility of existence of a plurality of identical file names in files which are created by a plurality of apparatuses. This is accomplished using a file name generation apparatus having an UMID generation unit () generating a globally unique identifier, and a file name generation unit () generating a file name including the globally unique identifier generated by the UMID generation unit ().

File name generating unit

A frame rate converting apparatus provided with: a frame rate converter performing conversion of frame rate information on a frame rate, on all, a single or a plurality of sections of a video signal having an input time code which video signal is externally inputted and generated by use of a frame rate that changes or does not change; a time code calculator performing calculation of an output time code to be replaced with the input time code, on all, single or plurality of sections where the conversion of the frame rate information is performed; and a time code generator assigning the calculated output time code to all, single or plurality of sections where the conversion of the frame rate information is performed.

Signal processing apparatus, signal processing method, program, and recording medium

A microphone apparatus for a video camera having a zoom lens, comprising: a superdirectional microphone fro generating a superdirectional microphone signal D; a stereo microphone for generating stereo microphone signals L and R; a zoom position sensor for generating a zoom position signal; first and second signal means for generating control signals Vc1 and Vc2 which can be changed according to the zoom position signal; a first amplifier for generating a first amplified signal K1.multidot.D (K1 is a value corresponding to Vc1); a second amplifier for generating a second amplified signal K2.multidot.L (K2 is a value corresponding to Vc2); a third amplifier for generating a third amplified signal K2.multidot.R; a first adder for generating a first sum signal (k1.multidot.D+K2.multidot.L); and a second adding means for generating a second sum signal (k1.multidot.D+K2.multidot.R). The directivity can be varied in accordance with the control of the zoom lens to suitably match images and sounds.
