A user interest analysis generator analyzes input data corresponding to a viewing of the video program via the A/V player by at least one viewer, to determine a period of interest corresponding to the at least one viewer and to generate viewer interest data that indicates the period of viewer interest. A social media generator processes the viewer interest data and time coded metadata corresponding to the video program to automatically generate a social media post, corresponding to content of the video program during the period of interest, for posting to a social media account associated with the at least one viewer.

Audio/video system with social media generation and methods for use therewith

A system for processing a video signal into a processed video signal includes a video codec configured to generate a processed video signal based on the image sequence. A photo generation module is configured to recognize an object of interest in the image sequence and generate photo data from a selected image in the image sequence that includes the object of interest.

Video processing system with photo generation and methods for use therewith

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a video camera system that includes a first subset of video cameras that are configured to generate at least one broadcast video signal of an event, and a second subset of video cameras that are each individually controllable in response to subscriber control data from a corresponding one of a plurality of video player systems to generate a plurality of processed video signals of the event. A video access server receives the subscriber control data from the video player systems corresponding to a plurality of subscribers for control of the second subset of video cameras, and for routing the processed video signals of the event such that each of the plurality of processed video signals of the event is routed to the corresponding one of the plurality of video player systems. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Video camera system with distributed control and methods for use therewith

A tile processor is configured to analyze sensor data to identify the at least one viewer and to generate tile configuration data in response to the identification of the at least one viewer that indicates a tiled partitioning of a screen display into a plurality of tiled regions. An A/V player generates tiled display data for display of the at least video program on a display device in accordance with the tile configuration data.

Video system with customized tiling and methods for use therewith

A video processing device includes a content analyzer that receives a video signal and generates content recognition data based on the video signal, wherein the content recognition data is associated with at least one timestamp included in the video signal. A metadata search device generates time-coded metadata in response to content recognition data and in accordance with the at least one time stamp. A metadata association device generates a processed video signal from the video signal, wherein the processed video signal includes the time-coded metadata.

Video processing device for generating time-coded metadata and methods for use therewith

A viewer fovea tracking generator is configured to analyze image data corresponding to a viewing of the video program via an A/V player by at least one viewer, and to generate fovea tracking data corresponding to the at least one viewer. A network interface configured to transmit the fovea tracking data to the video source via a network. The video program is fovea encoded by the video source in accordance with the fovea tracking data.

Video system with fovea tracking and methods for use therewith

A video processing device includes a metadata authoring device, that generates time-coded metadata in response to content recognition data and in accordance with at least one time stamp of a video signal. A metadata association device generates a processed video signal from the video signal, wherein the processed video signal includes the time-coded metadata.

Video processing device for embedding authored metadata and methods for use therewith

A device encodes a video signal having a sequence of images into an encoded video signal. The device includes a group of picture (GOP) adaption module that detects a high complexity scene in the sequence of images and that generates GOP adaption data indicating the high complexity scene when the high complexity scene is detected. An encoding module generates the encoded video signal with hierarchical B frames disabled when the GOP adaption data indicates the high complexity scene.

Video encoding system with adaptive hierarchical B-frames and method for use therewith

Video processing device for generating time-coded metadata based on a search and methods for use therewith

A video transcoder includes a deformatting module that generates a deformatted video signal based on a video signal in a source stereoscopic video format, and further based on device data that corresponds to a particular target device. A scaling module generates a scaled video signal, based on the deformatted video signal and further based on the device data. A formatting module generates a reformatted video signal in accordance with a target video format, based on the scaled video signal and further based on the device data.
