A video server includes a video encoder to encode video data representing panoramic video content in which the panoramic video content has a greater field of view than a displayable region at a client device, the video encoder being configured to encode spatial regions within the video content at different respective encoding qualities in dependence upon track data indicating, for temporal positions with respect to the panoramic video content, a preferred viewing region within the panoramic video content at those temporal positions, so that the preferred viewing region is encoded at a higher encoding quality than another region of the panoramic video content.

A light source identification system, the system comprising a light source imaging device and a processing device, the light source imaging device comprising a light sensor operable to image at least a portion of an environment in which the light source imaging device is present, wherein the environment comprises one or more light sources, and a transmitter operable to transmit image data, and the processing device comprising a processor that is operable, in a calibration mode, to identify light sources from received image data and locate them within the environment.

Light source identification apparatus and method

A data processing apparatus comprises a processor having an internal state dependent upon execution of application program code, the processor being configured to generate display data relating to images to be displayed and to buffer display data relating to a most recent period of execution of a currently executing application. The apparatus includes RAM for storing temporary data relating to a current operational state of program execution. The apparatus also includes a data transfer controller configured to transfer data from the RAM relating to the currently executing application, data relating to a current internal state of the processor and buffered display data to suspend data memory, and to transfer data from the suspend data memory to RAM and to the processor to recreate an execution state of an application at a time the suspend instruction was executed, and to retrieve display data relating to the resumed application.
