A video delivery system according to the present disclosure includes: a video streaming apparatus which records and transmits a video data; and a video editing apparatus which receives video data and edits a video based on the video data. The video streaming apparatus includes a streaming processing unit which transmits information which indicates whether a record processing unit has recorded a video file. The video editing apparatus includes range designation means which indicates, to a user, a time range for which the video streaming apparatus has recorded a video file, based on determination by the additional information interpretation means.

A three-dimensional data distribution device includes: a communication unit that receives a transmission request, the transmission request being transmitted in accordance with a predetermined application and requesting transmission of three-dimensional model data, the three-dimensional model data indicating a three-dimensional shape of an object; and a controller that controls the transmission of the three-dimensional model data. The controller makes, based on the transmission request, at least one of a determination as to whether a first company is identical to a second company and a determination as to whether the first company has a partnership with the second company, the first company providing the predetermined application, the second company providing an equipment that has been used to generate the three-dimensional model data, and the controller controls the transmission of the three-dimensional model data in accordance with a result of the at least one of the determinations.

Three-dimensional data distribution device and three-dimensional data distribution method

A system is provided for transmitting a video played back from a video recording medium which stores the video and additional information without loss of an association between the video and the additional information even when a remote pickup unit (RPU) is employed for the transmission A video playback device plays back videos while repeatedly converting the content of an additional information file associated with a video file to be played back or ID information of the video file into a two-dimensional code, and inserting the two-dimensional code over a predetermined length before the video. A video recording device which receives a video from the video playback device detects a two-dimensional code inserted in the video, and stores the content of the two-dimensional code as an additional information file into its own recording medium in association with the video.

Video playback device and video recording device

An external terminal having a communication unit capable of communicating with a video recording apparatus, the external terminal includes an input unit operable to input additional information from a user, an input start detecting unit operable to detect start of the input of the additional information to the input unit, and a recording state inquiring unit operable to inquire of the video recording apparatus and acquire information representing a recording position in video data currently being recorded by the video recording apparatus via the communication unit, when the input start detecting unit detects the start of the input of the additional information.

A video editing device, when having failed to obtain a portion of high-resolution video data from a video camera through a network, provides, to the user, low-resolution video data which has been previously transferred from the video camera, instead of the portion of the high-resolution video data. In parallel with this, the video editing device automatically searches for the missing high-resolution video data, on a network, using the ID of a video file or the ID of a recording medium, and if it is found, supplements a video which is to be provided to the user, with the found high-resolution video data.

Video editing device

A wireless communication system performs high-quality communication using Multicast communication where re-transmission processing is performed. The wireless communication system includes a program distribution unit for distributing a program using the Multicast communication; a first communication path for transmitting the program distributed from the program distribution unit; first communication units; user terminals; and a second and the user terminal and is also a wireless communication path where the re-transmission of a frame is performed, wherein the first communication unit selects a Multicast frame of a program requested by the user terminal from the first communication path, converts the selected Multicast frame into a Unicast frame, and transmits the converted Unicast frame to the user terminal.

Communication system and method for distributing content

An exemplary recording apparatus records video data and audio data in a recording medium in an MPEG4 file format. A first MPEG4 file format generating circuit generates MPEG4 data including multiplexing information on a multiplexing of the video data and the audio data stored in a MOOV BOX of the MPEG4 file format. A second MPEG4 file format generating circuit configured to: generate MPEG4 data including the multiplexing information stored in a MOOF BOX of the MPEG4 file format; store reproduction information required for reproducing the MPEG4 data generated by the first MPEG4 file format generating circuit from the generated MPEG4 data in a BOX of the MPEG4 file format for storing types of data that are ignored at a time of playing MPEG4 data; and to output the MPEG4 data to an external apparatus via the transmitting unit. A controller records the MPEG4 data in a recording medium.

Recording apparatus and recording system

A recording and reproducing apparatus () can record information on a recording memory () having a recording region where a smallest unit for erasing recorded information is a block, on a unit of a cluster that is a unit smaller than the block. The recording and reproducing apparatus () includes: an input unit () that receives a request for starting or ending recording a file; and a system control unit () that records a header section of the file and a data section following the header section, from the beginning of the block in the recording region, when the request for starting recording is received; and updates the header section and records the updated header section on another cluster different from the cluster on which the header section before update is recorded when the request for ending recording is received. The system control unit () further corrects management information indicating a connection order of information recorded on each of the clusters included by the recording medium so that the updated header section is followed by the data section, when the updated header section is recorded on the other cluster.

Recording apparatus and recording method

A formatting device () which formats a memory module in such a manner that delay in updating management information is prevented is a formatting device that formats a memory card () including a first recording area () and a second recording area () having different characteristics, the formatting device including: a use determination unit () configured to hold a ratio of recording areas to be allocated to each of directories that are to be created when the memory card () is formatted; and a management information generation unit () configured to allocate, to each directory, a recording area having a size determined for the directory according to the ratio held by the use determination unit (), the recording area being included in the first recording area () of the memory card ().

Formatting device

A shooting device includes a frame-rate setting section, a shooting section, and a recording section. The frame-rate setting section sets a frame rate at the shooting and a frame rate at the reproducing arbitrarily and independently. The shooting section shoots moving images at the shooting frame rate, and the recording section records video signals of the shot moving images together with information about the shooting frame rate and information about the reproducing frame rate, where both of the information are linked with the video signals.
