A function relating to communication of imaging data is assigned to an operational switch of an operating unit. A control unit switches a working mode of the assigned assignment function among a stop mode in which power supply to a communication unit that communicates the imaging data is stopped, a standby mode in which standby is performed to enable the communication of the imaging data by supplying power to the communication unit, and an executing mode in which the imaging data is communicated, depending on operational duration of the operational switch. In a case where the imaging data is not communicated, the assignment function is set to the stop mode, thereby realizing power saving. Further, the working mode of the assignment function can be switched depending on the operational duration of the operational switch, which improves the operability of an imaging device.

Imaging device and control method

A function relating to communication of imaging data is assigned to an operational switch of an operating unit. A control unit switches a working mode of the assigned assignment function among a stop mode in which power supply to a communication unit that communicates the imaging data is stopped, a standby mode in which standby is performed to enable the communication of the imaging data by supplying power to the communication unit, and an executing mode in which the imaging data is communicated, depending on an operational duration of the operational switch.

Further, the working mode of the assignment function can be switched depending on the operational duration of the operational switch, which improves the operability of an imaging device.

[Object] To make a preferable operation possible with a simple structure that does not require an operation member with a complicated mechanism. [Solving Means] A display process of displaying a setting screen for setting one of an adjustment position and a numerical value on the basis of a user operation and a control process of changing one of the adjustment position and the numerical value depending on a change of a position of a knob by the user operation on the setting screen displayed in the display process are included. In the display process, the knob that is moved on the slider by the user operation is displayed, and the position of the knob is set as a default position on the slider, when the user operation is not performed.

Imaging device and control method therefor

A captured image data management method is disclosed. Coverage direction data are input to a recorder-built-in type image capturing apparatus, and the coverage direction data are recorded to a nonvolatile memory and a record medium. The captured image data are obtained as files. A name of the file recorded on the record medium is automatically assigned based on title information contained in the coverage direction data, and the assigned file name is recorded to the nonvolatile memory and the record medium.

Captured image data management method and image capturing apparatus

A contents recording system and a contents recording method reducing a time taken for recording and editing of video content and other video contents. An optical disk device for recording video content and a computer are connected via a network. The computer is supplied with low resolution proxy AV data from the optical disk device, streaming reproduces it as live video and, at the same time, introduces essence marks as meta-data to any positions of the proxy AV data, and describes them in a meta-data file. The optical disk device transmits a header including a recording period of a captured clip to the computer after the end of the capture of the clip.

Contents recording system and contents recording method which transmits header information

An information processing method for an information processing apparatus to process content data, including generating content data information associated with content data; and registering information associated with the content data generated in the content data information generation step, in an edit list indicating a result of editing of the content data. The apparatus makes it possible to manage a large number of image data in the form of an editing result and easily manage a large number of image data having complicated relationships. A clip data detector of an editing apparatus detects clip data including image data and audio data supplied from the outside. The clip data detector extracts meta data associated with detected clip data and supplies it to a sub clip processing unit. A sub clip information generator of the sub clip processing unit generates sub clip information based on the meta data and supplies the generated sub clip information to a sub clip information registration unit. The sub clip information registration unit registers the sub clip information generated by there sub clip information generator in an edit list stored in an edit list memory.

Apparatus, method, and program for processing information

A contents recording system and a contents recording method reducing a time taken for recording and editing of video content and other video contents. An optical disk device for recording video content and a computer are connected via a network. The computer is supplied with low resolution proxy AV data from the optical disk device, streaming reproduces it as live video and, at the same time, introduces essence marks as meta-data to any positions of the proxy AV data, and describes them in a meta-data file. Then, after finishing shooting one clip, the computer merges a meta-data file generated on the optical disk device side in accordance with camera adjustment and a meta-data file generated on the computer side in accordance with the user operation.

Contents recording system and contents recording method

A contents recording system and a contents recording method reducing a time taken for recording and editing of video content and other video contents and enabling editing of the video contents with a high reliability. An optical disk device for recording video content and a computer are connected via a network. The computer is supplied with clip data of the video and low resolution proxy AV data from the optical disk device, streaming reproduces them as live video and, at the same time, introduces essence marks as meta-data to any positions of the proxy AV data, and describes them in a meta-data file. When a communication abnormality occurs between the optical disk device and the computer, the clip data is notified to the computer again.

A video content editing support system is disclosed which is made up of a recording apparatus for recording captured video content data to a recording medium, and an editor terminal apparatus for displaying the video content data supplied from the recording apparatus. The system includes: a mark table for converting electronic mark data associated with the video content data into electronic shot mark data on a one-to-one correspondence basis; a recording unit for writing the electronic mark data and the electronic shot mark data to the video content data; and an extraction unit for extracting video data based on the electronic shot mark data written to the video content data.
