Video Effect Recall Technique

View page
US Patent:
20090096929, Apr 16, 2009
Filed:
Sep 2, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/990571
Inventors:
Ralph Andrew Silberstein - Grass Valley CA, US
International Classification:
H04N 5/268
US Classification:
348659, 348E05056
Abstract:
A video switcher () advantageously affords the capability of executing a video effect following recall that avoids visible artifacts upon transitioning from one effect to another. At the outset, the switcher identifies active elements within the video effect, the comprising those elements that undergo a change during execution of the video effect, as opposed to those that remain inert during effect execution. The switcher then dynamically calculates offset for application to an initial key frame value for the video effect to avoid any change in value to active elements upon initial effect recall. The offset value is applied to each subsequent interpolation of the video effect, thereby creating the desired result of applying only relative changes to the active elements of the video effect.

Method And Apparatus For Displaying An Image With A Production Switcher

US Patent:
20090273715, Nov 5, 2009
Filed:
Mar 28, 2006
Appl. No.:
12/225127
Inventors:
David Alan Casper - Nevada city CA, US
Ralph Andrew Silberstein - Grass Valley CA, US
International Classification:
H04N 9/74
H04N 5/268
US Classification:
348578, 348705, 348E05057, 348E09055
Abstract:
A video production switcher comprises a number of mix effects (M/E) units and a controller. The latter comprises a control layer that controls the M/Es to provide video outputs through projection devices that give the appearance of displaying one unified pixel space canvas.

Methods And Apparatus For Automated Aesthetic Transitioning Between Scene Graphs

View page
US Patent:
20100095236, Apr 15, 2010
Filed:
Jun 25, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/450174
Inventors:
Ralph Andrew Silberstein - Grass Valley CA, US
David Sahuc - Grass Valley CA, US
Donald Johnson Childers - Grass Valley CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/048
G06T 11/20
US Classification:
715781, 345440
Abstract:
There are provided methods and apparatus for automated aesthetic transitioning between scene graphs. An apparatus for transitioning from at least one active viewpoint in a first scene graph to at least one active viewpoint in a second scene graph includes an object state determination device, an object matcher, a transition calculator, and a transition organizer. The object state determination device is for determining respective states of the objects in the at least one active viewpoint in the first and the second scene graphs. The object matcher is for identifying matching ones of the objects between the at least one active viewpoint in the first and the second scene graphs. The transition calculator is for calculating transitions for the matching ones of the objects. The transition organizer is for organizing the transitions into a timeline for execution.

Method And Apparatus For Enhancing Digital Video Effects (Dve)

View page
US Patent:
20100122168, May 13, 2010
Filed:
Nov 8, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/450538
Inventors:
Ralph Andrew Silberstein - Grass Valley CA, US
Donald Johnson Childers - Grass Valley CA, US
David Sahuc - Grass Valley CA, US
Assignee:
THOMSON LICENSING - PRINCETON NJ
International Classification:
G06F 3/01
G06F 17/30
H04N 5/93
US Classification:
715719, 707803, 386 52, 707E17044, 386E05001
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for enhancing digital video effects (DVE) operates to embed DVE functionality within a graphics modeling system and provides the user with an interface configured to present model elements to a user as controllable parameters. In order to embed DVE functionality, a dynamic data structure is introduced as a scene to allow the addition of user defined model elements. The user interface enables the identification of, and access to the newly introduced model elements.

Method And System For Accessibility And Control Of Parameters In Scenegraphs

View page
US Patent:
20100271392, Oct 28, 2010
Filed:
Jun 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/450125
Inventors:
Ralph Andrew Silberstein - Grass Valley CA, US
David Sahuc - Nevada CA, US
Donald Johnson Childers - Grass Valley CA, US
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345619
Abstract:
A method and system for providing access to and control of parameters within a scenegraph includes redefining components or nodes' semantic within a scenegraph. The set of components or nodes (depending on the scenegraph structure) are required to enable access from the Application User Interface to selected scenegraph information. In one embodiment, a user interface is generated for controlling the scenegraph parameters. In addition, constraints can be implemented that allow or disallow access to certain scenegraph parameters and restrict their range of values.
