Systems and methods are presented for efficient cross-fading (or other multiple clip processing) of compressed domain information streams on a user or client device, such as a telephone, tablet, computer or MP3 player, or any consumer device with audio playback. Exemplary implementation systems may provide cross-fade between AAC/Enhanced AAC Plus (EAACPlus) information streams or between MP3 information streams or even between information streams of unmatched formats (e.g. AAC to MP3 or MP3 to AAC). Furthermore, these systems are distinguished by the fact that cross-fade is directly applied to the compressed bitstreams so that a single decode operation may be performed on the resulting bitstream. Moreover, using the described methods, similar cross fade in the compressed domain between information streams utilizing other formats of compression, such as, for example, MP2, AC-3, PAC, etc. can also be advantageously implemented. Thus, in exemplary embodiments of the present invention a set of frames from each input stream associated with the time interval in which a cross fade is decoded, and combined and recoded with a cross fade or other effect now in the compressed bitstream.

A system is described that permits identified musical phrases or themes to be synchronized and linked into changing real-world events. The achieved synchronization includes a seamless musical transition—achieved using a timing offset, such as relative advancement of an significant musical “onset,” that is inserted to align with a pre-existing but identified music signature, beat or timebase—between potentially disparate pre-identified musical phrases having different emotive themes defined by their respective time signatures, intensities, keys, musical rhythms and/or musical phrasing. The system operates to augment an overall sensory experience of a user in the real world by dynamically changing, re-ordering or repeating and then playing audio themes within the context of what is occurring in the surrounding physical environment, e.g. during different phases of a cardio workout in a step class the music rate and intensity increase during sprint periods and decrease during recovery periods. 1. A method of determining onsets and their position in a digital signal , the method comprising:separating transient parts of the digital signal from a relatively stationary part of the digital signal to produce a time domain representation;generating an amplitude envelope of the transient part;setting a power threshold in the amplitude envelope and detecting localised peaks in the amplitude envelope that exceed the power threshold; andwith respect to each localised peak, working backwards in time from that localized peak to find a sampling point at which a characteristic of the digital signal before that point in time is maximally different from that same characteristic of the digital signal after that point in time; andselecting, as the position of the onset for the localized peak, the sampling point that is maximally different.2.

Inputs, including the digital interfaces, act as data sources. Outputs, including the digital interfaces, act as data destinations. The integrated circuit also includes signal processing blocks, which can act as data sources and data destinations. Signal routing is achieved by means of a multiply-accumulate block, which takes data from one or more data source and, after any required scaling, generates output data for a data destination. Data from a data source is buffered for an entire period of a data sample clock so that the multiply-accumulate block can retrieve the data at any point in the period, and output data of the multiply-accumulate block is buffered for an entire period of the data sample clock so that the data destination can retrieve the data at any point in the period. Multiple signal paths can be defined by configuration data supplied to the device, either by a user, or by software. The multiply-accumulate block operates on a time division multiplexed basis, so that multiple signal paths can be processed within one period of the sample clock. Each signal path has a respective sample clock rate, and paths with different sample clock rates can be routed through the multiply-accumulate block on a time division multiplexed basis independently of each other.

The integrated circuit also includes signal processing blocks, which can act as data sources and data destinations. Signal routing is achieved by means of a multiply-accumulate block, which takes data from one or more data source and, after any required scaling, generates output data for a data destination. Data from a data source is buffered for an entire period of a data sample clock so that the multiply-accumulate block can retrieve the data at any point in the period, and output data of the multiply-accumulate block is buffered for an entire period of the data sample clock so that the data destination can retrieve the data at any point in the period. Multiple signal paths can be defined by configuration data supplied to the device, either by a user, or by software. The multiply-accumulate block operates on a time division multiplexed basis, so that multiple signal paths can be processed within one period of the sample clock. Each signal path has a respective sample clock rate, and paths with different sample clock rates can be routed through the multiply-accumulate block on a time division multiplexed basis independently of each other. Thus, speech signals at 8 kHz or 16 kHz can be processed concurrently with audio data at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. 1. An integrated circuit comprising:a digital mixing core configurable to mix streams of audio data samples, said digital mixing core comprising:a plurality of digital signal processing blocks, each comprising:one or more source ports configurable to transmit respective audio data samples at a respective sample clock rate; andone or more destination ports configurable to receive respective audio data samples ...

Simulcasting conditional access channel service offerings for video delivery in a telecommunications network

Номер: US20140123169A1
Автор: Joseph D. Nucara, Stanislav Koukarine
Принадлежит: ADARA TECHNOLOGIES Inc

A telecommunications system utilizes switched video technologies to deploy video programming over a second conditional access system (CAS) in parallel with video programming broadcast over an incumbent CAS. The programming content is switched onto the second CAS only when requested by a subscriber, thus the content deployed over the second CAS occupies a fraction of the transport channels the first CAS occupies. A full channel lineup can be simulcast using a fraction of the traditional CAS bandwidth. This arrangement permits subscriber set top boxes to be configured for either the traditional CAS protocol or the second CAS protocol. In one embodiment, the second CAS programming content is simulcast in parallel with the traditional programming content using spare transport channels in the existing RF spectrum. Thus, the cable television operator can incorporate the SDV technology and second CAS without replacement of or disruption to the traditional CAS equipment.
