Автор: Aleksey G. Ivershen, Robert Todd Wilkinson
Принадлежит: Tektronix Inc

Video data packets transmitted through a wireless network are captured by a network monitoring system. Video data sessions are detected from the video data packets. Key parameters are identified within the video data packets, such as video bit rate, resent or failed video packets, and video session duration. A Quality of Experience (QoE) is determined for some or all users associated with the video sessions based upon the key parameters. A header extension is added to the video data packets by a transcoding system. The header extension includes data associated with original and transcoded video data packets. The network monitoring system monitors the header extension and evaluates the effect of video transcoding upon the overall QoE for users. The monitoring system provides feedback to a transcoding policy engine based upon the effect of transcoding upon QoE.

A processor and method are provided for decoding a multimedia file having video and audio data streams that are configured to be played in synchronization. Frames of the video stream are decoded and played with the audio and, to compensate for saturation of the processor usage, two procedures are performed. The first procedure operates at a first periodic interval and slows down the frame rate to reduce processor usage if needed. The second procedure first attempts to speed up the video to catch up to the audio if they are out of sync and if this cannot be done in the next time interval, the decoding of a select number of frames is skipped such that the video and audio data streams are resynchronized.

Receivers for COFDM digital television transmissions

Номер: US20130028336A1
Автор: Allen LeRoy Limberg
Принадлежит: Individual

A receiver of COFDM digital television signals includes an inner decoder for iterative soft-decision decoding of concatenated convolutional coding (CCC) and an outer decoder for Reed-Solomon (RS) coding. The receiver generates error flags for identifying code symbols to be erased before the output symbols from the inner decoder are byte de-interleaved and supplied to the outer decoder. Generation of those flags depends on soft decoding results from the inner decoder. The method of locating errors ascribes to each byte supplied to the outer decoder for RS coding the highest lack-of-confidence level specified by the soft data bits associated with that byte. The method is described as being extended to locate byte errors in plural-dimension cross-interleaved Reed-Solomon codes (CIRC) apt to be employed in DTV broadcasting to mobile and handheld receivers.

The modulator is configured to, according to transmission data to be transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver, modulate a first luminance signal indicative of an amount of the light the light source is configured to emit, to generate a second luminance signal. The first driver is configured to generate the first drive signal based on the second luminance signal. A mean of the second luminance signal during one frame in the input video signal is substantially equal to a value of the first luminance signal in the frame.

A video or multimedia distribution system receives multiple video streams and transcodes them into a single stream of UDP packets with each of the plurality of video data packets for respective ones of the video streams being assigned a port number corresponding to the respective video stream. The UDP packets are routed to a plurality of Access Points (APs) for transmission throughout a vehicle, such as an aircraft or ship. A User Equipment (UE) communicates with the APs and selects one or more of the video streams for viewing on the UE by selecting the port number corresponding to the desired video streams. The UE can “change channels” to view other video streams by changing the port number to the port number of the desired video stream.
