International Classification:
H04N 5/225
US Classification:
34820711, 348E05042
Abstract:
A camera event logger device coupled to a motion picture camera, including: a data port configured to receive control signals to manage the logger device including a particular receive frequency; a radio-frequency receiver configured to receive time signal of the particular receive frequency to enable fine adjustment of a timecode; a timecode manager including a plurality of timecode readers and at least one timecode generator, a first timecode reader of the plurality of timecode readers configured to receive the time signal from the radio-frequency receiver and make the time signal available to the at least one timecode generator, wherein the at least one timecode generator is configured to generate the timecode by conditioning the time signal, the timecode manager configured to receive camera timecode from the motion picture camera, and to send back adjusted camera timecode adjusted in accordance with the conditioned timecode; a processor configured to receive camera status information from the motion picture camera and the conditioned timecode from the timecode manager, wherein the camera status information is tagged with the conditioned timecode and processed to generate metadata files; and a storage unit configured to store the metadata files. Keywords include logger, timecode, and slate.

Method For Maintaining Edit Decision Lists For Digital Audio/Video Reproducers To Maintain Synchronization Across Timecode Edits
US Patent:
6771881, Aug 3, 2004
Filed:
Sep 20, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/666124
Inventors:
James S. Ketcham - Malibu CA 90265
International Classification:
G11B 2700
US Classification:
386 55, 386 52
Abstract:
A system is provided for maintaining an edit decision list for an audio/video reproducer so as to maintain synchronization across discontinuous position references, such as timecode. Discontinuities are detected, measured and the edit decision list maintained with one pass in real time. The system may be implemented into separate nodes of an asynchronous network. The system generally operates by first receiving a timecode. A discontinuity is detected within the timecode and the edit decision list is searched for a corresponding timecode discontinuity. If a corresponding timecode discontinuity is not found in the edit decision list, the edit decision list is maintained by creating and adding a timecode corresponding to the detected timecode discontinuity. Dropouts and errors in the timecode are detected and corrected and a sequential timecode is generated. A selected segment of digital audio/video is opened using the sequential timecode and a continuous audio/video stream is created from the maintained edit decision list.
