Simultaneous Storage And Network Transmission Of Multimedia Data With Video Host That Requests Stored Data According To Response Time From A Server

US Patent:
6211869, Apr 3, 2001
Filed:
May 27, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/322810
Inventors:
Jason S. Loveman - San Jose CA
Mark S. Allen - Sunnyvale CA
Ronald White - Lake Forest CA
Charles E. Haynes - San Francisco CA
Assignee:
Avid Technology, Inc. - Tewksbury MA
International Classification:
G06F 300
US Classification:
345328
Abstract:
A digital multimedia newsroom production system allows users of the system to create, browse and catalog multimedia assets. The system includes a multimedia capture and encoding system that captures multimedia data, and substantially simultaneously provides a first compressed version of the multimedia data having a first resolution, and a second compressed version of the multimedia data having a second resolution that is different than the first resolution; a multimedia storage system, coupled to the multimedia capture and encoding system, that stores multimedia information including the first and second compressed versions of the multimedia data; and a video editing and playback system coupled to the multimedia storage system. The video editing and playback system includes editing circuitry that generates a composition that uses a portion of the first compressed version, and playback circuitry that plays the composition using a portion of the second compressed version that corresponds to the portion of the first compressed version. The multimedia storage system stores multimedia information including the compressed versions of the multimedia data, and provides to a network the first compressed version of the multimedia data substantially simultaneously as the first compressed version is stored.
