| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7724964 | Digital intermediate (DI) processing and distribution with scalable compression in the post-production of motion pictures Scalable image compression is exploited to facilitate the creative process in the post-production of motion pictures. Specifically, digital intermediate (DI) processing of motion pictures is enabled by dynamically rendering proxies 126 (steps 122, 124, 128) i... | 05/25/2010 |
| 7548853 | Scalable compressed audio bit stream and codec using a hierarchical filterbank and multichannel joint coding A method for compressing audio input signals to form a master bit stream that can be scaled to form a scaled bit stream having an arbitrarily prescribed data rate. A hierarchical filterbank decomposes the input signal into a multi-resolution time/frequency represent... | 06/16/2009 |
| 7392195 | Lossless multi-channel audio codec A lossless audio codec segments audio data within each frame to improve compression performance subject to a constraint that each segment must be fully decodable and less than a maximum size. For each frame, the codec selects the segment duration and coding paramete... | 06/24/2008 |
| 7333929 | Modular scalable compressed audio data stream Methods and apparatus are provided for the creation and utilization of unique compressed data stream compositions, structures and formats which allow for the alteration of the data stream's data rate without first decoding the data stream back to its uncompressed fo... | 02/19/2008 |
| 7212872 | Discrete multichannel audio with a backward compatible mix A multichannel audio format provides a truly discrete as well as a backward compatible mix for surround-sound, front or other discrete audio channels in cinema, home theater, or music environments. The additional discrete audio signals are mixed with the existing di... | 05/01/2007 |
| 6741323 | Motion picture subtitle system and method In a motion picture subtitle system a shutter such as a mechanical dowser, LCLV, or E/O diffuser is inserted in the optical path between the supplemental projector and the motion picture screen and synchronized to the projection of the subtitles to reduce visual art... | 05/25/2004 |
