Abstract

A capture device permits selecting portions of a media stream encoded with associated data based on specified event data. The associated data corresponds to the content within the media stream, and the event data includes words and phrases of media desired by a user. The capture device contains a media processing unit, a delay device, and a control device. The media processing unit includes a decoder that is configured to receive media streams and extract the associated data from the media stream. The delay device, configured as a circular buffer, stores a predetermined length of the media stream. The control device receives the event data, compares the associated data with the event data, and generates a trigger event when the associated data matches the event data.
