Patent Images
1. A device for producing a plurality of recordings of a live event, comprising:
- a recording module in operative communication with a plurality of storage devices;
a receiver module adapted to receive a signal from the event;
a processor module operatively coupled to the first and second receiver modules; and
a memory module operatively coupled to the processor module, the memory module comprising executable code for the processor module to;
capture the signal as a media file in a memory archive;
send the signal to each of the devices for capture as distribution media files on the devices;
compare respective data sizes of the media file and a given distribution media file on a given device; and
when the respective data sizes are not the same, send a copy of the media file to the given device.

Abstract
The invention provides an improved method and system for capturing live events or performances onto portable storage devices as high quality recordings. The portable storage devices may be removably connected to the system or in wireless communication with the system. The signal from the event may include audio and/or visual data, and may be captured as a media file in a memory archive and simultaneously as distribution media files on the portable storage devices. A checksum, cyclic redundancy check, or the like may be implemented to verify that each distribution media is the same as the media file.

14. A method for producing a plurality of recordings of an event, comprising the steps of:
-
operatively communicating with a plurality of storage devices; receiving a signal from the event; capturing the signal as a compressed file in a memory archive, and simultaneously sending the signal to each of the devices for capture as distribution files on the devices; comparing respective data sizes of the compressed file and a given distribution file on a given device; and when the respective data sizes are not the same, sending a copy of the compressed file to the given device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for producing a plurality of recordings of a live performance, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a plurality of portable storage devices; when a storage format of a given device of the plurality of devices is not compatible with a predefined format scheme, reformatting the given device according to the predefined format scheme; when a file partitioning on the given device is not compatible with a predefined partitioning scheme, repartitioning the given device according to the predefined partitioning scheme; receiving a signal from the performance; capturing the signal as a full resolution media file and as a compressed media file; capturing the signal as distribution media files on the devices; when the live performance concludes, comparing respective data sizes of the compressed media file and a given distribution media file on the given device; and when the respective data sizes are not the same, (a) copying the compressed media file to the given device, and (b) performing a redundancy check to verify all data of the compressed media file has been correctly copied onto the given device.
