System and Method for Using Coded Data From a Video Source to Compress a Media Signal
First Claim
1. A video system comprising:
- a video camera to generate an uncompressed video stream and metadata, the metadata corresponding to one or more characteristics of the uncompressed video stream based on at least one of the video camera'"'"'s position, state, or movement; and
a codec communicatively coupled to the video camera, the codec configured to;
receive the uncompressed video stream and the metadata from the video camera; and
compress the uncompressed video stream based on the one or more characteristics of the uncompressed video stream included in the metadata.

Abstract
Systems and methods disclosed herein create encoder sensitive video using single and/or bidirectional communication links between a video source and an encoding process to pass metadata (e.g., instructions and cues related to the video stream) to an encoder. A video system includes a video source to generate an uncompressed video stream and metadata corresponding to one or more characteristics of the uncompressed video stream. The video source may include, for example, a video camera or video editing equipment. The metadata may be based on a position, state, movement or other condition of the video source. The system also includes a codec communicatively coupled to the video source. The codec receives the uncompressed video stream and compresses it based on the one or more characteristics indicated in the metadata.

13. A video compression method comprising:
-
generating an uncompressed video stream and metadata using a video camera, the metadata corresponding to one or more characteristics of the uncompressed video stream based on at least one of the video camera'"'"'s position, state, or movement; transmitting the uncompressed video stream and metadata to a codec; and compressing the uncompressed video stream using the codec based on the one or more characteristics of the uncompressed video stream included in the metadata. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
