METHOD FOR PROCESSING VIDEO AND/OR AUDIO SIGNALS

摘要

A method for processing video and/or audio signals utilizing a processing component which is communicatively connected with a source component having a compression stage for compressing video and/or audio signals is suggested. The method comprises the steps of receiving uncompressed video and/or audio signals as source signals at the source component from one or a plurality of sources; compressing the video and/or audio signals with a selectable compression factor; transmitting the compressed video and/or audio signals to the processing component; processing the compressed video/audio signals in the processing component to produce at least one production output signal. In addition to that a system for processing video and/or audio signals is proposed. The system comprises a source component, a routing component and a processing component. The source component transmits all received source signals through the routing component to the processing component. The processing component is adapted to determine a source signal as being important and to send a request to the source component requesting the transmission of the determined source signal as high quality signal.

1. Method for processing at least one of video and audio signals utilizing a processing component which is communicatively connected via a data network with a source component having a compression stage for compressing the at least one of video and audio signals, wherein the method comprises
receiving at least one of uncompressed video and audio signals as source signals at the source component from at least one of a plurality of sources; compressing the at least one of video and audio signals with a selectable first compression factor; transmitting the at least one of compressed video and audio signals to the processing component; processing the at least one of compressed video and audio signals in the processing component to produce at least one production output signal and a multi-view signal; wherein the method further comprises determining a specific source signal as being important for the production output signal because of content of the specific source signal by one of a predefined algorithm and manual user input; sending the source signal determined as being important for the production output signal from the source component at the same time as a high quality signal and as a compressed signal to the processing component, wherein the high quality signal is compressed with a second compression factor which is smaller than the first compression factor; processing the high quality signal and at least one of the compressed video and audio signals in the processing component to produce the production output signal; and processing all of the compressed video and audio signals in the processing component to produce the multi-view signal.
