SIGNAL CAPTURE AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

A system that relates annotations captured at an event and continuous signal recordings, such as video recordings, of the event in such a way that once the recordings and annotations are distributed to a remote site, an operator does not have to manually identify the time intervals of individual segments that are identified in the annotations. Prior to distribution to the remote sites, the annotations that are collected for the event (124) are processed to identify a series of time segments, including a time interval of the signal recordings (140). The time reference for these identified time intervals is based on the signal recordings themselves, for example, being relative to a time reference marks that are introduced into the video recordings before they are distributed to the remote site, or being based on a recorded time signal. At the remote sites, the time references for the video recordings are determined, for example by locating the time reference marks, and the distributed annotations are used to automatically segment the video recordings.
