Definitions

  • the invention relates to the creation, manipulation, transmission, storage, and especially synchronization of multi-media entertainment, educational and other programming having at least video and associated information.
  • the invention will find particular use with respect to the creation and distribution of television programs.
  • programs The creation, manipulation, transmission, storage, etc. of multi-media content, be it entertainment, educational, scientific, business, and other programming having at least video and associated information requires synchronization.
  • Typical examples of such programming are television and movie programs, motion medical images, and various engineering and scientific content. These are collectively referred to as "programs.”
  • these programs include a visual or video portion, an audible or audio portion, and may also include one or more various data type portions.
  • Typical data type portions include closed captioning, narrative descriptions for the blind, additional program information data such as web sites and further information directives and various metadata included in compressed (such as for example MPEG and JPEG) systems.
  • the video and associated signal programs are produced, operated on, stored or conveyed in a manner such that the synchronization of various ones of the aforementioned audio, video and/or data is affected.
  • the synchronization of audio and video commonly known as lip sync
  • One aspect of multi-media programming is maintaining audio and video synchronization in audio-visual presentations, such as television programs, for example to prevent annoyances to the viewers, to facilitate further operations with the program or to facilitate analysis of the program.
  • the video and audio signals in a television system are increasingly being subjected to more and more steps of digital processing. Each step has the potential to add a different amount of delay to the video and audio, thereby introducing a lip sync error.
  • Incorrect lip sync is a major concern to newscasters, advertisers, politicians and others who are trying to convey a sense of trust, accuracy and sincerity to their audience. Studies have demonstrated that when lip sync errors are present, viewers perceive a message as less interesting, more unpleasant, less influential and less successful than the same message with proper lip sync.
  • the cumulative delay of the video with respect to the audio can be 6 or more frames. With the inclusion of video and audio compression in any part(s) of the system the video delays with respect to audio can be much more. Worse yet, the amount of video delay frequently jumps by a frame or more as the operating mode changes, or as frames of video are dropped or repeated to achieve synchronization of the video to studio and other references. Using a fixed audio delay to "mop up" the audio to video timing errors is rarely a satisfactory solution because of the constantly changing video delay.
  • newer master control switchers have an internal DVE for squeezeback operation rather than an external DVE. This allows the use of a constant insertion delay of 1 frame for both the video and the audio paths in all modes of operation.
  • the present invention provides for method of producing time synchronized multi-media signals.
  • the preferred embodiment of the present invention is a method, apparatus (system), and program product where audio and video portions of multi-media content, e.g., a television or other program, may be synchronized by inserting and controlling appropriate audio delays. This increases the apparent synchrony of the desired signals.
  • the method, system, and program product described herein provide for entering a delay value in the relative timing of a video signal conveying a plurality of images and an associated signal, as an audio signal.
  • This is accomplished by a method, system and program product for producing time synchronized multi-media signals. This is done by inputting a start pulse, for example, a GPI Start pulse, a stop pulse, for example, a GPI Stop pulse, and a tally line for each video input.
  • the next step is generating a Timer On/Off signal and a Time Value signal for each set of start pulses, stop pulse and tallies, and providing the Timer On/Off signal and a Time Value signals to a router.
  • These outputs are properly associated with each other, processed and coupled to an audio synchronizer as one or more control signals, which in the preferred embodiment are a single signal of delay steering pulses for control of the delay of the audio signal.
  • One feature of the present invention is that the number of Interfaces and Tally contact closures can be stored in the timelines to control external devices.
  • various combinations of input signals can be associated with the delay setting to create delay output signals.
  • an external interface can be used to interpret the GPI and tally outputs and generate the necessary steering commands to control audio synchronizers. This permits automatic correction of the lip sync errors.
  • the DG-1200 interface from Pixel Instruments can be preset to provide up to twelve different delays and can steer up to five audio synchronizers.
  • the insertion of the audio delay can be triggered by tally signals, GPIs, or a combination of both. Gating the tally signal with GPIs improves the immunity to false delay insertion.
  • DVE 1 has a variable delay of 0-1.5 frames and the second DVE has a fixed delay of 2.25 frames.
  • DVE 1 has a corresponding pair of GPI signals and a tally signal.
  • DVE 2 has only an associated tally signal.
  • the GPI signals will indicate the current delay, that is the GPI start is triggered when a particular video frame enters DVE 1 and the GPI stop is triggered when that same particular video frame exits DVE1.
  • the associated tally is asserted when the output of DVE1 is being utilized by the switcher.
  • the DG-1200 When the output of DVE 2 is being utilized by the switcher its associated tally is asserted.
  • the DG-1200 will (as set up by an operator) receive the two tallys and two GPI signals as well as a 2.25 frame delay value. These signals and the delay value are utilized to create a delay output signal (DDO pulse) to control an audio synchronizer to cause the audio synchronizer delay to match the video delay of the production switcher as the two DVEs are inserted into (and taken out of) the video path.
  • the two GPIs corresponding to DVE 1 are utilized to determine the current DVE 1 delay.
  • the two tallies are used to determine if one or both DVEs are inserted into the video path.
  • DVE 1 is inserted (as determined by its corresponding tally), its delay (as determined by the GPIs) is added to the DDO signal.
  • DVE 2 is inserted (as determined by its corresponding tally) the 2.25 frame delay value is inserted into the DDO signal. Consequently the DDO may indicate 0 delay (neither DVE is used), the DVE 1 delay (DVE 1 is in use), a 2.25 freme delay (DVE 2 is in use) or a delay of 2.25 frames plus the DVE 1 delay (both DVEs are in use).
  • the preferred embodiment of the invention has the ability to utilize and configure its various inputs to match differing video systems.
  • the GPIs may be utilized as an indicator of when a DVE is being used (as compared to indicating a varying delay as in the above example), or as an additional indicator along with the tally.

Note that while Figure 3 illustrates a typical system by way of example, one of ordinary skill will recognize that the teachings herein are applicable to general systems, methods and products wherein video signal processing causes changing video delays.
  • Figure 4 illustrates video inputs and audio inputs with a video switcher with internal DVE's to generate GPI's and Tally signals, which system includes an embodiment of the present invention operable to generate a delay steering pulse to control a single audio delay operating on audio out of an audio mixer to provide a corrected audio output.

  • the number of GPI and Tally assertions can be stored in these timelines to indicate system configuration and/or control external devices. Since the video delay through the switcher (or other system) is usually predictable (based on the combination of effects), an external interface of the present invention can be used to interpret these GPI and tally outputs and generate the necessary steering commands to control audio synchronizers. This permits automatic correction of the lip sync errors.
