Embodiment Construction

[0035]Media such as movies, music, TV shows, sports, user-generated video can come from many sources. Examples of media sources include satellite, cable, websites, proprietary communication lines and a user's own devices and local storage. While media flow continues to expand to different sources and different devices, metadata, e.g. information, relevant to that media, is also available from different sources such as websites, and online encyclopaedias, online or local private databases, and other sources.

[0036]FIG. 1 presents a block diagram representation of a video system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In particular, a metadata processing device 125 is presented that operates to embed metadata from a metadata source 208 in a video signal 110 to form a processed video signal 112. Metadata processing device 125 has the ability to integrate relevant metadata to content being processed to create a seamless experience that allows a user to enhance their co...

Abstract

A video decoding device includes a metadata extraction device that extracts metadata and a video signal from a processed video signal, wherein the metadata is time-coded in accordance with at least one time stamp of the video signal. A metadata display generator generates metadata display data in response to the metadata. A video decoder decodes the video signal to generate a decoded video signal. An output interface generates a video / metadata output by synchronizing the metadata display data to the decoded video signal in accordance with the at least one time stamp.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENTS[0001]The present application claims priority under 35 USC 119(e) to the provisionally filed application entitled, “VIDEO PROCESSING DEVICE FOR EMBEDDING TIME-CODED METADATA AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH,” having Ser. No. 61 / 546,405, filed on Oct. 12, 2011, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and made part of the present U.S. Utility Patent Application for all purposes.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the processing and display of video signals.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART[0003]Broadcast television, cable television and direct broadcast satellite networks are each mature technologies for providing video content to end users. In today's world of broadband Internet connections however, users have a far greater choice as to the source of such content.
