Virtual Directing System for Live Video Production
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current directing methods for live streaming video programs require costly facilities and multiple personnel, leading to high labor and facility costs, as well as low operational efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A directing method and system that generates a directing configuration file based on guest information, allowing a director terminal to perform directing operations with reduced facility and labor costs, and without the need for multiple personnel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If professional directing facilities and multiple personnel are used, then directing functionality is achieved, but facility costs and labor costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses virtual copying to replace physical directing facilities. A virtual directing system is created through software that replicates the functions of expensive physical equipment (signal switching, sound adjustment, caption adding, etc.) in a virtual environment, eliminating the need for costly physical infrastructure while maintaining directing capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical/physical directing systems with software-based virtual directing. Instead of using physical signal switching equipment, sound adjustment hardware, and other mechanical facilities, the system uses virtual directing software to perform all directing operations, substituting mechanical systems with software solutions
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple personnel cooperate on directing, then comprehensive directing operations are performed, but labor costs and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple directing functions and personnel roles into a single integrated virtual directing system. The virtual directing software consolidates signal switching, sound adjustment, caption adding, program broadcasting, signal recording, and other functions that previously required multiple specialized personnel into one unified software platform that can be operated by a single user
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual directing system is designed with multi-functionality to perform all directing operations that previously required multiple specialized personnel. The software provides universal directing capabilities including signal switching, sound adjustment, caption adding, program broadcasting, signal recording, and more, allowing one operator to perform roles that previously required multiple specialists
3Reliability
If traditional directing facilities are used, then professional directing is achieved, but operational efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the directing workflow that operates more efficiently than physical facilities. The virtual directing system replicates professional directing functions while eliminating the operational inefficiencies associated with physical equipment handling, manual signal routing, and coordination between multiple personnel, thereby improving directing operational efficiency while maintaining quality
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present application describe techniques of facilitating directing operations. The techniques comprise obtaining guest information of a target studio, where the guest information includes a room identification number of a guest room, the guest room associated with producing content scenes; generating a directing configuration file based on the guest information of the target studio; and sending the directing configuration file to a director terminal associated with content directing, so that the director terminal performs a directing operation based on the directing configuration file.
