Abstract
A method for acquiring media of the same event from multiple devices can include synchronizing, using at least one timecode module configured to receive timecode data over a wireless network, a personal device and a professional device, acquiring media data with the synchronized devices, associating the timecode data with the acquired media, and merging acquired media data from the personal device with the acquired media data from the professional device. The merging can be based, at least in part, on the timecode data.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- providing a timecode module configured to receive timecode data over a wireless network, the timecode data being part of a data packet structure of a transmission over the wireless network and based on a genlock signal waveform standard;
- synchronizing, via the timecode module, a personal device and a professional device with one another, wherein, upon synchronization, each of the personal device and professional device acquires media data, including at least one of video data and audio data, of a same, live event;
- associating the timecode data with media data of the same, live event acquired by the synchronized personal device and the synchronized professional device, by embedding the timecode data into the acquired media data in order to process the media data and synchronize the media data acquired by each of the personal and professional devices;
- and
- providing at least some of the processed media data to a social media platform to allow users of the platform to merge at least some of the media data acquired by the personal device with at least some of the media data acquired by the professional device.

A method, comprising:
- synchronizing a plurality of devices by using one or more timecode modules configured to receive timecode data over a wireless network, the timecode data being part of a data packet structure of a transmission over the wireless network and based on a genlock signal waveform standard, wherein, upon synchronization, each of the plurality of devices acquires media data, including at least one of video data and audio data, of a same, live event;
- associating the timecode data with media data of the same, live event acquired by the plurality of synchronized devices, by embedding the timecode data into the acquired media data in order to process the media data and synchronize the media data acquired by each of the plurality of devices, the event being the same event for each of the plurality of synchronized devices;
- and
- providing at least some of the processed media data to a social media platform to allow users of the platform to merge at least some of the media data acquired by different ones of the plurality of devices.
