Abstract
A multimedia device includes input ports dedicated to receiving a real-time media signal and a processor system dedicated to capturing the real-time media signal. The processor system defines an embedded environment. The input ports and the processor system are integrated into the multimedia capture device. The input ports include an audio input port and at least one of a visual-capture input port or a digital-image input port.
Claims1
A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor system within an embedded environment, the code comprising code to cause the processor system to:
- receive a schedule configured to trigger capture and compression of at least one of an audio signal, a visual-capture signal or a digital-image signal, the schedule being received from a control device separate from a device having the processor system;
- capture the at least one of the audio signal, the visual-capture signal or the digital-image signal based on the schedule through an input port associated with a capture device of a device type to produce a captured signal;
- compress the capture signal based on a compression variable associated with the schedule and based on the device type to produce a compressed signal;
- and
- send the compressed signal after the compressed signal is produced.
