Abstract
A video stream management system includes a video controller that live renders video. Moreover, the video stream management system also includes a display that is communicatively coupled to the video controller and displays a primary video feed that includes the live rendered video. The video controller, the display, or a combination thereof, embeds a pixel pattern in the primary video feed. Additionally, the video feed management system monitors one or more displayed images on the display to identify an error in the primary video feed.
Claims20
A video stream management system, comprising:
- a video controller configured to live render video;
- and
- a display communicatively coupled to the video controller and configured to display a primary video stream comprising the live rendered video, wherein the video controller, the display, or a combination thereof, is configured to embed a pixel pattern in the primary video feed, and wherein the video stream management system is configured to monitor one or more displayed images on the display to identify an error in the primary video feed.
A method of managing a video feed, comprising:
- embedding a dynamic pixel pattern into frames of a live video feed, wherein the dynamic pixel pattern comprises a first pixel pattern associated with a first frame and a second pixel pattern associated with a second frame, wherein the first pixel pattern is different than the second pixel pattern;
- displaying the live video feed having the dynamic pixel pattern using a display;
- monitoring displayed images on the display;
- identifying an error in the live video feed in response to determining that the monitored displayed images comprise displayed pixel patterns that do not match the embedded dynamic pixel pattern;
- and
- switching from displaying the live video feed to displaying an alternative video feed in response to identifying presence of the error in the live video feed.
A video stream management system, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to detect a guest presence;
- a video stream controller configured to:
- live render video based on the detected guest presence to generate a primary video stream;
- embed a pixel pattern in the primary video stream to generate a video stream;
- and
- a display communicatively coupled to the video stream controller and configured to:
- receive the video stream;
- display the video stream to generate displayed images;
- monitor the displayed images on the display to identify an error based on a comparison of the displayed images and the pixel pattern;
- and
- generate an error signal based on identifying the error.
