Systems and methods for determining and communicating correction information for video images

A method for providing, to a remote location, correction information for the display of a video content file on at least two different display types, comprising:

• a) generating first correction information for correcting at least one video sequence within a video content file for a first of the at least two different display types;
• b) storing, on a portable media storage device, the first correction information;
• c) generating different correction information for correcting said at least one video sequence for a second display type different from the first display type;
• d) determining and storing, on said portable media storage device, differences between the first correction information and the different correction information;
• and
• e) repeating c)-d) for each of said at least two different display types;
• f) storing, on said portable media storage device, said video content file including said at least one video sequence;
• and
• g) providing said portable media storage device to said remote location for the display of said video content file, wherein prior to the subsequent display of said video content file, said at least one video sequence is corrected using a combination of said first correction information and respective different correction information, if any, related to a particular different one of said at least two different display types on which said video content file is to be displayed.

A system for determining correction information for the display of at least one video sequence within a video content file on at least two different display types, comprising:

• at least two displays corresponding to the two different display types for displaying said video content file;
• and
• a corrector module, in conjunction with inputs from a user, adapted to perform:
• a) generating first correction information for correcting at least one video sequence within a video content file for a first of the at least two different display types;
• b) storing the first correction information;
• c) generating different correction information for correcting said at least one video sequence for a second display type different from the first display type;
• d) determining and storing differences between the first correction information and the different correction information;
• and
• e) repeating c)-d) for each of said at least two different display types.

A method for providing a corrected video sequence to any of a plurality of display types, comprising:

• maintaining an original video sequence in its original form and separately storing correction information associated with the original video sequence;
• translating the original video sequence and the correction information into a corrected video sequence;
• and
• translating the corrected video sequence into any of a plurality of display types by identifying a display type for rendering the corrected video sequence and selecting a display file which adjusts the corrected video sequence for that display type.

A method for determining color correction information for different display types, comprising:

• a) determining first correction information for color correcting at least one video sequence within a video content file;
• b) storing the first correction information;
• c) determining respective correction information for color correcting said at least one video sequence for display on a specific one of said different display types;
• d) determining and storing differences between the first correction information and the respective correction information determined for the specific display type;
• and
• e) repeating c)-d) for a different display type.
