Abstract
A method of multi-source video navigation, comprising: receiving (402) an image sequence, each image of said sequence comprising a plurality of image parts (121, 122, 123, 24, 125, 126), the image parts of said plurality comprising image data arising from synchronized images of respective video streams, each video stream arising from a corresponding source, receiving (414) a selection parameter value (video_ch) arising from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and instructing (408) the displaying of the at least one image part, from among the image parts of this plurality, corresponding to the value of the selection parameter received.

A method for navigating multisource video, the method comprising:
- receiving by a user terminal a sequence of images, each image of the sequence of images comprising a plurality of image portions, the plurality of image portions comprising image data originating from synchronized images of a plurality of respective video streams, each respective video stream of the plurality of respective video streams originating from a corresponding source;
- receiving by the user terminal a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, the value corresponding to at least one respective video stream of the plurality of respective video streams;
- commanding video display by a video player of the user terminal of at least one image portion of the plurality of image portions corresponding to the received choice parameter value;
- and
- commanding display by the user terminal of an additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set corresponding to a respective video stream of the plurality of respective video streams,
- wherein the commanding the display of the additional image portion comprises:
- capturing at least one image portion of a current image of the received sequence of images, said current image corresponding to a time of the at least one image portion that is being video displayed;
- commanding image display of a stationary image originating from the captured image portion;
- and
- repeatedly and continuously updating, while and as long as the video display of the at least one image portion occurs, the displayed stationary image with stationary images originating from captured portions of subsequent images of the received sequence of images, at a rate different from a refreshment rate of the video display in order to create the illusion of a video display of the displayed images in the additional image portion without using a second video player, each subsequent stationary image having at least one portion that is captured having a time corresponding to the time of the at least one image portion that is being video displayed.
