A control strategy is provided for dynamically encoding multiple streams of video data in parallel for multiplexing onto a constant bit rate channel. The control strategy is a single pass strategy which allows individual encode bit rates to be dynamically adjusted for each video data stream based on part in relative complexity of the multiple streams of video data, as well as fullness of compressed video data buffers and a channel buffer coupled between the encoders and the constant bit rate channel. The control strategy includes encoding the multiple streams of video frames in parallel, and dynamically adapting encoding of at least one stream of the video frames based on relative complexity of the video frames. The bit rate for each stream of video frames is only changed at GOP boundaries, or if a scene change occurs. The calculated bit rate is preferably further modified based upon buffer fullness.

A mounting bracket for adjustably supporting an object about one or more axes. The bracket may include a support member that is pivotally attached to a mounting member such that the support member may be selectively pivoted about a first pivot axis relative to the mounting member and thereafter releasably locked in that position. Adjustment components may be provided to facilitate controlled pivotal travel of the support member about the first pivot axis and which non-movably retains the support member in a desired position as the locking members are locked. The bracket may further comprise an antenna mast support member that is pivotally attached to the support member for selective pivotal travel about a second pivot axis relative to the support member and thereafter releasably locked in position. Additional adjustment components may be provided to facilitate the controlled pivotal travel of the antenna mast support member about the second pivot axis and which non-movably retains the antenna mast support member in a desired position as it is locked in that position.

The comb like electrodes to drive the orientation of the liquid crystal through the lateral electric field in the IPS (In plane Switching) LCD panel has a construction that the comb like electrodes are optically reflective, are projections in the gap area and have curved surfaces in the cross section of the electors.

An apparatus for and a method of adaptive motion compensated de-interlacing of video data, in which one of a spatio-temporal method and a motion compensation method is adaptively selected according to a motion type. Motion vectors of a video field to be interpolated and an accuracy of the motion vectors are estimated using adjacent fields. An existence or non-existence of global motion is determined by analyzing the estimated motion vectors. Pixels generated according to a spatio-temporal interpolation method or pixels generated according to a motion compensated interpolation method are selected based on the accuracy of the estimated motion vectors and the existence or non-existence of global motion.
