The present invention provides a system and methods for producing multiple encoded representations of a video input sequence. The multiple representations produced each contain identified synchronization frames that allow a server and a client to switch between streamed representations in real time without interruption. Synchronization frames are frames of encoded video that can be independently decoded. A representation can thus be decoded starting at a synchronization frame. Each synchronization frame in one representation has a corresponding synchronization frame at a substantially similar temporal location in any other generated representation of the same video input sequence. The temporal co-location of synchronization frames in all representations facilitates the dynamic switching between representations during the streaming process. The present invention also provides a video encoder application that shares data during the encoding of multiple representations of a video input sequence by reusing data calculated in the encoding of one representation to encode other representations. The application can also generate the multiple encoded representations simultaneously.

Compared with the prior method that uses a concave lens or a convex lens to focus lights and then reduce into a panoramic video, the invention has the advantages of low cost, no picture distortion, and suitability for the shooting during movement.

A method for coexistence of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) receiver (117) such as a WiMAX receiver with a synchronous frame-based transmitter (115) such as a Bluetooth transmitter within a mobile station (110) receives an estimated media access protocol (MAP′) signal indicating when a MAP message is expected to be received by the OFDMA receiver (117) and uses it at a Bluetooth shutdown signal (190) at least when a MAP message is expected to be received. The MAP′ signal can be taken directly from the ODFMA transceiver (117) or it may be produced through analysis of a receiver-enable (RXE) signal that includes not only MAP symbols but also downlink data symbols. The RXE signal can be analyzed using interrupt-and-timer, Fast Fourier Transform, covariance, and / or delay-locked loop techniques to extract historical MAP symbol information and generate expected MAP symbol information. Shutting down a Bluetooth transmitter during expected MAP message receipt permits the OFDMA receiver to maintain synchronicity with an access point while not requiring the Bluetooth transmitter to shut down every time the OFDMA receiver expects to receive an OFDMA symbol.

Communication, using a synchronous protocol, over a synchronous communications link, between synchronous application programs executed on a terminal (i.e., personal computer, PC) with an asynchronous byte-oriented interface and a PC with a synchronous frame orientated interface is made possible by enhancing the PC with the asynchronous byte-oriented interface with a device which modifies the data to be transmitted by inserting framing flags and transparency characters before the data passes through the COMM port (asynchronous byte-oriented interface) and extracting the transparency characters after the data exits the COMM port. As a consequence, the PC with the frame-oriented interface does not have to be modified.
