Searching TV program highlight scenes and playing back short summaries.
Overview
We have developed "highlight playback technology" which detects the most exciting highlights of sports programs and automatically plays back a summary. The large-capacity hard disk enables long recording and playback of sports coverage summaries as and when you choose.
Technology Point
Mitsubishi Electric has developed the world's first "highlight playback technology" which automatically detects the most exciting highlights of sports programs and automatically plays back a recorded summary.
Audio analysis focuses on elements such as the announcer's voice and audience's cheering, and the exciting parts are displayed as a graph. Audio analysis enables high precision detection even if the type of sport, country and spoken language are different.
By looking at the graph showing the highlights, it is possible to choose the length of the summary. For example, 2 hours of soccer coverage could be summarized into just five minutes of goal action.
Using the manual skip function, you can retrieve the highlight scenes you want to watch. So you can jump right to that home run or goal quickly and easily.
