Claim Text:
1. A method of encoding and decoding a plurality of wide-area surveillance area-of-interest video codestreams, the method comprises: generating, by a computer server, a plurality of video codestreams from a same plurality of large format images that are captured sequentially in time, each of the plurality of large format images is at least 10,000 pixels wide by 9,600 pixels tall, each video codestream comprising a plurality of areas-of-interest from the same plurality of large format images, each area-of-interest in the plurality of areas-of-interest of each video codestream being selected from a different image in the plurality of large format images, each video codestream being generated at a selected frame rate, and a plurality of areas-of-interest of a first video codestream in the plurality of video codestreams are located at a first location in the respective plurality of large format images and a plurality of areas-of-interest of a second video codestream in the plurality of video codestreams are located at a second location different from the first location in the respective plurality of large format images; combining, by a multiplexer in communication with the computer server, the plurality of video codestreams into a combined video codestream, the combined video codestream having a frame rate that is substantially equal to a sum of frame rates of the plurality of video codestreams; controlling the frame rate of each video codestream such that the frame rate of the combined video codestream is substantially equal to an allowed rate of bandwidth of a transmission link; transmitting the combined video codestream from a first location to a second remote location via the transmission link; and demultiplexing the combined video codestream at the second location to regenerate the plurality of video codestreams.
