Abstract:
Vocal audio of a user together with performance synchronized video is captured and coordinated with audiovisual contributions of other users to form composite duet-style or glee club-style or window-paned music video-style audiovisual performances. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured (together with performance synchronized video) on mobile devices, television-type display and/or set-top box equipment in the context of karaoke-style presentations of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Contributions of multiple vocalists are coordinated and mixed in a manner that selects for presentation, at any given time along a given performance timeline, performance synchronized video of one or more of the contributors. Selections are in accord with a visual progression that codes a sequence of visual layouts in correspondence with other coded aspects of a performance score such as pitch tracks, backing audio, lyrics, sections and/or vocal parts.

Claim (Index 34):
A system for preparing a coordinated audiovisual work from geographically distributed performer contributions, the system comprising:\n a plurality of network-connected audiovisual capture devices, each configured to supply a respective computer readable audiovisual encoding of a performance captured in temporal correspondence with an audible rendering of a seed, wherein, for at least a second one of the audiovisual capture devices, the seed includes a first computer readable encoding of first performer vocals and temporally synchronized video captured at a first one of the audiovisual capture devices, and wherein the second one of the audiovisual capture devices is configured to capture, in temporal correspondence with an audible rendering of the seed, a second computer readable encoding of an audiovisual performance including second performer vocals and temporally synchronized video; and a mixer configured (i) to receive at least the respective first and second encodings of performer vocals and temporally synchronized video and (ii) to, based on a computer readable encoding of a visual progression that encodes; in temporal correspondence with the seed, a succession of templated screen layouts each specifying a number and arrangement of visual cells in which respective of the videos are visually renderable, associate individual ones of the performer contributions, including the respective encodings of performer vocals and temporally synchronized videos, to respective ones of the visual cells of the coordinated audiovisual work.
