Self-data-generating storage system and method for use therewith
A self-data-generating storage system and method for use therewith are provided. In one embodiment, a controller of the storage system is configured to receive a single video frame of video footage from a host; generate a plurality of video frames from an interpolation of the single video frame; and store the single video frame and the generated plurality of video frames in the memory. Other embodiments are provided.
1. A storage system comprising:
a memory; and
a controller configured to:
receive a single video frame of video footage from a host;
create an instantaneously decodable frame from the single video frame;
generate a plurality of video frames from an interpolation of the instantaneously decodable frame;
store the single video frame, the instantaneously decodable frame, and the generated plurality of video frames as a video stream in the memory, wherein the video stream is not backwards compatible with other hosts; and
modify the stream to make the stream backwards compatible with the other hosts.
2. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to modify the stream by performing video encoding on the stream.
3. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to modify the stream by adding a time stamp to the stream.
4. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of video frames comprises a group of pictures.
5. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to generate the plurality of video frames in response to a request to read the single video frame.
6. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the memory comprises a three-dimensional memory.
7. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to modify the stream by placing the stream in a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) format.
8. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to modify the stream by adding a program association table (PAT) to the stream.
9. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to modify the stream by adding a program mapping table (PMT) to the stream.
10. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive a full video stream from the host.
11. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the video footage comprises a surveillance video.
12. A method comprising:
performing the following in a storage system comprising a memory:
receiving a single video frame of video footage from a host;
creating an instantaneously decodable frame from the single video frame;
generating a plurality of video frames from an interpolation of the instanteously decodable frame;
storing the single video frame, the instantaneously decodable frame, and the generated plurality of video frames as a video stream in the memory, wherein the video stream is not backwards compatible with other hosts; and
modifying the stream to make the stream backwards compatible with the other hosts.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving a full video stream from the host.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the full video stream comprises a variable bit rate.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the full video stream comprises a constant bit rate.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the single video frame meets a quality of service requirement.
17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the video footage comprises a surveillance video.
18. The method of claim 12 , wherein modifying the stream comprises performing video encoding on the stream.
19. The method of claim 12 , wherein modifying the stream comprises adding a time stamp to the stream.
20. A storage system comprising:
a memory;
means for receiving a single video reference frame from a host;
means for creating an instantaneously decodable frame from the single video reference frame;
means for generating a group of pictures from an interpolation of the instantaneously decodable frame; and
means for storing the single video reference frame, the instantaneously decodable frame, and the generated group of pictures as a video stream in the memory, wherein the video stream is not backwards compatible with other hosts; and
means for modifying the stream to make the stream backwards compatible with the other hosts.
