We describe an implementation of our previously developed highlight scene detection and video summarization system on a PVR-enabled high definition television system. The implementation poses significant challenges such as consuming minimal computational resources so as to avoid disrupting any of the existing functionalities. The target platform poses challenges such as the absence of a DSP which differ significantly from our previous PVR platform. Our implementation successfully addresses the aforementioned challenges by adapting techniques such as limited buffering and error concealment for dropped frames to the target platform.
