Abstract

A quick-change accessory mount for a portable media encoder includes a substantially rigid frame having an upper surface and a lower surface. The frame is adapted for releaseable connection to a portable media encoder housing. A circuitry holder supports circuitry thereupon, the circuitry holder being affixed to the frame and having an upper portion extending above the upper surface of the frame and a lower portion extending below the lower surface of the frame. A substantially non-rigid cover is attached around the periphery of the frame and forms an enclosure for holding accessory devices mounted on the upper surface of the frame. A plurality of upper connectors operably interconnect via the circuitry to a plurality of lower connectors. The upper connectors are disposed on the upper portion of the circuitry holder and are operably accessible from within the enclosure. The lower connectors are disposed on the lower portion of the circuitry holder and are operably connectable to a video input port, audio input port, and digital output port on the portable media encoder housing when the portable media encoder housing is connected to the frame. Accessories mounted within the enclosure are operably connectable to the portable media encoder when the frame is connected to the encoder housing.
