Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for automatically generating a recorded version of a live video program. A live program extraction application executing on a live program extraction system receives an automation list associated with the live video program from a traffic and automation system and an integration message associated with the live video program from an integration control system. The live program extraction application generates a first data entry that includes a timecode based on at least one of the automation list and the integration message. The live program extraction application stores the first data entry into a data record associated with the live video program. The live program extraction application transmits the data record to a broadcast system. The broadcast system automatically replaces a portion of the recorded version of the live video program based on the timecode included in the first data entry.

Techniques for automated data record generation from live programs

Systems and methods to provide video signals and control signals over an internet protocol (IP) communications network are presented herein. Video signals and control signals may be obtained via an IP communications network. The control signals may be associated with the video signals using synchronization source identifiers as described in IETF RFC 3550.

Systems and methods to provide video and control signals over an internet protocol communications network

There is provided a method and system for generating and distributing an encoded content transport stream. The method comprises obtaining metadata and at least one unique identifier that identifies content elements, generating a recipient specific list using the metadata and at least one of the unique identifiers, creating a content transport stream using the recipient specific list including the metadata and the identified content elements, encoding the content transport stream to generate the encoded content transport stream, and distributing the encoded content transport stream through at least one network path. The metadata may include destination points and priority information of the encoded content transport stream, which may take the form of sections of television programming or block of commercial advertisements.

Intelligent generation and distribution of an encoded content transport stream according to metadata

There is provided a video playback system comprising a plurality of video playback channels, a memory, and a processor configured to transmit a first video content over a first playback channel, store a first video transmission being transmitted over the first video playback channel in the memory, start transmitting, at a second time, the first video transmission from the memory over a second playback channel, receive an update segment for replacing a first segment of the first video transmission and a location of the first segment in the first video transmission, detect the location of the first segment in the first video transmission, transmit the update segment in place of the first segment over the second video playback channel, revert to transmitting the first video transmission over the second video playback channel, and store a second video transmission being transmitted over the second video playback channel in the memory.

Multi-channel video playback system with variable time delay

There is provided a system and method of recipient specific lists for distribution of media content. The method comprises obtaining at least one unique identifier (UID), wherein the at least one UID identifies a content, and wherein the at least one UID identifies a recipient location and presentation data, generating a recipient specific list (RSL) using the at least one UID, wherein the RSL includes at least one content identifier, and wherein the RSL includes at least one recipient identifier, and transmitting the RSL to an encoded content transport stream creator for creation of an encoded content transport stream. The at least one recipient identifier may correspond to a broadcast affiliate television recipient or a multichannel video programming distributor. Additionally, the RSL may contain primary content, such as television programs, movies, commercials, and promotional programming, as well as secondary content, such as content overlays, program schedules, and triggers.
