A method and device for inserting data onto one or more lines of one or more vertical blanking intervals of a television video signal, and in particular a television signal conforming to the NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) format.

Vertical blanking insertion device

A flexible and configurable system for distributing media (or programming) to one or more distribution networks. The system includes a media server, at least one server interface unit, a first communications path coupling the media server and a server interface unit, distribution network interface unit(s), and a second communications path coupling a server interface unit and the distribution network interface unit(s). The media server stores files of encoded (e.g., compressed) media data and files of scheduling information. Each of the distribution network interface unit(s) conditions received media data for transmission over the distribution network(s) which may be analog and/or digital distribution networks.

Flexible, configurable, hierarchical system for distributing programming

A method and device for preprocessing streams of encoded data (e.g. compressed in accordance with an MPEG standard) to permit a decoder to decode the streams, back-to-back (i.e., one stream immediately following another), without being reset and without producing video artifacts. The present invention includes verifying that a multiplexed stream complies with an encoding standard and preprocessing packets of the packetized encoded video sequence such that no video artifacts are produced when a video decoder decodes an adjacent encoded video sequence.
