  • System and method for locating a boundary point within adaptive bitrate conditioned content
    Patent number: 9407678
    Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes determining an occurrence of an exception to a predetermined cadence associated with an input stream of a profile, determining a shifted cadence based, at least in part, on the exception, receiving an indication of a key frame in the profile, determining that the key frame aligns with the shifted cadence, designating the key frame as a boundary point based, at least in part, on the shifted cadence, and communicating the boundary point.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 2, 2016
    Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.
    Inventors: Eric Colin Friedrich, Carol Etta Iturralde, Scott C. Labrozzi, Anne K. McCormick, Matthew Francis Caulfield
  • Producing equivalent content across encapsulators in a network environment
    Patent number: 9294530
    Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes receiving first synchronization information associated with a first encapsulated output, receiving second synchronization information associated with a second encapsulated output, and determining whether the first encapsulated output and the second encapsulated output are in synchronization based upon the first synchronization information and the second synchronization information. The method may further include, when the first encapsulated output and the second encapsulated output are determined to out of synchronization, generating corrected synchronization information, and sending the corrected synchronization information to an encapsulator generating at least one of the first encapsulated output and the second encapsulated output.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATING A BOUNDARY POINT WITHIN ADAPTIVE BITRATE CONDITIONED CONTENT
    Publication number: 20150113173
    Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes determining an occurrence of an exception to a predetermined cadence associated with an input stream of a profile; determining a shifted cadence based, at least in part, on the exception; receiving an indication of a key frame in the profile; determining that the key frame aligns with the shifted cadence; designating the key frame as a boundary point based, at least in part, on the shifted cadence; and communicating the boundary point.

  • PRODUCING EQUIVALENT CONTENT ACROSS ENCAPSULATORS IN A NETWORK ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20140351455
    Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes receiving first synchronization information associated with a first encapsulated output, receiving second synchronization information associated with a second encapsulated output, and determining whether the first encapsulated output and the second encapsulated output are in synchronization based upon the first synchronization information and the second synchronization information. The method may further include, when the first encapsulated output and the second encapsulated output are determined to out of synchronization, generating corrected synchronization information, and sending the corrected synchronization information to an encapsulator generating at least one of the first encapsulated output and the second encapsulated output.
