  • Patent number: 11570490
    Abstract: A method includes: receiving a script configured to modify the audio-video file; calculating a performance metric based on execution of the script on a set of test files; classifying the script as performant based on the performance metric; defining a metadata store associated with the script and the audio-video file; receiving a playback request specifying a rendition of the audio-video file from a computational device; in response to receiving the playback request: accessing a set of data inputs from the metadata store; executing the script on a frame of the audio-video file based on the set of data inputs to generate a modified frame of the audio-video file; transcoding the modified frame of the audio-video file into the rendition to generate an output frame of the audio-video file; and transmitting the output frame of the audio-video file to the computational device for playback at the computational device.

  • Patent number: 11570497
    Abstract: A video monitoring system can include multiple collectors to receive video beacon data from multiple video monitoring interface modules. At least one beacon stream is connected to receive data from multiple collectors. A processing module receives the beacon stream and provides a real-time event stream used for real-time data analysis and a video view stream used for long-term data analysis.

  • Patent number: 11343492
    Abstract: A method including: extracting a set of video features representing properties of a video segment; generating a set of bitrate-resolution pairs based on the set of video features, each bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs defining a bitrate and defining a resolution estimated to maximize a quality score characterizing the video segment encoded at the bitrate; accessing a distribution of audience bandwidths; selecting a top bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs; selecting a bottom bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs; selecting a subset of bitrate-resolution pairs in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs based on the distribution of audience bandwidths, the subset of bitrate-resolution pairs defining bitrates less than the top bitrate and greater than the bottom bitrate; and generating an encoding ladder for the video segment comprising the top bitrate-resolution pair, the bottom bitrate-resolution pair, and the subset of bitrate-resolu
