  • Patent number: 9596283
    Abstract: Content may be received at an edge location in one format, but delivered to a terminal on an access network in another format. The received content may be transcoded at the edge location. The transcoded content may be stored, or immediately delivered. The transcoded content may be fragmented prior to storage. Multiple copies of the transcoded content may be maintained in multiple formats. These formats may be aligned with one another such that delivery of the content can include delivering portions of the content in one format and other portions of the content in another format.

  • Publication number: 20130050573
    Abstract: A method and system for viewing video content is described. In one aspect a data stream may be received having at least two signals of uncorrelated two dimensional (2D) video content. For a first frame of video content, a first video image of the 2D video content of a first signal may be generated. For a second frame of video content, a second video image of the 2D video content of a second signal may be generated and the generated video image may be outputted to a display device.
