  • DISTRIBUTION NETWORK AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20090064249
    Abstract: There is disclosed a distribution network and method. This is particularly advantageous because the network allows highlight clips to be generated and distributed quickly. Additionally, the highlights are more consistent because the user selects the event (from which the highlight is formed) from a list of possible event selections. This also has the advantage that there is the reduced likelihood of the individual generating the events missing any other incidents requiring highlighting.
