  • System and method for providing a private mosaic
    Patent number: 10148991
    Abstract: A method implemented on a broadcast headend system for providing video data for a privately defined channel selection mosaic includes defining at least one base layer channel from among a group of video channels, where the group of video channels includes candidate channels for selection as private mosaic preview channels, defining at least one other channel from among the group as an enhanced layer channel, defining at least one data block in at least one depending frame of the at least one enhanced layer channel as depending on at least one similar data block in at least one base frame of the base layer channel, encoding broadcast data from the group of video channels as an encoded group of video channels, where the at least one depending block is encoded as a function of the at least one similar data block, and transmitting the encoded group of video channels to at least one private mosaic user for assembly of the privately defined channel selection mosaic.
