Abstract: A device, system, and method perform an automatic change over for transport streams. The method is performed at an output server. The method includes selecting a first transport stream. The method includes generating a first portion of an output based on the first transport stream. The method includes selecting a second transport stream. The method includes determining a frametime to synchronize first packets of the first transport stream to second packets of the second transport stream. The frametime is based on a start time of a content item included in the first transport stream and the second transport stream and a completed progression of the content item using the first transport stream. The method includes determining a location in the second transport stream based on the frametime. The method includes generating a second portion of the output based on the second transport stream starting at the location.

Abstract: An operations center that performs a method that includes receiving a live content feed of a live event, inserting a time indication in the live content feed to generate a marked feed, the time indication indicative of a receive time that the live content feed is received at the operations center, encoding the marked feed to generate an Internet Protocol (IP) feed, the IP feed being exchanged through the operations center, determining a read time during a skip offset process corresponding to when the time indication is identified in the skip offset process, determining a propagation delay based on the read time and the receive time and generating a broadcast output that transitions, based on the propagation delay, from one of (i) the live event to recorded content or (ii) recorded content to the live event.
