Abstract: A system and method for providing integrated advertising in a television distribution network is disclosed. The system comprises a storage module, a processor in communication with the storage module and a chroma-keying module. The storage module stores one television program and one image to be integrated with the television program. The processor divides a background of the television program into a plurality of frames. The processor identifies the background colour of each spatial frame. The chroma-keying module compares the background colour of each frame with a pre-selected chroma range for integrating the image into detected frame, when the background colour of the frame matches with one key-colour in the pre-selected chroma range. The spatial frame is replaced with a preset advertisement based on the type, genre and time of the telecast program on a plurality of channels.

Abstract: A system for customizing display of a plurality of advertisements on a display terminal through a television distribution network comprises a scheduling module, a media grid in communication with the scheduling module, a head-end in communication with the media grid, and a set-top box in communication with the head-end. The scheduling module schedules a plurality of time slots for airing the advertisements on a default power-up channel. The media grid stores scheduling information of the advertisements which are to be aired at the respective time slots allocated by the scheduling module. The head-end broadcasts the advertisements scheduled for a particular time slot onto a default power-up channel. The set-top box displays the default channel on the display device during a power-up of the set-top box.
