  • Patent number: 10368075
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a media stream and generating first and second encoded versions of the media stream, the first encoded version associated with a first key frame interval and the second encoded version associated with a second key frame interval greater than the first key frame interval. The method also includes receiving, from a destination device, a request to generate a media clip, the request identifying a start point. The method further includes generating the media clip based on first sequence of frames of the first encoded version and second sequence of frames of the second encoded version. The first sequence begins at a first frame corresponding to the start point and ends at a second frame corresponding to a transition point. The second sequence begins at a third frame following the transition point and ends at a fourth frame corresponding to a stop point.

  • Patent number: 10218981
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a media stream and generating first and second encodings of the media stream, the first encoding associated with a first key frame interval and the second encoding associated with a second key frame interval greater than the first key frame interval. The method also includes receiving, from a destination device, a request to generate a media clip, the request identifying a start point. The method further includes generating the media clip based on first sequence of frames of the first encoding and second sequence of frames of the second encoding. The first sequence begins at a first frame corresponding to the start point and ends at a second frame corresponding to a transition point. The second sequence begins at a third frame following the transition point and ends at a fourth frame corresponding to a stop point.
