  • Patent number: 10462536
    Abstract: A system for low-latency detection of known audio-video content in multiple audio-video streams, received over a transport multiplex wherein multiple advertisements of different durations are being transmitted over a network. The system includes an ingest module, repositories of content assets, repositories of advertisement assets, a playout server, and network streams. A Watermarking and Fingerprinting (WMFP) module receives multiple advertisements A having audio-video streams, from a Master AV Database, placing an audio watermark on the incoming streams and extracting a high-confidence fingerprint (signature) from each of the watermarked assets A?. Communicating fingerprint signatures and replacement rules to one or more receivers over the Internet. One or more receivers at different locations actively replace detected advertisements having AV content, using a signature detector, with local content assets.

  • Publication number: 20140150021
    Abstract: System and method is proposed to extract audio-video fingerprint and embed an audio-video watermark onto a content asset that is transmitted as part of network content. It is proposed to identify uniquely the specific content to be replaced and the point of local content insertion by looking for the embedded audio-video watermark and match the audio-video fingerprint. The identified point of insertion enables seamless local content insertion.

  • Patent number: 8516119
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described for determining attributes identifying media items from other media items. A first video sequence of a first media item is received from a media source, the video sequence including one or more images having first banner information embedded therein. The attributes of the first media item are determined. The determined attributes of the first media item can then be stored or otherwise processed as desired.

  • Patent number: 8060609
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described for determining attributes identifying media items from other media items. A first video sequence of a first media item is received from a media source, the video sequence including one or more images having first banner information embedded therein. The attributes of the first media item are determined based on at least the first banner information extracted from the first video sequence. The determined attributes of the first media item can then be stored or otherwise processed as desired.

  • Publication number: 20110032986
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically controlling the resolution of video content that is streaming over a data connection. Video content frames are generated that each have a predetermined frame resolution and comprise video data encoded at an encoding resolution. The video content frames are transmitted over a network, and one or more conditions of the network are sensed. The encoding resolution of the video data is selectively adjusted in each video content frame in response to the one or more sensed network conditions.
