Abstract: A collaboration server hosts software for collaborative composition and editing of a media project with project collaborators using different media editing applications each having their own native data format. Project collaborators, such as video editors, sound editors, effects and graphics artists, and producers access a shared project workspace which contains a snapshot of the current state of the media project in a canonical format, as well as source media files, native application metadata, and change notes. Each editing application includes a module enabling it to read the canonical snapshot representation, and also to flatten its native data model representation into the canonical representation for writing to the shared project workspace. A collaboration server hosts the shared project space, and includes a workflow manager for issuing change notifications and handling versions, and an application server for the shared project user interface.

Abstract: The experience of a consumer of a primary video or audio program is enriched by providing secondary and time relevant content to a secondary device, such as a laptop computer, tablet, or smart phone. Transmissions of the primary video or audio are augmented by secondary data providing links to the secondary content. The secondary data also contains data identifying the corresponding primary program and the temporal location within the primary program at which the secondary content is to be offered. Upon receipt and display of a pre-produced primary program, a device driving the primary program output device, such as a set-top-box driving a television, transmits the secondary data over a local network to the secondary device, which displays links to the secondary data, and enables the consumer to request the corresponding secondary content for display on the secondary device.
