  • Publication number: 20240137597
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for systems and methods that can be used to operate a media transmission network. In at least one embodiment, the media transmission network comprises a plurality of media processing devices configured to receive and process media streams based on control data. The media transmission network also comprises a controller coupled to the plurality of media processing devices and configured to generate a control signal for some or all of the media processing devices in the network. The controller is configured to determine the timing at which to transmit the control signal to a respective media processing device in order for the instructions in the control signal to be executed at the same time as the media data is received. The controller determines the transmission timing of each control signal by determining the latencies and delays of the network and the devices, such as, for example, network latency, processing delay, and/or control delay.

  • Publication number: 20240112704
    Abstract: The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for generating a derived media clip corresponding to a live event. In particular, the system comprises a processor configured to receive a plurality of content streams corresponding to the live event, each content stream corresponding to a content source. The processor is further configured to generate an annotated timeline for one or more of the plurality of content streams and receive a first user input requesting the derived media clip. The processor is then configured to generate the derived media clip based on the user input and the annotated timeline.

  • Publication number: 20220116667
    Abstract: Methods and system for managing media clips over a data network. Media streams may be received over a data network and stored by a storage server. Metadata regarding the media streams may be generated and stored at a metadata server. A control station can retrieve media frames originating in the stored media streams from the storage server, based on metadata. Media frames from multiple media streams can be retrieved and displayed in synchronization, based on respective timecodes.
