Storage of tags in video for carriage in real-time

There is provided a system and method for storing tags in video for carriage in real-time. The system comprising a content creator and a television network, the content creating configured to retrieve a video from a memory for delivery to the television network, generate an ID3 tag for the video, the ID3 tag including information about the video, insert the ID3 tag into a vertical ancillary data (VANC) space of the video, and transmit the video including the ID3 tag to the television network. The television network configured to receive the video including the ID3 tag from the content creator and transmit the video including the ID3 tag to a display device.

BACKGROUND(1) Metadata containers are often used to provide information about the files they represent, such as audio or video files. For example, ID3 Tags allow information such as the title, artist, album, track number, and other information about the file to be stored within the file itself. However, problems can occur with the ID3 Tags when the files are streamed in baseband for, for example, not as a compressed stream. For instance, when files are streamed in baseband form, the ID3 Tags are lost.(2) Methods have been developed to try and preserve the ID3 Tags in files that are streamed in baseband form. For example, one method tries to preserve the ID3 tags using watermarking. However, ID3 Tags are not viable for watermarking, since ID3 Tags are often long, such as 128 bytes or 227 bytes.SUMMARY(3) The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for the storing of tags in video for carriage in real-time, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.
