Abstract
There is provided an event tag insertion system. The system includes a memory and a processor configured to receive a media content, receive an input from an event indicator device, the input corresponding to an event in the media content, generate an event tag, the event tag including the input from the event indicator device and a position of the event in the media content, and insert the event tag as metadata into the media content.
Background
BACKGROUND(1) Television and radio broadcasters provide many live programming events, such as concerts, sports events and speeches. Such live programming events include a slight delay to permit real-time editing of a live broadcast to eliminate the transmission of offensive content in compliance with FCC (Federal Communications Commission) regulations. The real-time editing may include temporarily interrupting the audio or visual portion of the broadcast to eliminate the transmission of offensive content. Conventionally, a person performs these edits manually from a remote location, e.g. at the location of live performance, and a log of the edits is manually recorded. However, when an interruption in the live performance occurs due to the edits by the person at the remote location, the broadcast network personnel are not able to determine whether the interruption in the broadcast is a result of a malfunction in transmission, or if it is a result of the content edit. Even more, manually maintained logs are susceptible to human mistakes and omissions, and are not reliable for the identification of such edits.SUMMARY(2) The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for creating and inserting event tags into media content, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.
Claims
1. A system comprising: a memory; a processor configured to: receive a live video of a performance including an audio portion, a video portion and an ancillary (ANC) data portion; receive an input from an event indicator device, the input indicating an occurrence of an edit corresponding to an event in the live video, wherein the event is an offensive content impermissible for public broadcast, wherein the edit modifies the live video broadcast and includes one or more of suppressing the audio portion, pixelating the video portion, and blacking out the live video; generate an event tag based on the edit, the event tag including the input from the event indicator device and a position of the event in the live video; insert the event tag as metadata into the live video to generate an edited live video; transmit the edited live video including the edit and further including the event tag to a broadcast network; publicly broadcast, by the broadcast network, the performance using the edited live video including the edit being the one or more of suppressing the audio portion, pixelating the video portion, and blacking out the live video; record the edited live video including the edit and further including the event tag; replace, in response to detecting the event tag in the recorded edited live video, the edit with an alternate content to generate an edited recorded video; and publicly re-broadcast, by the broadcast network, the performance using the edited recorded video including the alternate content.
8. A method, for use by an event tag insertion system having a memory and a processor, of inserting an event tag in a live video, the method comprising: receiving, using the processor, the live video of a performance including an audio portion, a video portion and an ancillary (ANC) data portion; receiving, using the processor, an input from an event indicator device, the input indicating an occurrence of an edit corresponding to an event in the live video, wherein the event is an offensive content impermissible for public broadcast, wherein the edit modifies the live video broadcast and includes one or more of suppressing the audio portion, pixelating the video portion, and blacking out the live video; generating, using the processor, an event tag based on the edit, the event tag including the input from the event indicator device and a position of the event in the live video; inserting, using the processor, the event tag as metadata into the live video to generate an edited live video; transmitting the edited live video including the edit and further including the event tag to a broadcast network; publicly broadcasting, by the broadcast network, the performance using the edited live video including the edit being the one or more of suppressing the audio portion, pixelating the video portion, and blacking out the live video; recording the edited live video including the edit and further including the event tag; replacing, in response to detecting the event tag in the recorded edited live video, the edit with an alternate content to generate an edited recorded video; and publicly re-broadcasting, by the broadcast network, the performance using the edited recorded video including the alternate content.
