Abstract

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for content aggregation and distribution for real-time and non-real-time production of video content items may be realized by receiving, at a first device from a second device, an annotated video stream that includes principal material in a principal spectrum (which is in-band for output on a display device) and supplemental material in a supplemental spectrum (which is out-of-band for the display device) and in response to receiving, from the downstream device, an indication that the principal material is of secondary interest and that the supplemental material is of primary interest: repackaging the annotated video stream to include the supplemental material in the principal spectrum via insertion, substitution, or splicing. The content may be repackaged in real-time with linear delivery, and in non-real-time with on-demand delivery, and various entities may add content for later inclusion, and adjust which content is transmitted to downstream entities.

Background

BACKGROUND

Content providers have struggled in providing consumers with video content that is digestible in a variety of formats and is targeted to a local audience, but is linked to the content provider. As part of providing content in traditional formats, such as in a television news broadcast, much of the content created may be cut in editing; leaving large portions of related content available for use that are differentiable from those presented in the initial provision of content that may be attractive for use in alternative formats.SUMMARY

The present disclosure describes, in one embodiment, a method for content aggregation and distribution for real-time and non-real-time production of video content items comprising: receiving, at a first device from a second device, an annotated video stream that includes a principal material in a principal spectrum that is in-band for a display device and a supplemental material in a supplemental spectrum that is out-of-band for the display device; and in response to receiving, from the first device, an indication that the principal material is secondary content and that the supplemental material is primary content: repackaging the annotated video stream to include the supplemental material in the principal spectrum.

In another embodiment of the invention described herein, a non-transitory computer readable medium is provided that includes instructions that are executable by a processor to perform an operation for co

Claims

1. A method, comprising: receiving, at a first device from a second device, an annotated video stream that includes a principal material in a principal spectrum that is in-band for a display device and a supplemental material in a supplemental spectrum that is out-of-band for the display device; and in response to receiving, from the first device, an indication that the principal material is secondary content and that the supplemental material is primary content: repackaging the annotated video stream to include the supplemental material in the principal spectrum. 13. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that are executable by a processor to perform an operation, the operation comprising: receiving, at a first device from a second device, an annotated video stream that includes a principal material in a principal spectrum that is in-band for a display device and a supplemental material in a supplemental spectrum that is out-of-band for the display device; and in response to receiving, from the downstream device, an indication that the principal material is secondary content and that the supplemental material is primary content: repackaging the annotated video stream to include the supplemental material in the principal spectrum. 20. A device, comprising: a processor; and a memory, including instructions that when executed by the processor enable the device to: receiving, from an upstream device, an annotated video stream that includes a principal material in a principal spectrum that is in-band for a display device and a supplemental material in a supplemental spectrum that is out-of-band for the display device; and in response to receiving an indication that the principal material is secondary content and that the supplemental material is primary content: repackaging the annotated video stream to include the supplemental material in the principal spectrum.
