Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional video production systems face challenges in efficiently processing and delivering live video content due to strict timing restrictions and high computational demands, leading to costly infrastructure and generational loss of quality from repeated decoding and encoding processes.
Innovation Solution
A computer-processor-implemented video production system that aligns video fragments with a timing model, using a Manifest Processing Service to generate a master manifest for processing and delivery, allowing for flexible processing and reduced infrastructure needs by leveraging fragmented video technology.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If video content is processed in real-time according to strict frame rate timing restrictions, then video delivery reliability is maintained, but device complexity and infrastructure cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content into discrete fragments with associated timing references, allowing independent processing and management of each fragment. This segmentation enables the system to handle video content in manageable units rather than as a continuous stream, reducing the complexity of real-time processing while maintaining delivery reliability through precise timing control for each fragment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If video content is repeatedly decoded and encoded for processing, then video production flexibility is improved, but generational loss of quality occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing video content into fragmented units with embedded timing references before delivery. This allows processing operations to be performed on already-segmented content rather than requiring repeated decode-encode cycles, thereby maintaining video quality while enabling production flexibility through selective processing of individual fragments.
3Stability of the object's composition
If strict timing restrictions are enforced for real-time video processing, then video stream synchronization is maintained, but processing speed and productivity decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics by allowing flexible processing of video fragments outside strict real-time constraints, then dynamically re-synchronizing fragments to their timing references during assembly. This dynamic approach enables faster processing of individual fragments while maintaining overall stream synchronization, improving productivity without sacrificing timing accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for producing fragmented video content is provided. The system includes a processing device, a non-transitory data store, and a memory storage device having at least a Manifest Processing Service (MPS) unit stored therein. The MPS unit is configured to generate at least one master manifest and store the master manifest in the non-transitory data store, the master manifest comprising a timing reference for a video fragment of the fragmented video content, wherein the timing reference indicates a temporal boundary of processing for the video fragment.
