Abstract
A method of data conditioning is disclosed that in one aspect can include the steps of receiving a data stream, encoding a time code in the data stream to identify a portion of the data stream corresponding to a content fragment, and separating the identified portion of the data stream to define the content fragment, wherein the content fragment comprises the encoded time code.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a data stream;
- encoding a time code in the data stream;
- separating, based on the time code, the data stream to define a content fragment, wherein the content fragment comprises the encoded time code;
- encoding a horizon window indicating at least one next in time fragment into the content fragment and, for the at least one next in time fragment, indicating a quality level of the at least one next in time fragment;
- and
- storing the content fragment in a content delivery network.

A method comprising:
- receiving a data stream;
- inserting data into the data stream;
- separating, based on the inserted data, the data stream into a plurality of content fragments;
- encoding fragment data into the plurality of content fragments;
- encoding a horizon window into the plurality of content fragments, the horizon window indicating at least one next in time content fragment and, for the at least one next in time content fragment, indicating a quality level of the next in time content fragment;
- and
- storing the plurality of content fragments in a content delivery network.
