System and method for producing a video stream

A computer software product for providing a second digital video stream, the computer software product being stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and being arranged to, when executing on a central server that can be accessible in a logically centralized manner, providing a video communication service and/or comprised in a participant client, perform

• a collecting step, wherein a first primary digital video stream is collected from a first participant client, a second primary digital video stream is collected from a second participant client and a third primary digital video stream is collected from a third participant client;
• publishing step, wherein at least one of said first primary digital video stream, said second primary digital video stream and a first produced video stream having been automatically produced by said computer software product in a first production step based on at least one of said first and second primary video streams is provided to at least one of said first participant client and said second participating client;
• a second production step, wherein the second digital video stream is automatically produced as a digital video stream based on said first primary digital video stream, said second primary digital video stream and said third primary digital video stream, said second production step comprising automatically detecting events and/or patterns in said primary digital video streams and basing automatic production decisions on said events and/or patterns, said second production step introducing a time-delay so that the second digital video stream is time-unsynchronized with any video streams provided to said first or second participant clients in the publishing step,
• wherein said publishing step further comprising continuously and automatically providing said second digital video stream to at least one consuming client not being the first or second participating client.

A system for providing a second digital video stream, the system comprising a central server, the central server being accessible in a logically centralized manner, providing a video communication service and/or being comprised in a participant client and in turn comprising:

• a collecting function, wherein a first primary digital video stream is collected from a first participant client, a second primary digital video stream is collected from a second participant client and a third primary digital video stream is collected from a third participant client;
• a publishing function, wherein at least one of said first primary digital video stream, said second primary digital video stream and a first produced video stream having been automatically produced by the central server in a first production step based on at least one of said first and second primary video streams is provided to at least one of said first participant client and said second participating client;
• a second production function, wherein the second digital video stream is automatically produced as a digital video stream based on said first primary digital video stream, said second primary digital video stream and said third primary digital video stream, said second production function being arranged to automatically detect events and/or patterns in said primary digital video streams and base automatic production decisions on said events and/or patterns, said second production function introducing a time-delay so that the second digital video stream is time-unsynchronized with any video streams provided to said first or second participant clients in the publishing function,
• wherein said publishing function comprises continuously and automatically providing said second digital video stream to at least one consuming client not being the first or second participating client.
