Abstract
An approach for assigning definitions to media network channels is described. A demand for program content of a media network channel associated with a first definition relating to resolution of the program content is determined. A second definition is assigned to the media network channel for the program content in response to the demand, wherein the second definition relates to the resolution of the program content and is higher in resolution than the first definition.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a demand for program content of a media network channel associated with a first definition relating to resolution of the program content;
- and
- assigning a second definition to the media network channel for the program content in response to the demand,
- wherein the second definition relates to the resolution of the program content and is higher in resolution than the first definition.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- determine a demand for program content of a media network channel associated with a first definition relating to resolution of the program content;
- and
- assign a second definition to the media network channel for the program content in response to the demand,
- wherein the second definition relates to the resolution of the program content and is higher in resolution than the first definition.
A method comprising:
- generating a request for program content of a media network channel,
- wherein the media network channel is initially associated with a first definition relating to resolution of the program content,
- wherein a second definition is assigned to the media network channel for the program content in response to a demand determined for the program content, and
- wherein the second definition relates to the resolution of the program content and is higher in resolution than the first definition.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- generating a request for program content of a media network channel,
- wherein the media network channel is initially associated with a first definition relating to resolution of the program content,
- wherein a second definition is assigned to the media network channel for the program content in response to a demand determined for the program content, and
- wherein the second definition relates to the resolution of the program content and is higher in resolution than the first definition.
