Methods and Systems for Presenting Adjunct Content During a Presentation of a Media Content Instance

A method comprising:

• including, by an adjunct content presentation system, adjunct content within a first image of a media content instance and a second image of the media content instance by setting a pixel value of a first group of pixels included in the first image and a pixel value of a second group of pixels included in the second image and corresponding to the first group of pixels to each be substantially equal to one pixel value unit less than a predetermined neutral pixel value;
• including, by the adjunct content presentation system, the adjunct content within a compensating image by setting a pixel value of a third group of pixels included in the compensating image and corresponding to the first and second groups of pixels to be substantially equal to two pixel value units greater than the predetermined neutral pixel value;
• and
• presenting, by the adjunct content presentation system, the first image, the second image, and the compensating image.

A system comprising:

• at least one computing device that
• includes content within a first image of a media content instance and a second image of the media content instance by setting a pixel value of a first group of pixels included in the first image and a pixel value of a second group of pixels included in the second image and corresponding to the first group of pixels to each be substantially equal to one pixel value unit greater than a predetermined neutral pixel value,
• includes the adjunct content within a compensating image by setting a pixel value of a third group of pixels included in the compensating image and corresponding to the first and second groups of pixels to be substantially equal to two pixel value units less than the predetermined neutral pixel value, and
• presents the first image, the second image, and the compensating image.
