Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for monitoring audio-video (AV) streams transported over a network. The system may include an AV probe deployed between an AV tuner and AV destination customer premise equipment. The AV probe may receive an incoming AV stream. The AV probe may generate a thumbnail stream by capturing thumbnails of the incoming AV stream. The AV probe may transmit, substantially in real-time, the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine and the incoming AV stream to the AV destination customer premise equipment.
Claims22
1-27. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by an AV probe coupled to an AV tuner, an incoming AV stream;
- capturing, by the AV probe, content verification data from the incoming AV stream;
- generating, by the AV probe, a thumbnail stream that includes the content verification data by capturing thumbnails of the content verification data from the incoming AV stream;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine;
- and
- transforming the content verification data from the thumbnail stream to generate a visual representation of the content verification.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by an AV probe coupled to an AV tuner, an incoming AV stream;
- capturing, by the AV probe, content verification data from the incoming AV stream;
- generating, by the AV probe, a thumbnail stream that includes the content verification data by capturing thumbnails of the content verification data from the incoming AV stream;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine;
- and
- transforming the content verification data from the thumbnail stream to generate a visual representation of the content verification.
A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by an AV probe coupled to an AV tuner, an incoming AV stream;
- capturing, by the AV probe, content verification data from the incoming AV stream;
- generating, by the AV probe, a thumbnail stream that includes the content verification data by capturing thumbnails of the content verification data from the incoming AV stream;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine;
- and
- transforming the content verification data from the thumbnail stream to generate a visual representation of the content verification.
