Transmission Interface for Media Content

A system comprising:

• a computing device comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
• receive a manifest comprising information indicating:
• a baseline version of a portion of a media program;
• enhancement data corresponding to the portion of the media program;
• and
• a plurality of importance values, each corresponding to a different scene of the media program;
• and
• cause, based on determining that a first importance value corresponding to the portion of the media program satisfies a content importance threshold, output of the baseline version of the portion of the media program enhanced based on the enhancement data;
• and
• a content server comprising:
• one or more second processors;
• and
• second memory storing second instructions which, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second processors to:
• generate the manifest.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, a plurality of importance values, wherein each importance value, of the plurality of importance values, corresponds to a different portion of a plurality of portions of a media program;
• requesting, for each portion of the plurality of portions of the media program, a baseline version of the portion of the media program;
• and
• requesting, for each portion of the plurality of portions of the media program and based on a comparison of a content importance threshold and a first importance value corresponding to the portion of the media program, enhancement data corresponding to the portion of the media program.
