Abstract
Methods and systems for managing content items are described. A content item may be separated into components, such as chroma components, luminance components, and audio components. For more efficient management of the content, including for storage and delivery of the content, the separate components may be stored at different locations. For example, chroma components may be stored on a central server, while luminance and audio components are stored at other locations, such as edge servers, or vice versa, to accommodate network efficiency considerations. When content is delivered to a player, two or more separate streams carrying different content components may be delivered to the player.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a request to store a content item;
- determining a chroma component, a luminance component, and an audio component of the content item;
- causing a first computing device to store the chroma component;
- and
- causing a second computing device to store the luminance component and the audio component.
A method comprising:
- sending, by a user device, a request for a content item;
- receiving, from a first computing device, a chroma video track of the content item;
- receiving from a second computing device, a luminance video track of the content item and an audio track of the content item;
- synchronizing, by the user device, the chroma video track, the luminance video track, and the audio track;
- and
- causing output of the synchronized chroma video track, luminance video track, and audio track.
A method comprising:
- determining, for video content received from a security system video capture device, a chroma component, a luminance component, and an audio component of the video content;
- storing the chroma component and the audio component;
- sending, to a computing device, the luminance component, wherein the computing device is configured to perform a security analysis on the luminance component;
- and
- sending, to the computing device, based on the security analysis, the chroma component and the audio component.
