Abstract
An apparatus may include a processor circuit and a media management module operative on the processor circuit to identify meta-data from one or more of a plurality of media files, and to allocate, based on the meta-data, one or more media files for a first media presentation on a first device and one or more different media files for a second media presentation on a second device different than the first device, at least a portion of the first and second media presentations to occur concurrently. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims28
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor circuit;
- and
- a media management module operative on the processor circuit to:
- identify meta-data from one or more of a plurality of media files and to allocate, based on the meta-data, one or more media files for a first media presentation of a media show on a first device and one or more different media files for a second media presentation of the media show on a second device different than the first device, at least a portion of each of the first and second media presentations to occur at least partly concurrently with a single presentation of a soundtrack;
- and
- cooperate with the first and second devices to synchronize occurrences of at least a first transition in the first media presentation by the first device and of at least a second transition in the second media presentation by the second device to at least one feature of the soundtrack during the single presentation of the soundtrack.
At least one computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:
- identify meta-data from one or more of a plurality of media files;
- allocate, based on the meta-data, one or more media files for a first media presentation of a media show on a first device and one or more different media files for a second media presentation of the media show on a second device different than the first device, at least a portion of each of the first and second media presentations to occur at least partly concurrently with a single presentation of a soundtrack;
- and
- cooperate with the first and second devices to synchronize occurrences of at least a first transition in the first media presentation by the first device and of at least a second transition in the second media presentation by the second device to at least one feature of the soundtrack during the single presentation of the soundtrack.
A method, comprising:
- identifying meta-data from one or more of a plurality of media files;
- identifying device information received from a first and a second subscriber device to output a first and a second media presentation, respectively;
- allocating, based on the meta-data and the device information, one or more media files for the first media presentation of a media show on the first subscriber device and one or more different media files for the second media presentation of the media show on the second subscriber device, at least a portion of each of the first and second media presentations to occur at least partly concurrently with a single presentation of a soundtrack;
- and
- cooperating with the first and second subscriber devices to synchronize occurrences of at least a first transition in the first media presentation by the first subscriber device and of at least a second transition in the second media presentation by the second subscriber device to at least one feature of the soundtrack during the single presentation of the soundtrack.
