Streaming content may be delivered through a combination of broadcast and a backchannel. A desired streamlet may be selected from the packet of information and presented with a display. A remainder of a data stream associated with the streamlet may be requested and received from via a backchannel while the desired streamlet is being presented. The remaining data stream may then be presented with the display.

Methods and apparatuses for data pruning for video compression using example-based super resolution are provided. A method and apparatus for encoding is provided in which patches of video are extracted from input video, grouped together using a clustering method, and representative patches are packed into patch frames. The original video is downsized and sent either along with, or in addition to, the patch frames. At a decoder, the method and apparatus provided extract patches from the patch frames and create a patch library. The regular video frames are upsized and the low resolution patches are replaced by patches from the patch library by searching the library using the patches in the decoded regular frames as keywords. If there are no appropriate patches, no replacement is made. A post processing procedure is used to enhance the spatiotemporal smoothness of the recovered video.

Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide for dynamic delay equalization of related media signals in a media transport system. Methods include receiving a plurality of related media signals, transporting the related media signals along different media paths, calculating uncorrected propagation delays for the media paths, and delaying each of the related media signals by an amount related to the difference between the longest propagation delay (of the uncorrected propagation delays) and the uncorrected propagation delay of the related media signal/media path. Calculating the uncorrected propagation delays and delaying the related media signals may be performed in response to a change to the propagation delay of at least one of the related media signals/media paths. Additionally or alternatively, calculating the uncorrected propagation delays and delaying the related media signals may be performed while transporting the related media signals.

A broadcasting signal reception device may include a reception unit for receiving, through the broadcasting network, a broadcasting signal including a first component of a DASH content which can be received through a broadcasting network and a broadband network; a delivery module for de-capsulating the received broadcasting signal, outputting LCT packets transmitted through one or more LCT channels, and parsing signaling information used for acquiring segments corresponding to the first component of the DASH content included in the LCT packets; and a decoder for decoding the acquired segments.
