A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving content is provided. A method for transmitting content in a transmitter includes generating a file with one or more packages including at least one asset, and transmitting the generated file to a terminal.

A transmitting system, receiving system, and a method of processing broadcast signals are disclosed. The method for processing a broadcast signal in a broadcast receiver comprises receiving a DTV signal including a data group, the data group including mobile service data, segmented known data sequences, long known data sequences and transmission parameter data, compensating carrier frequency offset of the DTV signal and channel-equalizing the carrier frequency offset compensated DTV signal using at least one of the long known data sequences and segmented known data sequences in the data group of the DTV signal, wherein the channel-equalizing includes performing a Error Correction (FEC) decoding on data located between the segmented known data sequences, and estimating Channel Impulse Response (CIR) using the FEC decoded data as known data.

A video transrater, and a transrater system and method. The transrater system and method may select an optimal bit rate from among a plurality of available bit rates in order to obtain a particular video quality and/or format.

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing dynamic block control of multi-bitrate video are described. In some embodiments, a computing device may determine transcoder conditions of a transcoder independent of a client device. The computing device may dynamically adjust a block size of one or more blocks of a stream based on the transcoder conditions. In some embodiments, a computing device may receive a stream. The client device may package the stream into a first packaged stream having a first block size and a second packaged stream having a second block size less than the first block size. In some embodiments, a client device may determine an actual minimum number of blocks to buffer prior to initiating content playback based on a received predicted network and/or transcoder quality of service forecast. The client device may adjust its preset minimum number of blocks to the actual minimum number of blocks.

Methods and apparatus are described for encoding and delivering secondary content (e.g., advertisements) for insertion in primary content (e.g., live events, movies, and television shows). Secondary content is encoded such that the duration of any audio component of the secondary content is equal to or longer than the video component duration. When the secondary content is inserted, the overall duration of the inserted content is specified to be equal to the video component duration.

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving content is provided. A method for transmitting content in a transmitter includes generating a file with one or more packages including at least one asset, and transmitting the generated file to a terminal.

A reception apparatus is provided that includes circuitry configured to receive a digital data stream. The circuitry is configured to acquire closed caption information included in the digital data stream. The circuitry is configured to acquire control information including selection information indicating a selection of a specific mode from a plurality of modes for specifying when closed caption text is to be displayed. The circuitry is further configured to output the closed caption text included in the closed caption information for display to a user, at a display time according to the specific mode, based on the selection information included in the control information.

A system and method for transmitting still images and a video feed from an unmanned aerial vehicle to a ground station is disclosed. The system includes an aircraft including a digital video camera to capture still images and video frames of an object. A video encoder is coupled to the camera to provide a video output including video packets. A file server is coupled to the camera to provide a still image output including image data packets. A multiplexer is coupled to the video output and the still image output. The multiplexer produces a data transmission including the video packets and the image data packets. A transmitter sends the data transmission to the ground station. The ground station receives the data transmission and demultiplexes the packets into separate video and image data packets. The ground control station may select the ratio the video stream images in relation to the still image to be transmitted from the aircraft.

An apparatus for receiving a broadcast signal, the apparatus including a tuner configured to receive transport packets for signaling data and transport packets for delivery objects, a delivery object is a part of a file for video content of a broadcast service: a signaling parser configured to parse the signaling data including session information including an extended file delivery table providing information about delivery of the file, in which the extended file delivery table including file template information: and a data processor configured to generate location information for the file by substituting an identifier in the file template information with a Transport Object Identifier (TOI) in a header of a transport packet for the delivery object. Further, a payload of the transport packet for the delivery object carries a contiguous portion of the delivery object starting from a beginning of a first byte value through a byte value related to a sum of the first byte value and second byte value, the first byte value is a value of start offset information, that is followed by the payload, in the transport packet, and the second byte value is a length of the payload computed by subtracting a size of the header and a size of the start offset information from a total length of the transport packet.

The system includes an aircraft including a digital video camera to capture still images and video frames of an object. A video encoder is coupled to the camera to provide a video output including video packets. A file server is coupled to the camera to provide a still image output including image data packets. A multiplexer is coupled to the video output and the still image output. The multiplexer produces a data transmission including the video packets and the image data packets. A transmitter sends the data transmission to the ground station. The ground station receives the data transmission and demultiplexes the packets into separate video and image data packets. The ground control station may select the ratio the video stream images in relation to the still image to be transmitted from the aircraft.
