A server offloads graphics effects processing to a client device with graphics processing resources by determining a modification to a graphics effects operation, generating a portion of a rendered video stream using the modification to the graphics effects operation, and providing an encoded representation of the portion of the rendered video stream to the client device, along with metadata representing the modification implemented. The client device decodes the encoded representation to recover the portion of the rendered video stream and selectively performs a graphics effects operation on the recovered portion to at least partially revert the resulting graphics effects for the portion to the intended effects without the modification implemented by the server.

Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for providing synchronous supplemental experiences are presented. According to one or more aspects, a video signal may be transmitted to a display device, and a sync signal may be transmitted to at least one other device. The sync signal may include an identifier of a program currently being displayed and a time value indicating a current point in time of the program. In at least one arrangement, the sync signal may cause the at least one other device to access content synchronization data; determine, based on the content synchronization data, that at least one supplemental experience corresponds to the identifier of the program and the time value; and present the at least one supplemental experience to a user.

Creative intent input describing emotion expectations and narrative information relating to media content is received. Expected physiologically observable states relating to the media content are generated based on the creative intent input. An audiovisual content signal with the media content and media metadata comprising the physiologically observable states is provided to a playback apparatus. The audiovisual content signal causes the playback device to use physiological monitoring signals to determine, with respect to a viewer, assessed physiologically observable states relating to the media content and generate, based on the expected physiologically observable states and the assessed physiologically observable states, modified media content to be rendered to the viewer.

Systems and methods are provided for receiving a request to generate a media overlay corresponding to a home of a first user, and for generating the media overlay corresponding to the home of the first user using media content received in the request. The systems and methods further provide for associating, with the media overlay, a location of the home of the first user and a selection of users to grant permission to access the media overlay corresponding to the home of the first user. The systems and methods further provide for determining whether a second user and a location corresponding to the second computing device trigger access to the media overlay and providing the media overlay to the second computing device, based on determining that the second user and location corresponding to the second computing device trigger access to the media overlay.

Systems, methods and apparatus for encoding, decoding or transcoding digital video are described. One example method of processing video data includes performing a conversion between a video and a bitstream of the video according to a format rule, wherein the format rule specifies that a supplemental enhancement information field included in the bitstream indicates whether the bitstream comprises one or more video layers that represent auxiliary information.

A transmission method includes generating one or more frames for content transfer using IP (Internet Protocol) packets, and transmitting the one or more generated frames by broadcast. Each of the one or more frames contains a plurality of second transfer units, each of the plurality of second transfer units contains one or more first transfer units, and each of the one or more first transfer units contains at least one of the IP packets. An object IP packet of the IP packets which is stored in a first transfer unit positioned at a head in the one or more frames contains reference clock information that indicates time for reproduction of the content in data structure different from data structure of an MMT (MPEG Media Transport) packet, and header compression processing on the object IP packet is omitted.

To secure easiness of component selection at a reception side. A transmission stream is generated in which a first transmission packet including a predetermined component and a second transmission packet including signaling information related to the predetermined component are multiplexed in a time division manner.

Method of distributing data from a transmitting electronic device to multiple receiving electronic devices is performed. The method comprises receiving, at the transmitting electronic device, an incoming signal and data, the data being intended to be processed by a plurality of geographically distributed receiving electronic devices; and jointly transmitting the incoming signal and the data from the transmitting electronic device to the receiving electronic devices over a communication network. The communication network is a broadcast or multicast network and each receiving electronic device is capable of receiving said incoming signal from the transmitting electronic device over the communication network. One or more instructions for performing, at the receiving electronic devices, computing operations on the data are transmitted from the transmitting electronic device to the receiving electronic devices over the communication network and/or over an IP network.

Methods and apparatus for pre-scaling media content to facilitate audience measurement are disclosed. An example method includes encoding a media content sample in accordance with a first encoding configuration and playing the encoded sample. The example method also includes attempting to detect the codes in the sample, and computing a ratio between the codes encoded in the sample and the codes detected when the sample is played.

A system is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes media segments corresponding to key events. A live production and playout system of disparate sub-systems is synchronized to a reference clock. A timecode from the reference clock is used as a reference time to log content related to key events that occur within the live production and playout system. A live event logging system is synchronized to the reference clock same as the live production and playout system. Based on location of the live event logging system, a time offset is introduced to compensate for a delay. When delay is variable, the reference clock is decoded from a live input stream to associate each key event with a corresponding timecode. Based on a programming schedule comprising the key events that occurred in the live input stream, the disparate live media output stream manifest is published.
