A system for generating, providing and/or receiving an encapsulated service guide data.

A method and apparatus for an adaptive Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) streaming service using metadata of media content are provided. The media content may include a sequence of one or more periods. Each of the periods may include one or more representations. The metadata may include information used to describe a relationship between the representations, and include information for terminals having different display bit depth.

The non-linear content scheduling and encoding (recording) system provides a highly automated file-based video-on-demand (VOD) publishing workflow. The system includes content-provider scheduling and broadcast programming for encoding, editing, and distribution of video assets (e.g., episodes). The invention effectively scales VOD production and allows broadcasters to use the same schedule and sources as their traditional playout operation to quickly and efficiently produce VOD deliverables with all the correct metadata. The systems of the invention process content at significantly faster rates than traditional, real-time VOD generation. The systems provide program management and incorporate traffic system ad components within fully integrated VOD publishing. The systems enable automatic retrieval of sources for VOD generation from generic storage, video servers, non-linear editing systems, archiving systems, content delivery systems, data or video tapes, as well as from live video sources.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for displaying content on a displayable area that spans multiple panels of a multi-panel display. A method includes: (a) using a genlock signal to define a periodic write interval and a periodic output interval, and (b) during at least a portion of the periodic write interval, using a markup document to store a description of a frame of video content to a data storage unit, where the video content comprises first live video content represented by a first video stream. The also method includes: (c) during a portion of the periodic output interval using (i) the stored description of the frame, and (ii) the first video stream to display the frame on the displayable area. Further, the method includes (d) repeating operations (a) and (b) for one or more other frames of the video content to display the video content on the displayable area.

Methods, systems, and media for remote rendering of Web content on a television device are provided. In some implementations, methods for remote rendering of Web content on a television device are provided, the methods comprising: sending a request for the Web content to a server, receiving, at a source device, a response corresponding to the request; generating a set of drawing commands based on the response; obtaining at least one encoded image based on the response; presenting the Web content on the source device; generating a plurality of content layers corresponding to the Web content, wherein the plurality of content layers including a first content layer comprises the set of drawing commands and a second content layer comprises the encoded image; transmitting the plurality of content layers; and causing the Web content to be presented on the television device based on the plurality of content layers.
