A method of delivering a video stream, including encoding a video stream into a first encoded stream and selecting encoding parameter values for subsequent transcoding the first encoded stream into a specific second encoded stream. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting the first encoded stream with the selected encoding parameter values to a transcoder over a standard communication network, transcoding the first encoded stream into a second encoded stream having the selected parameter values and forwarding the second encoded stream.

A method of media transmission. The method includes providing at least one variable bit rate (VBR) video stream and multiplexing the at least one VBR video stream together with auxiliary data related to the at least one VBR video stream, in a constant bit rate (CBR) stream. The stream is transmitted to a first receiving unit, which is adapted to discard the auxiliary data as padding and use the at least one VBR stream and to a second receiving unit, which is adapted to extract the auxiliary data and use it in further handling of the at least one VBR stream.

A video stream admission method including receiving one or more parameters of a video stream, indicative of a required bandwidth for the video stream, in a plurality of different quality levels and determining based on the received one or more parameters, whether a channel can meet a predetermined condition for each of the plurality of quality levels, according to an available bandwidth of the channel.

The present invention is directed to a method of delivering a video stream. The method operates by determining a group of video streams to be provided to a particular destination over a particular communication link. Next, the band width of the link is allocated to the video streams based upon the particular properties of the various video streams to be transmitted. The video streams are processed so that they fit into the band width allocations. Next, the video streams are transmitted in separate channels, synchronized with respect to each other, to reach the subject destination.

A method of providing post-processing information to client decoders. The method includes encoding a video, by an encoder and determining one or more parameters of sharpening, color space bias correction or contrast correction for post-processing of a frame of the encoded video. The method further includes transmitting the encoded video with the determined one or more parameters to a decoder.

A method of video distribution including receiving a manifest including links to blocks, which blocks form at least a portion of a video program, selecting at least some of the links in the manifest, to which auxiliary information is to be added and adding, to each of the selected links, auxiliary information, which does not affect a block referred to by the link. A log of links requested by clients is retrieved from a storage unit, links relating to a specific video program are filtered from the retrieved log, and information on an extent to which the specific video program was viewed, is determined responsive to the filtered links.

A method of providing a video program with overlay content. The method includes receiving a video program and transcoding the received video program into a plurality of segments, by the processor, each segment representing a different period of the video program. In response to receiving an instruction to add overlay content to the video program, a subset of the segments of the video program to which the overlay content is to be added is selected. Overlay content is added to the selected segments and the segments of the video program to which overlay content was added, together with the segments of the video program that were not selected are transmitted to a receiver.

Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) HTTP streaming protocols allow for video streaming at client devices. Embodiments relate to a storage controller configured for efficient memory usage for storage and throughput. The storage controller concatenates file segments to a number of contiguous physical storage blocks and updates a manifest file with offset values as pointers to the contiguous physical storage blocks for video streaming to client devices.
