    摘要: A method includes transmitting, to a client device, a portion of a first ABR segment, characterized by a first representation, according to a first predefined protocol, and transmitting a first buffer management instruction that is associated with the portion of the first ABR segment. The method includes obtaining a performance status characteristic from the client device. The performance status characteristic characterizes the client device receiving the portion of the first ABR segment. The method includes, in response to determining that the performance status characteristic satisfies a representation change condition, transmitting, to the client device, a portion of a second ABR segment, characterized by a second representation, according to a second predefined protocol that is different from the first predefined protocol, and transmitting a second buffer management instruction that is associated with the portion of the second ABR segment.

    摘要: A method is performed at a network device including a plurality of network interfaces. The method includes obtaining a first source adaptive bitrate (ABR) asset and a second source ABR asset. The method includes encoding the first source ABR asset in order to generate a first plurality of video representations, and encoding the second source ABR asset in order to generate a second plurality of video representations. The method includes providing, to a first client device, a first one of the first plurality of video representations. The method includes, in response to detecting satisfaction of a source change condition with respect to the first client device, providing, to the first client device, a first one of the second plurality of video representations, and ceasing to provide the first one of the first plurality of video representations to the first client device.

    摘要: A method includes transmitting a first preauthored video frame of a plurality of preauthored video frames to a client device. The first preauthored video frame is associated with a preauthored media object. The method includes providing a request for a composited video frame to an interactive source device. The request includes a temporal characteristic associated with the first preauthored video frame. The method includes, in response to providing the request, obtaining, from the interactive source device, the composited video frame including customizable video content and preauthored video content. The preauthored video content is associated with a portion of the preauthored media object based on the temporal characteristic. The method includes, in response to detecting that the first preauthored video frame and the composited video frame together satisfy a switching condition, transmitting the composited video frame to the client device after transmitting the first preauthored video frame to the client device.
