Abstract:
A method for performing trick-mode operations with decreased latency for transcode streaming includes receiving and recording a stream of video data. A single transcoder may transcode the stream of video data and generate output video data in an output buffer following. Segmentation index information may be generated that refers to the output data in the output buffer. Skip-backwards, skip-ahead, and resume requests received from a client device are responded by retrieving transcoded video data from the output buffer or retrieving and transcoding video data from an input storage. A method for performing skip-ahead trick-mode operation with decreased latency may use two transcoders such as two threads of the single transcoder to transcode temporally current content and forward content. The forward content may be associated with a forward time offset with respect to the temporally current content. The transcoded forward content is provided in response to skip-ahead trick mode request.
Abstract:
A distributed adaptive bit rate (ABR) proxy system may include a gateway device that includes a first transcoder and is configured to receive segments of a content item from an ABR server, and a secondary device that includes a second transcoder and is configured to receive the segments of the content item from the gateway device. The first transcoder may transcode the segments based at least in part on a first ABR profile to generate first transcoded segments, and the second transcoder may transcode the segments based at least in part on a second ABR profile to generate second transcoded segments. The gateway device may advertise the first and second ABR profiles to user devices and may transmit the first transcoded segments to the user devices in response to requests therefor. The secondary device may transmit the second transcoded segments to the user devices in response to requests therefor.
Abstract:
A method of securing a data frame is provided. The method includes receiving a request from a memory client to read or write decoded data in a memory. The memory may be partitioned to have a secure memory region and an unsecure memory region. The method also includes determining if the request is associated with the secure memory region or the unsecure memory region. The method also includes determining whether the memory client has access privileges to the secure memory region if the request is associated with the secure memory region. The method also includes granting the request if the memory client is determined to have access privileges.
