Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for output-aligned avail blanking for video streams are disclosed. Frame-rate conversion is performed on a video input. The video input is associated with a starting point in time for a break such as an avail break, and the video input has an input frame rate. The frame-rate conversion generates one or more video outputs whose frame rates may differ from the input frame rate. Blanking is performed on the video outputs after the frame-rate conversion. The blanking comprises modifying or inserting a sequence of frames, and a beginning of the sequence of frames is aligned with an indication of a start of the break. For multiple video outputs, a starting frame for the break is selected from the output having the lowest frame rate so that the start of the break is synchronized across the video outputs.

Abstract: A content distribution environment enables acquisition of a video feed in a first format, conversion into a second format, and transmission to a cloud service using on-premises equipment managed and operated by the content provider. A gateway or bridge may facilitate operation with one or more managed services, such as a content distribution service, that provides a reliable way to ingest a video stream from a source, replicate the video stream to one or more destinations, and permit sharing of video streams to affiliates and partners. The on-premises equipment may execute a software package to provide end-to-end operations that leverage operations of a cloud service while executing on content provider owned or managed hardware.
