摘要： A method of communicating an alert includes: encoding data received from a plurality of sources by a central content controller (CCC) and determining existence of one or more alerts. If no alerts exist, the encoded data is assigned as streams to subchannels. For existing alerts, a market area (MA) is determined and the alert is assigned as a stream to a data subchannel and the encoded data is assigned as streams to remaining subchannels. For each MA without an applicable alert, the encoded data is assigned as streams to the subchannels. The assigned data is transmitted to regional controllers (RCs) for broadcasting to the associated MAs.

摘要： A method of communicating an emergency alert includes receiving, by a central content controller (CCC), audiovisual (AV) content from a plurality of sources, encoding the content, transmitting the encoded content to regional controllers (RCs) associated with respective market areas (MAs) for broadcasting over the air (OTA), determining existence of one or more alerts, for each existing alert, identifying recipients designated for receiving the alert and transmitting the alert to devices associated with the identified recipients over a network.

摘要： A method of communicating an emergency alert includes receiving, by a central content controller (CCC), audiovisual (AV) content from a plurality of sources, determining existence of one or more emergency alerts, encoding the content to form a first stream type and transmitting the first stream type to regional controllers (RCs) associated with a respective market area (MA) if no alerts exist, determining, if an alert exist, a market area for the alert, encode the content and the alert to form a second stream type, transmit the second stream type to a RC associated with a MA for which the alert is applicable and encode the content to form the first stream and transmit the first stream type to RCs associated with a MA without an alert, and broadcast, as AV signals, the received stream types by the RC.
