Abstract

There is provided an event tag insertion system. The system includes a memory and a processor configured to receive a media content, receive an input from an event indicator device, the input corresponding to an event in the media content, generate an event tag, the event tag including the input from the event indicator device and a position of the event in the media content, and insert the event tag as metadata into the media content.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a memory;
a processor configured to:
receive a live video of a performance including an audio portion, a video portion and an ancillary (ANC) data portion;
receive an input from an event indicator device, the input indicating an occurrence of an edit corresponding to an event in the live video, wherein the event is an offensive content impermissible for public broadcast, wherein the edit modifies the live video broadcast and includes one or more of suppressing the audio portion, pixelating the video portion, and blacking out the live video;
generate an event tag based on the edit, the event tag including the input from the event indicator device and a position of the event in the live video;
insert the event tag as metadata into the live video to generate an edited live video;
transmit the edited live video including the edit and further including the event tag to a broadcast network;
publicly broadcast, by the broadcast network, the performance using the edited live video including the edit being the one or more of suppressing the audio portion, pixelating the video portion, and blacking out the live video;
record the edited live video including the edit and further including the event tag;
replace, in response to detecting the event tag in the recorded edited live video, the edit with an alternate content to generate an edited recorded video; and
publicly re-broadcast, by the broadcast network, the performance using the edited recorded video including the alternate content.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the position of the event in the live video is at least one of a time stamp and a frame number.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input from the event indicator device is for compliance with FCC rules.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to record the event tag in an event tag log in compliance with removal of the offensive content impermissible for public broadcast.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edit is of a fixed duration.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edit replaces a portion of the audio portion with another audio portion.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the event tag is inserted as the metadata into the ancillary (ANC) portion of the live video to generate the edited live video, and wherein the event tag is inserted as the metadata into a header of or at the end of or a sidecar file of the recorded edited live video.

8. A method, for use by an event tag insertion system having a memory and a processor, of inserting an event tag in a live video, the method comprising:
receiving, using the processor, the live video of a performance including an audio portion, a video portion and an ancillary (ANC) data portion;
receiving, using the processor, an input from an event indicator device, the input indicating an occurrence of an edit corresponding to an event in the live video, wherein the event is an offensive content impermissible for public broadcast, wherein the edit modifies the live video broadcast and includes one or more of suppressing the audio portion, pixelating the video portion, and blacking out the live video;
generating, using the processor, an event tag based on the edit, the event tag including the input from the event indicator device and a position of the event in the live video;
inserting, using the processor, the event tag as metadata into the live video to generate an edited live video;
transmitting the edited live video including the edit and further including the event tag to a broadcast network;
publicly broadcasting, by the broadcast network, the performance using the edited live video including the edit being the one or more of suppressing the audio portion, pixelating the video portion, and blacking out the live video;
recording the edited live video including the edit and further including the event tag;
replacing, in response to detecting the event tag in the recorded edited live video, the edit with an alternate content to generate an edited recorded video; and
publicly re-broadcasting, by the broadcast network, the performance using the edited recorded video including the alternate content.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the position of the event in the live video is at least one of a time stamp and a frame number.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the input from the event indicator device is for compliance with FCC rules.

11. The method of claim 8 further comprises recording the event tag in an event tag log in compliance with removal of the offensive content impermissible for public broadcast.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the edit is of a fixed duration.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the edit replaces a portion of the audio portion with another audio portion.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the event tag is inserted as the metadata into the ancillary (ANC) portion of the live video to generate the edited live video, and wherein the event tag is inserted as the metadata into a header of or at the end of or a sidecar file of the recorded edited live video.
