Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of data conditioning is disclosed that in one aspect can include the steps of receiving a data stream, encoding a time code in the data stream to identify a portion of the data stream corresponding to a content fragment, and separating the identified portion of the data stream to define the content fragment, wherein the content fragment comprises the encoded time code.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method of data conditioning comprising the steps of: receiving a data stream; encoding a time code in the data stream to identify a portion of the data stream corresponding to a content fragment; and separating the identified portion of the data stream to define the content fragment, wherein the content fragment comprises the encoded time code.
