Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In one method embodiments, providing a transport stream to a client device, the transport stream comprising a head stream and a tail stream, the head stream and the tail stream each comprising a compressed video sequence; providing information in a transport stream packet associated with the head stream, the information configured to cause the client device to selectively control an output of at least one of a plurality of pictures of the head stream yet to be output from a decoded picture buffer (DPB) at an out-point from the head stream to the trail stream.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

At least the following is claimed: 1. A method, comprising: providing a transport stream to a splicing device, the transport stream comprising a head stream concatenated to a tail stream, the head stream and the tail stream each comprising a compressed video sequence from a separate video source; and providing in an adaptation field of a transport stream packet corresponding to the head stream a splice out-point that corresponds to a splice point, the splice point provided based…
