Abstract: The non-linear program planner, preparation, and delivery system performs multiplatform planning and scheduling across multiple content delivery platforms. The system coordinates planning to deliver high-quality video content in a very efficient and scalable manner. The system includes automated avails and other processes that increases the accuracy of the information provided to distribution partners. The system checks on content rights and incorporates metadata structures that facilitate delivery of content to a wide range of distribution channels. The invention increases accuracy, timeliness, and efficiency of content delivered to partners and allows providers to generate revenue from online (non-linear) platforms and over the top (OTT) video services.

Abstract: The non-linear content scheduling and encoding (recording) system provides a highly automated file-based video-on-demand (VOD) publishing workflow. The system includes content-provider scheduling and broadcast programming for encoding, editing, and distribution of video assets (e.g., episodes). The invention effectively scales VOD production and allows broadcasters to use the same schedule and sources as their traditional playout operation to quickly and efficiently produce VOD deliverables with all the correct metadata. The systems of the invention process content at significantly faster rates than traditional, real-time VOD generation. The systems provide program management and incorporate traffic system ad components within fully integrated VOD publishing. The systems enable automatic retrieval of sources for VOD generation from generic storage, video servers, non-linear editing systems, archiving systems, content delivery systems, data or video tapes, as well as from live video sources.
