Abstract:
A system for delivering a data stream to an audience member, the system comprising:a communications device associated with an audience member; a hybrid fiber coax network connected to the communications device for communicating data with the. audience member; and a synchronization processor for receiving broadcast event data of event objects of an event, live event data of event objects of the event, and static event data of event objects of the event, wherein the synchronization processor processes the broadcast event data to determine an event object being broadcasted, wherein the synchronization processor selects the live event data corresponding to the determined event object and selects the static event data corresponding to the determined event object, wherein the synchronization processor generates a synchronized event data stream having broadcast event data, live event data, and static event data for the determined event object by combining the broadcast event data of the determined event object with the selected live event data and the selected static event data, wherein the synchronization processor transmits the synchronized event data stream to the communications device for access by the audience member via the hybrid fiber coax network.
