Abstract:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method, the method comprising: providing a video stream at a given frame rate; splitting the video stream into two or more video substreams containing offset frames from the video stream; modulating the two or more video substreams onto one or more air interface channels; when a first mobile device is configured to combine the two or more video substreams, wherein the first mobile device is capable of accessing and combining multiple video substreams: (1) allowing the first mobile device to access a first video substream of the two or more video substreams based on subscription to a basic broadcast video service, wherein video content associated with the first video substream is presented on a display associated with the first mobile device at a lower frame rate; and (2) allowing the first mobile device to access both the offset frames of the first video substream and the offset frames of a second video substream of the two or more video substreams based on subscription to a premium broadcast video service, wherein the first mobile device combines the offset frames of the first video substream and the offset frames of the second video substream to present video content associated with the first and second video substreams on the display associated with the first mobile device at a higher frame rate; and when a second mobile device is not configured to combine the two or more video substreams, wherein the second mobile device is not capable of accessing and combining multiple video substreams: (1) allowing the second mobile device to access the first video substream based on subscription to a basic broadcast video service, wherein video content associated with the first video substream is presented on a display associated with the second mobile device at a lower frame rate.
