Title: Content insertion in adaptive multimedia streams
Inventor: MILLAR KEITH
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2011-06-02
Abstract: A first content stream (44) has one or more placement opportunities (50) at which an item e.g. an advertisement from a second stream can be inserted. The first stream is divided into chunks, the placement opportunity being temporally disposed after a first and/or before a second one of the chunks, after a first point where the first chunk is operative to finish being rendered and/or before a second point where the second chunk is operative to start being rendered.
