Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for distributing content using a spectrum generation device. In one embodiment, digital content is received via a time-multiplexed network transport (such as Gigabit Ethernet), and converted to frequency channels suitable for transmission over a content distribution (e.g., Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC)) network. In one variant, the conversion is performed using digital domain processing performed by a full spectrum generation device. Additionally, methods and apparatus for selectively adding, removing, and/or changing digital content from the full spectrum device are also disclosed. Various aspects of the present invention enable physical (infrastructure) consolidation, and software-implemented remote management of content distribution.

Claim (Index 26):
A computerized method for delivering digitally rendered content from a digital content source to at least one computerized client device associated with a content delivery network, the computerized method comprising:\n accessing the digital content source to obtain a digital content element, the digital content source in communication with the content delivery network; executing computerized logic to process the accessed digital content element; and causing a reprogrammable transformation device to:\n receive the processed digital content element as part of a multicast single-program transport stream (SPTS) being distributed to the programmable transformation device and a plurality of other corresponding reprogrammable transformation devices within the content delivery network; \n transform the processed digital content element from a first domain to a second, different domain via digital domain processing; and \n causing transmission of the transformed one or more second domain content to a plurality of users over at least one radio frequency carrier and via a switch apparatus, the switch apparatus comprising logic configured to selectively switch in and switch out the processed digital content element from delivery based at least on a presence or absence of the computerized client device being tuned to the at least one radio frequency carrier.
