Abstract:
A television playout system that handles playout of a channel, receives a video feed of the channel comprising programming data and a plurality of interstitial content items, and a playout schedule of the channel. Metadata comprising a pre-roll value is inserted at a first insertion point related to a first interstitial content item of the plurality of interstitial content items, based on the playout schedule. An offset is detected in the metadata, based on the first insertion point of the metadata in the video feed, the pre-roll value, and a time-code (TC) jump associated with a second interstitial content item in the video feed. One or more control parameters associated with the insertion of the metadata are calibrated, based on the detected offset to align a splice point related to the first interstitial content item with the TC jump associated with the second interstitial content item.

Claim (Index 13):
A method, comprising:\n in a television playout system that is configured to handle playout of a channel:\n receiving a video feed of the channel, wherein the video feed comprises programming data, a plurality of interstitial content items, and a playout schedule of the channel; \n inserting metadata at a first insertion point of a first interstitial content item of the plurality of interstitial content items, \n wherein the metadata is inserted based on the received playout schedule, \n wherein the received playout schedule indicates a splice point related to the first interstitial content item, and \n wherein the metadata comprises a pre-roll value; \n detecting an offset based on the first insertion point of the metadata in the video feed, the pre-roll value, and a time-code (TC) jump associated with a second interstitial content item of the plurality of interstitial content items, \n wherein the offset indicates an error in the first insertion point of the metadata, \n wherein the TC jump is further associated with a transition between the plurality of interstitial content items, and \n wherein the second interstitial content item begins in the video feed based on the pre-roll value; \n calibrating at least one control parameter associated with the insertion of the metadata, wherein the at least one control parameter is calibrated based on the detected offset; and \n aligning the splice point related to the first interstitial content item in the video feed with the TC jump associated with a second interstitial content item, wherein the splice point is aligned based on the calibration.
