Abstract:
For broadcast-grade service level guarantees for linear video Playout, it is important for Playout systems and the associated server hardware to be extremely reliable. To accomplish this both the Playout software and server hardware are tightly integrated in on-premise implementations. Playout systems on the cloud allow for leveraging cloud servers dynamically for running Playout systems. The present invention proposes a system and method redundant, cost-effective for time-advanced, server-independent cloud Playout, which is useful in a variety of scenarios including but not limited to accomplishing seamless redundancy, optimizing operating costs by choosing different service provider/regions/servers. This is achieved by pre-playing the channel ahead of schedule, and then passing it to the output through an intelligent delay buffer. By switching Playout across multiple servers by instantiating new Playout software on another cloud server without impacting the linear output feed streamed out of the delay buffer we accomplish a server independent Playout system.

Claim (Index 4):
The system of  claim 1  wherein the Timed data buffer selector  407  is configured to receive a \u2018Start output streaming @time 1 \u2019 message  501  such that:\n a. When day clock is time 1  the Timed data buffer selector  407  starts the timer  502  and then starts an iterator for each of the video frame rate period  503 ; \n b. For each frame rate period T(i), the Timed data buffer selector  504  starts another iterator to go over all delay buffers, going from the largest to the smallest delay buffer count; and \n c. If the timed data is found on the jth delay buffer then that is selected and passed onto Multiplexer and output streamer module  506 , if the timed data is not found on the jth delay buffer then the Timed data buffer selector iterates through to a lower sequence numbered delay buffer  507 .
