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 52):
A spectrum generation apparatus configured to distribute a plurality of heterogeneous types of content from one or more content sources to a plurality of computerized client devices, said spectrum generation apparatus comprising:\n server apparatus comprising:\n processor apparatus; \n one or more network interfaces in data communication with the processor apparatus and configured to receive said plurality of heterogeneous types of digital content from said plurality of content sources; \n computerized logic configured to cause allocation of data to one or more frequency carriers, the computerized apparatus in data communication with said processor apparatus; and \n storage apparatus in data communication with the processor apparatus, the storage apparatus comprising at least one computer program configured to, when executed on the processor apparatus:\n perform an inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) process on said received plurality of heterogeneous types of digital content to convert said received plurality of heterogeneous types of digital content into a plurality of time domain content; \n encrypt said plurality of time domain content based at least on data associated with one or more sessions between the spectrum generation apparatus and the plurality of computerized client devices; \n utilize at least said computerized logic to cause allocation of said plurality of time domain content onto a plurality of radio frequency carriers; and \n cause transmission of said allocated plurality of time domain content to said plurality of computerized client devices over said plurality of radio frequency carriers.
