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 59):
A network architecture for distributing content from a plurality of content sources to a plurality of computerized client devices, the network architecture comprising:\n spectrum generation apparatus comprising:\n first apparatus configured to receive, from one or more of the plurality of content sources, data packets of a plurality of multiplexed program streams in a packet stream, the data packet comprising formatting of a first domain; \n second apparatus configured to transform, via an inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), the data packets of the first domain to a data in a second domain, the data in the second domain configured for transmission via a plurality of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) radio frequency (RF) channels; \n third apparatus configured to encrypt all of the data in the second domain, the encryption based at least on at least one session established between the spectrum generation apparatus and the plurality of computerized client devices; and \n fourth apparatus configured to transmit the plurality of encrypted data in the second domain to the plurality of computerized client devices.
