Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for viewing angle switching for live broadcasts and on demand video playback. A method includes, in a media server residing in a network of interconnect computers, the media server including a processor and a memory, receiving a plurality of real-time video input streams and an associated session entity from a client device in the network, enabling a producer to select streams from the received plurality of real-time video input stream and assigned angles, recording the selected streams and angles in a media mix container, transcoding the selected streams and angles, and publishing the transcoded selected streams and angles to a content delivery network.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 in a media server residing in a network of interconnect computers, the media server comprising a processor and a memory, receiving a plurality of real-time video input streams and an associated session entity from a client device in the network;   enabling a producer to select streams from the received plurality of real-time video input stream and assigned angles;   recording the selected streams and angles in a media mix container;   transcoding the selected streams and angles; and   publishing the transcoded selected streams and angles to a content delivery network.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the angles represent a remote view of activities on the media server. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein enabling the producer to select streams comprises assigning the selected streams to angle slots. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein the angles slots are locked or auto-rotating. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  where in the auto-rotating slots represent rotating through available input sources. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein enabling the producer to select streams further comprises embedding code into the associated session entity. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein recording the selected streams and angles in the media mix container comprises a zip container.
