Abstract

See full text

A video delivery system and related operating methods are presented here, including a method of providing place-shifted video content to a video presentation device. An exemplary embodiment of the method receives, from a video presentation device, a request to place-shift a particular video program. The method continues by identifying video place-shifting devices from which the particular video program is available, and by coordinating delivery of transcoded video data from the place-shifting devices to the video presentation device. The transcoded video data provided by each of the place-shifting devices conveys a different portion of the particular video program. The video presentation device processes the transcoded video data received from the place-shifting devices to reconstruct the particular video program in accordance with a native format and a specified display resolution of the video presentation device, and presents the reconstructed video content to a user.
