MULTISOURCE METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CODED MEDIA
MULTISOURCE METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CODED MEDIA
Enclosed are embodiments for multisource methods and systems for coded media. In some embodiments, a method comprises: at a first device: receiving media data representing a media asset; obtaining a first plurality of data elements including at least one of bitstream identification data, content-specific encode data and media segment data; encoding at least a portion of the media data in accordance with a first coding process into coded data corresponding to the media asset; generating a second plurality of data elements different from the first plurality of data elements based on information associated with the first coding process; combining the first plurality of data elements and the second plurality of data elements into one or more coded bitstreams representing the media asset; and transmitting the one or more coded bitstreams to one or more second devices using one or more network paths.
