Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for delivering video content to subscribers comprises capturing a video record comprising video content, analysis the captured video record to produce markers identifying events in the content thereof, editing the captured video record to produce a series of video clips each pertaining to one or more events identified by the markers, and converting the video clips into data in a format suitable for transmission over a network. The thus produced data representing the converted video clips and data representing the markers is stored on a server, as is a record of subscriptions by subscribers. At a user interface a subscriber can select video content from the video record by identifying events therein. When a selection is made the selected video data is read from the server with reference to the marker data, is encrypted and is sent over a network to the user interface. The subscriber's record of subscription is checked and, depending on the subscription, decryption data is sent to the user interface to enable the transmitted encrypted video data to be decrypted for display of the selected video content at the user interface.
