摘要： According to one embodiment, methods and systems are disclosed for converting multi-media content to multiple deliverable formats using a conversion workflow. For example, a single source content file can be captured and a plurality of deliverable content files can be derived from the single source content file. Each of the plurality of deliverable content files can be in a format specific to a different distribution channel. That is, a single source media file can be used to automatically build one or more distribution files for a particular channel or channels. Furthermore, the distribution files can be built including logos, branding, open/close graphics, ratings, promo material, etc. The inclusion of these elements can be based on a common set of business rules defining, for example, what elements should be included in different types of distribution files.

摘要： According to the invention, a program delivery system for playing a plurality of video vignettes, which correspond to a plurality of video programs is disclosed. The program delivery system includes a first store, a second store a command signal. In one example, a method for selecting the types and order of video vignettes to be played can be selected. The first store holds a number of programs, where the number of video programs includes a first and second video programs. The second store holds a number of video vignettes that correspond to the number of video programs. The number of video vignettes includes a first and second video vignettes. The first video vignette promotes at least the first video program, and the second video vignette promotes at least the second video program. The command signal causes playing the first video vignette, but switches to cause playing the second video vignette when either a manual command is detected from a user or a triggering event automatically occurs.
