Dynamic generation of video content for presentation by a media server
First Claim
1. A method for generating a digital video stream, comprising:
- at a media generator, generating intermediate digital content based on data that indicates what content in said digital video stream without digitizing an analog video stream;
transferring intermediate digital content to an encoder; and
at said encoder, encoding said intermediate digital content into said digital video stream.

Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for dynamically generating digital video streams without an equivalent analog stream. The apparatus includes a configuration manager. The configuration manager presents configuration options to a user. User selections are recording as user preferences. The configuration manager is coupled to a media generator, which generates intermediate digital content based upon the user preferences. The media generator may be coupled to a local storage for storing electronic audio and visual information. The intermediate digital content is transferred to an encoder, which encodes the intermediate digital content to a digital format specified by in the user preferences.

11. A computer-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for presenting dynamic content from a server to a client, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
at a media generator, generating intermediate digital content based on data that indicates what content to include in said digital video stream without digitizing an analog video stream;
transferring intermediate digital content to an encoder; and
at said encoder, encoding said intermediate digital content into said digital video stream. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
