System and method for providing audio-visual programming with alternative content
First Claim
1. A system for presenting audio-video programming with alternative content, comprising:
- a first input port for receiving a first signal containing at least one audio-video program, the at least one audio-video program having at least one default component associated therewith;
a second input port for receiving a selected alternative content stream, the selected alternative content stream selected from a plurality of available alternative content streams;
a first output port for transmitting a modified audio-video program to an output device; and
at least one controller in communication with the first input port, the second input port and the first output port;
the at least one controller operative to (i) synchronize the at least one audio-video program and the selected alternative content stream to form the modified audio-video program and (ii) transmit the modified audio-video program via the first output port.

Abstract
A system for presenting audio-video programming with alternative content comprises a first input port for receiving a first signal containing at least one audio-video program, the at least one audio-video program having at least one default component associated therewith and a second input port for receiving a selected alternative content stream, the selected alternative content stream selected from a plurality of available alternative content streams. The system further comprises a first output port for transmitting a modified audio-video program to an output device, and at least one controller in communication with the first input port, the second input port and the first output port. The at least one controller is operative to (i) synchronize the at least one audio-video program and the selected alternative content stream to form the modified audio-video program and (ii) transmit the modified audio-video program via the first output port.

11. A method for modifying and presenting audio-video content, comprising:
-
receiving a first signal containing at least one audio-video program, the at least one audio-video program having at least one default audio track associated therewith; receiving a selection of an alternative content stream, the selected alternative content stream selected from a plurality of available alternative content streams; receiving the selected alternative content stream; synchronizing the at least one audio-video program and the selected alternative content stream to form a modified audio-video program; transmitting the modified audio-video program to an output device; and presenting the modified audio-video program via the output device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for modifying audio-video content, comprising:
-
receiving a first signal containing at least one audio-video program, the at least one audio-video program having at least one of a video component, an audio component, a graphical component and a textual component; receiving and storing on a server a plurality of available alternative content streams, each of the alternative content streams associated with the at least one audio-video program, each of the alternative content streams having at least one of a video component, an audio component, a graphical component and a textual component; selecting an alternative content stream from the plurality of available alternative content streams; receiving the selected alternative content stream; synchronizing the at least one audio-video program and the selected alternative content stream to form a modified audio-video program; and transmitting the modified audio-video program to an output device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
