Abstract

The present invention provides multi media video streams via high speed internet to a worldwide audience by using a specialized automation system with audio and video switching capabilities. This system provides video media streams to multiple platforms such as, cell phones, internet websites, and cable television subscribers.

Claims

1. A method for producing real-time synchronized audio and video signals using an audio stream of an over-the-air radio station comprising the steps of:

a. providing real-time audio content using an audio stream transmitted over the Internet from an over-the-air broadcast of a radio station;

b. providing video content to the over-the-air broadcast of a radio station, wherein the video content comprises (i) a library of video content stored on a server (ii) live video feed of said over-the-air radio station and (iii) live video feed of a remote location corresponding to at least a portion of the audio content of the audio stream of the over-the-air radio station;

c. accessing by said over-the-air radio station at least one of (i) a library of video content stored on a server (ii) live video feed of said over-the-air radio station and (iii) live video feed of a remote location corresponding to at least a portion of the audio content of the audio stream of the over-the-air radio station;

d. processing the audio content and the corresponding video content by said over-the-air radio station to produce parallel synchronized audio and video signals in real-time to said audio stream transmitted by said over-the-air radio station; and

e. transmitting in real time the parallel synchronized audio and video signals by said over-the-air radio station, wherein the parallel synchronized audio and video signals are transmitted simultaneously over the Internet via a website associated with the over-the-air radio station.

2. A system for producing real-time synchronized audio and video signals using an audio stream of an over-the-air radio station comprising:

a. audio content from an audio stream transmitted from an over-the-air radio station;

b. video content from (i) a library of video content stored on a server (ii) live video feed of said over-the-air radio station and (iii) live video feed of a remote location corresponding to at least a portion of the audio content of the audio stream of the over-the-air radio station and

c. a processor accessed by said over-the-air radio station having access to at least one of (i) said library of video content stored on a server (ii) said live video feed of said over-the-air radio station and (iii) said live video feed of a remote location corresponding to at least a portion of the audio content from the audio stream of the over-the-air radio station, said processor producing a parallel synchronized audio and video signals in real-time from the audio content and the corresponding video content, wherein the parallel synchronized audio and video signals are transmitted simultaneously over the Internet by the over-the-air radio station via a website associated with said over-the-air radio station.

3. A library of video content for use in a system for producing real-time synchronized audio and video signals wherein audio content from an audio stream transmitted from an over-the-air radio station is processed with video content from (i) a library of video content stored on a server (ii) live video feed of said over-the-air radio station and (iii) live video feed of a remote location corresponding to at least a portion of the audio content of the audio stream of the over-the-air radio station, wherein said video content is accessed by said over-the-air radio station, said video content corresponding to at least a portion of the content of the audio stream of said over-the-air radio station to produce parallel synchronized audio and video signals in real-time from the audio content and the corresponding video content, wherein the parallel synchronized audio and video signals are transmitted simultaneously over the Internet by the over-the-air radio station via a website associated with said over-the-air radio station.
