System and method for locating a boundary point within adaptive bitrate conditioned content

摘要

A method is provided in one example and includes determining an occurrence of an exception to a predetermined cadence associated with an input stream of a profile, determining a shifted cadence based, at least in part, on the exception, receiving an indication of a key frame in the profile, determining that the key frame aligns with the shifted cadence, designating the key frame as a boundary point based, at least in part, on the shifted cadence, and communicating the boundary point.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; at least one memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
determine an occurrence of an exception to a predetermined cadence associated with an input stream of a profile;determine a shifted cadence based, at least in part, on the exception;receive an indication of a key frame in the profile;determine that the key frame aligns with the shifted cadence;designate the key frame as a boundary point based, at least in part, on the shifted cadence;communicate the boundary point;receive an indication of a different key frame in the profile;determine that the different key frame fails to align with the predetermined cadence; andpreclude a designation of the different key frame as a boundary points based, at least in part, on the predetermined cadence.
