Belden. has been granted a patent for a system that dynamically delivers media content to client devices. The method involves receiving media access requests, generating essence files with specific byte ranges, and executing processing functions to transcode or transform the media before delivery, all while concealing the media’s form and location.

Dynamic media essence delivery system for client devices
The patent US12072850B2 outlines a method and system for dynamically providing media essence to client devices through a virtual file system (VFS). The process begins with the VFS receiving a media access request that specifies a range of media content and its desired format. The VFS then generates an essence containing file, which includes a file name and extension that identify the byte ranges of the requested media. This file is dynamically built to incorporate multiple application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow access to the specified byte ranges. Additionally, the VFS imposes a structure on the file to define processing functions, such as transcoding or transforming the media content, which are executed before the media is delivered to the client device.
The system is designed to enhance the efficiency of media delivery by hiding the form and location of the media essence from the client while providing the necessary grains and flows. It includes features such as the ability to offload processing functions to remote computing devices, support for various media formats (e.g., MXF, JPEG, PNG, WAV), and the capability to dynamically replace portions of the media access request with identifiers that specify the source location of the content. Furthermore, the VFS can generate a pre-queue for capturing content scheduled at live events, ensuring that the media essence is readily available for client access. This innovative approach aims to streamline media distribution and enhance user experience by providing tailored content delivery solutions.
