Self-help or do-it-yourself productions of collegiate athletic contests
are generated by the originating institution, and the recorded production
is sent by overnight courier to a central digital clearing house. At the
clearing house the contents of the recording are loaded onto a computer
processor and the video and audio channels are digitally processing to
prepare the program for digital storage and retransmission. A web
transmitter processor transmits the video recordings of these events to
subscribers on demand over wide-band, high-speed Internet connections.
The content may be edited at the clearing house. The clearing house
provides a custom video player or viewer for each recorded production.
The games or meets can be selected by the subscriber, which are indexed
in categories including originating institution, type of event, and date
of event. The events may also be webcast live or near-real-time, as well
as archived.
