Techniques for automated data record generation from live programs

Abstract:

Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for automatically generating a recorded version of a live video program. A live program extraction application executing on a live program extraction system receives an automation list associated with the live video program from a traffic and automation system and an integration message associated with the live video program from an integration control system. The live program extraction application generates a first data entry that includes a timecode based on at least one of the automation list and the integration message. The live program extraction application stores the first data entry into a data record associated with the live video program. The live program extraction application transmits the data record to a broadcast system. The broadcast system automatically replaces a portion of the recorded version of the live video program based on the timecode included in the first data entry.
