SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FAST CHANNEL CHANGING

The present disclosure is generally directed to mitigating decoding and rendering delay experienced during channel change operations. In particular, the techniques provided herein use a first stream of content with a relatively low group of pictures (GOP) length as a temporary content to decode and render while a second version with a relatively larger GOP length is decoded. By rendering the firststream during decoding of a second stream, the digital channel changing operation may be enhanced by rendering a version of the digital content with less delay. 提供了用于快速信道改变的系统和方法。本公开总体上涉及减轻在信道改变操作期间经历的解码和呈现延迟。特别地，本文中提供的技术在具有相对较大图像组（GOP）长度的第二版本被解码的同时，使用具有相对低的GOP长度的内容的第一流作为临时内容来解码和呈现。通过在第二流的解码期间呈现第一流，可以通过以较少的延迟呈现数字内容的版本来增强数字信道改变操作。
