Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for the rendering of contents communicated between devices. A source device processes a video sequence and transmits it to a target device together with metadata including rendering directives. At the target device, the received video sequence is rendered according to the rendering directives. Rendering is affected by events detected by the target device at the time of rendering or by the target device's information. Transparency masks, generated by the source device, are transmitted in an alpha channel to the target device, and are used for blending the video sequence with a secondary content.
