Abstract
A system and method for allowing an end-user to control a display of a media unit sequence by filtering a media unit sequence from a multiplexed sequence comprising a live media unit sequence and a plurality of delayed media unit sequences. The method includes the steps of: (1) Receiving a live media unit sequence. (2) Delaying the live media unit sequence by a plurality of delay periods thereby providing a delayed media unit sequence for each of said plurality of delay periods. (3) Modifying each delayed media unit sequence such that each delayed media unit sequence is distinguishable from another delayed media unit sequence and from the live media unit sequence. (4) Multiplexing the live media unit sequence and the plurality of delayed media unit sequences to generate a multiplexed sequence. (5) Transmitting the multiplexed sequence to at least one end user.
