Abstract

Individual time stamp data inputs generated by different viewers of a broadcast or other video output are used to identify parts of the video data to be used to generate a sequence of video clips or “highlights”. The individual time stamps for each event are aggregated to generate a single marker flag (93) for each event, defined for example as the median (95) (or some other point) in the distribution (90) of time stamps.
