Abstract

Methods and apparatus are disclosed to manage and broadcast Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) video in switched digital video (SDV) systems are disclosed. An example switched digital video (SDV) system for broadcasting and managing motion picture experts group (MPEG) Multiple Program Transport Streams (MPTSs) comprises a system manager to select program streams to be broadcasted via the SDV system, a proxy server in communication with the system manager to provide program identification information to the system manager and to receive program selection instructions from the system manager, and a SDV switch responsive to the proxy server to route program streams selected by the system manager to respective ones of a plurality of SDV broadcast engines selected by the system manager.
