Content Splicing for RTP Sessions
Abstract
Content splicing is a process that replaces the content of a main
multimedia stream with other multimedia content and delivers the
substitutive multimedia content to the receivers for a period of
time. Splicing is commonly used for insertion of local
advertisements by cable operators, whereby national advertisement
content is replaced with a local advertisement.
This memo describes some use cases for content splicing and a set of
requirements for splicing content delivered by RTP. It provides
concrete guidelines for how an RTP mixer can be used to handle
content splicing.

1. Introduction
This document outlines how content splicing can be used in RTP
sessions. Splicing, in general, is a process where part of a
multimedia content is replaced with other multimedia content and
delivered to the receivers for a period of time. The substitutive
content can be provided, for example, via another stream or via local
media file storage. One representative use case for splicing is
local advertisement insertion. This allows content providers to
replace national advertising content with their own regional
advertising content prior to delivering the regional advertising
content to the receivers. Besides the advertisement insertion use
case, there are other use cases in which the splicing technology can

be applied, for example, splicing a recorded video into a video
conferencing session or implementing a playlist server that stitches
pieces of video together.
Content splicing is a well-defined operation in MPEG-based cable TV
systems. Indeed, the Society for Cable Telecommunications Engineers
(SCTE) has created two standards, [SCTE30] and [SCTE35], to
