The content system 202 may comprise a transcoder 206 configured to receive and transcode (e.g., encode, decode, encrypt, decrypt, compress, decompress) content from at least one of the one or more content sources. For example, high quality content may be transcoded into multi-bitrate content. A pre-packager 208 may receive the transcoded content from the transcoder 206. The pre-packager 208 may convert the transcoded content into a common format (e.g., MPEG-DASH, or similar). A recorder 210 may record and/or store content (e.g., for processing, for later access by users). Services 212 may receive content and provide a variety of services, such as authentication, device synchronization, cloud distribution, and/or the like. A packager 214 may be configured as a just-in-time-packager configured to package content in response to a request for content from the user device 204. The packager 214 may package the content in a format supported by the user device 204, apply digital rights management, and/or the like. For example, the packager 214 may convert video into proprietary formats, such as Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) for video playback on a variety of devices and applications, such as mobile, browser, and internet protocol (IP) set-top devices.

The system 200 may comprise a blackout manager 216 configured to manage blackout information. The blackout manager 216 may be configured to receive blackout schedules, blackout metadata, and/or the like for a plurality of content channels (e.g., live content channels). The blackout information may indicate content to block, a channel to block the content, a region to block the content, a time to block the content, a combination thereof and/or the like.
