Abstract: A video processing personalization system or server (VPPS) coupled to at least one source of video and audio content and to at least one end user unit for providing a personalized perspective of a broadcast event. The VPPS includes a receiver for receiving composite video signals representing more than one than one perspective of the broadcast program. An input receives signals representing a selection of at least one of the perspectives of the broadcast program; and a transmitter presents the selected perspective or perspectives to an end user. The VPPS can be implemented at various points along the distribution route from the source to the user (viewer). This represents a new business model for content distribution.
