ABSTRACT:
A broadcast data server enables broadcast of multiple data configurations. The broadcast data server maintains configuration definitions that define how broadcast data may be configured for presentation to a viewer. The broadcast data server also maintains region definitions that identify regions that may be associated with client devices for receiving broadcast data. The configuration definitions are mapped to region definitions, enabling a client device in a particular region to selectively receive broadcast data according to any one of multiple data configurations that are associated with the particular region.
