    Abstract: A system for managing bandwidth in a content distribution system is provided. The system can be incorporated into the content head end of the content distribution system. The system includes a program multiplexer, a multi-channel modulating module, a channel multiplexer, a digital-to-analog converter and a frequency block-up converter, all arranged in a sequential configuration. Packets representing respective content programs are fed to the program multiplexer. The program multiplexer multiplexes the packets into an output queue. How the packets are multiplexed by the program multiplexer into the output queue depends on the specific design and/or application. Packets from the output queue are then fed to the multi-channel modulating module. The multi-channel modulating module receives the packets and routes them to various modulators representing corresponding RF channels. The various modulators then modulate the respective packets to generate corresponding RF signals. These RF signals are then multiplexed by the channel multiplexer into a multi-channel RF signal. The multi-channel RF signal is then forwarded to the digital-to-analog converter for conversion into an analog, multi-channel RF signal. The frequency block-up converter then takes the analog multi-channel RF signal and shifts its to a higher frequency band for transmission. The shifted analog multi-channel RF signal is then transmitted over a medium to one or more customer premises equipment.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing high-speed multi-channel forward error correction using external DDR SDRAM is provided. According to one exemplary aspect, an interleaver/deinterleaver performs both read and write accesses to the DDR SDRAM that are burst-oriented by hiding active and precharge cycles in order to achieve high data rate operations. The interleaver/deinterleaver accesses data in the DDR SDRAM as read blocks and write blocks. Each block includes two data sequences. Each data sequence further includes a predetermined number of data words to be interleaved/deinterleaved. The PRECHARGE and ACTIVE command for one data sequence is issued when a preceding data sequence is being processed. Data in one read/write data sequence has the same row address within the same bank of the DDR SDRAM.

    Abstract: Error correction coding across multiple channels is provided in multi-channel transmission systems. Specifically, redundancy is provided by selecting a portion of original data from each of a plurality of original channels, performing at least one encoding operation using the portions of original data to produce at least one portion of redundancy data, including the portion of redundancy data in at least one redundancy channel, and transmitting the redundancy channel along with the original channels. Error correction is achieved by receiving at least one redundancy channel and a plurality of original channels, selecting a portion of redundancy data from the redundancy channel, selecting a portion of original data from each of the original channels, and performing at least one decoding operation using the portion of redundancy data and the portions of original data to correct at least one error in the portions of original data.

    Abstract: A system for facilitating high-speed access and recording is provided. The system includes a demodulator, an buffer memory and a hard disk. During a write cycle, the demodulator is used to receive one or more content streams. The content streams received by the demodulator are first stored in the buffer memory. When the buffer memory has reached its storage capacity, its contents are then transferred to the hard disk for storage. During a read cycle, contents from the hard disk are read and then stored in the buffer memory. Other components of the system can then access the read-out contents from the buffer memory. The amount of contents retrieved from the hard disk and stored in the buffer memory may be more than what is requested depending on the application requesting the contents. The hard disk further includes different zones. There are two types of zones, namely, high-speed zone and random-access zone. The two different types of zones allow for a number of operating modes, namely, the high-speed mode, the random-access mode and the buffer-cleaning mode. In the high-speed mode, contents from the buffer memory are transferred to the high-speed zone in a continuous manner regardless of the nature or classification of the contents. In the random-access mode, contents from the buffer memory are respectively transferred to the appropriate locations in the random-access zone based on the nature or classification of the contents. In the buffer-cleaning mode, contents stored in the high-speed zone are transferred to appropriate locations in the random-access zone based on the nature or classification of the contents.

    Abstract: Efficient synchronization techniques that support multiple reference clocks in an EQAM device. Consider a plurality of different modulators in the EQAM device receiving data from a corresponding plurality of different sources having corresponding different timing references (i.e., different source reference clocks). To accommodate this, the modulators all operate using a common system clock, and each modulator is provided with a phase synchronizer. The phase synchronizer synchronizes the modulated symbol phases to the corresponding reference clock.
