Abstract: A digital video recorder or similar apparatus implements a method of converting an input data stream having an MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) format into an output data stream having an MPEG-2 Program Stream (PS) format. The input data stream (TS) includes data of at least first and second elementary data streams (404, 406) formed and multiplexed in compliance with a TS decoder model. The first elementary stream is a video stream, while the second stream is an audio stream of lower data rate. The input stream is parsed (402) and the elementary streams are demultiplexed into respective FIFO queues 404/406. Each stream is further parsed to obtain and calculate time stamp information which is queued separately at (408/410) with pointers to the stream data (at 404/406). The schedule and packetisation applied to the elementary streams in the input stream (TS) cannot be applied directly in creating the output stream (PS). However, based on parameters and constraints imposed upon the input stream by the MPEG or other specifications, a remultiplexer 412 is able to reschedule and repacketise the elementary data streams into a valid output stream (TS), without the size of buffer that would be required for multiplexing of the elementary streams from scratch.

Abstract translation: 数字录像机或类似装置实现将具有MPEG-2传输流（TS）格式的输入数据流转换为具有MPEG-2节目流（PS）格式的输出数据流的方法。 输入数据流（TS）包括根据TS解码器模型形成和复用的至少第一和第二基本数据流（404,406）的数据。 第一基本流是视频流，而第二流是较低数据速率的音频流。 对输入流进行解析（402），并将基本流解复用到相应的FIFO队列404/406中。 进一步分析每个流以获得并计算在（408/410）处分别排队的时间戳信息，其中指针指向流数据（在404/406）。 应用于输入流（TS）中的基本流的调度和分组化不能直接应用于创建输出流（PS）。 然而，基于通过MPEG或其他规范对输入流施加的参数和约束，重新多路复用器412能够将基本数据流重新调度和重新分组成有效输出流（TS），而不需要缓冲器的大小 用于从头开始复用基本流。

Abstract: A data processing system comprises a cluster of devices (16) interconnected for the communication of data in streams, particularly digital audio and/or video data. One of the devices (10) is a source device for at least two data streams to be sent to one or more other devices (12, 14) as destination devices of the cluster. To enable synchronisation of the stream presentations by the destination devices, the source device (10) includes buffers (20, 22) arranged to apply a respective delay to at least one of the data streams, followed by a multiplexer (32) arranged to combine the streams into a single data stream for transmission via a first data channel (18) linking said source (10) and destination (12, 14) devices. The source device may include data processing means (34, 36) interposed in the signal path between the buffers and multiplexer.

Abstract: An active matrix electroluminescent display device (2) comprises an array of display pixels (4) arranged in rows (6) and columns (8). Each pixel (4) comprises a current-driven electroluminescent display element (10). Each row (6) of pixels (4) shares a common line (20), currents through the display elements (10) of a row (6) of pixels passing along the common line (20). The width of each common line (20) tapers from one end (20a) to the other (20b), the common line (20) being coupled to row driver circuitry at the wider end (20a). The resistance of the common lines is thus reduced at the end of the common line near to the row driver circuitry, where the current flowing is derived from all pixels within the row. The invention thereby reduces voltage drops along the common line, which contribute to cross-talk between pixels within a row.

Abstract: A digital image signal is watermarked by locally changing geometric features of the image. The watermark consists of a pseudo-random, dense subset of image pixels, e.g., a pattern of lines (20). A number of significant image pixels (21,22,23), i.e., pixels which give the highest response to a predetermined processing operation, is determined and then moved (24) to the vicinity (null) of the line pattern. As a result of this nullwarpingnull, the majority of significant image pixels (21,22) is eventually located within the vicinity of the line pattern. At the receiver end, the most significant pixels of an input image are again determined. The image is a watermarked image if a statistically high percentage lies within the vicinity of the line pattern.
