摘要:
A data transport system for transporting data between a server (21) and a client receiver (27) over a network (23) includes a receiving proxy cache (25) coupled to a client receiver (27) via a reliable connection (29), such as a cable connection. The majority of data is transported from the server (21) to the receiving proxy cache (25) over an efficient data transmission channel (41). The receiving proxy cache (25) verifies the status of the data transmitted over the efficient channel (41). If there is an error in the data transmission, a portion of the data associated with the error is retransmitted from the server (21) to the receiving proxy cache (25) over a reliable data transmission channel (43). The complete data at the receiving proxy cache (25) is delivered to a client receiver (27) over a reliable connection (29).

Apparatus and methods for efficiently operating on RAID systems. A fast access buffer comprising an off-disk fast access memory module supports RAID operations such as recovery or reconfiguration operations, thereby minimizing or reducing the need for on-disk destructive zones and/or reducing disk drive I/O activities. In some cases the fast access memory module to serves as a read/write cache, reducing the need for frequent disk accesses of a small number of data blocks. Fast off-disk memory such as RAM enables rapid operation on in-buffer data blocks. Access to the material stored in the RAID devices may be enabled, partially enabled or disabled during RAID operations involving the fast access memory module and some data access operations may be synchronized with RAID operations. In some cases, data may be served from the fast access memory module, thereby providing rapid access to material stored in a RAID device during RAID operations.

Systems and methods for deploying two-way data communication over a one-way infrastructure are disclosed. An end user enters a control command into an input device that is capable of sending data containing the control command over a network to a content service provider. The content service provider adjusts the end user's output stream in accordance with the end user's control command. The adjusted output stream is distributed to the output display device. Further features are disclosed such as providing content descriptive metadata to the input device and/or the output display device.

The present invention provides efficient methods for performing motion compensation. The methods are particularly useful during motion compensation based decoding and recoding. In one aspect, motion compensation in accordance with the present invention improves on-chip memory usage. This is done by creating and storing a reference window in the on-chip memory. The reference window is constructed such that the reference frame portions required for motion compensation of a current frame are contained within the reference window and in the on-chip memory with a high frequency. In another aspect, selective methods are provided to recode compressed video data. The methods selectively apply re-quantization and motion compensation to the residual error between frames of the bitstream based on the amount of motion in the video data.
