    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for operating a transport stream encoder to produce a stream of packets carrying data representing a plurality of component signals which comprises the following steps. The packet stream is partitioned into successive groups, each group containing a predetermined number of packet slots. A plurality of priority lists is maintained, one for each of the packet slots in the group. Each priority list contains a plurality of entries, and each entry identifies one of the component signals. When a packet slot is to be produced, the entries in the priority list corresponding to that packet slot are traversed, one at a time. For each of those entries it is determined whether the component signal identified by that entry can produce a packet. If it can, a packet containing data representing that component signal is produced. Only if none of the component signals identified by the entries in the priority list can produce a packet is a null packet produced.

    摘要: A digital information receiver having a single oscillator providing a clock signal to the receiver circuitry. The receiver contains, in addition to the oscillator, an input signal processor, a symbol timing loop, a demodulator, a transport decoder, a transport timing loop, one or more applications decoders and a presentation device. The input signal processor digitizes an input signal and resamples the input signal using an interpolator such that the input signal is optimally sampled. The resampling is controlled by a symbol timing loop. In a first embodiment, the transport timing loop controls the frequency of the oscillator using transmitter timing information contained in the received signal. In a second embodiment, the oscillator is a free running oscillator and the transport timing loop controls a numerically controlled counter that, in turn, controls presentation timing of the information carried by the information in the input signal. After the input signal is decoded, an output interpolator generates continuous signals from somewhat bursty signals for utilization by the presentation device.

    摘要: A method for seamlessly splicing a local commercial segment into an existing network time slot, without decoder buffer overflow or underflow. The vbv_delay of the commercial segment is manipulated (e.g., for a minimum delay or a maximum delay). The pictures from the commercial segment are output for at least a portion of the associated network time slot duration. A determination is made regarding the number of pictures remaining in a stored portion of the incoming network feed or the commercial segment and the output rate is adjusted as required. The vbv_delay of the stored network feed or the vbv_delay of the local commercial segment is adjusted to match the vbv_delay of the incoming network feed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining the value of a sample having a particular position in an ordered ranking, by magnitude, of a set of digital samples includes means for truncating the lesser significant bits of the samples. Further means compares the values of the truncated samples and generates selection control signals indicating the truncated sample which is in the desired position of an ordered ranking of the truncated samples. A function generator then generates a function of the samples, corresponding to the selected truncated samples.
