    摘要: A transmitted high definition television signal is represented by a packetized datastream configured as a sequence of data fields with a non-uniform data rate due to different types of different duration non-data overhead information. Each data field is prefaced by a Field Sync overhead segment followed by 312 packetized data segments each with associated overhead information. At a transmitter, a transport processor forms data packets with associated headers and exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate, while supplying a packetized datastream to a network which constructs sequential data fields by inserting the non-data overhead information into the datastream. The transport processor is advantageously operated at a constant uniform data rate without having to modify the original data field structure to accommodate the needs of the data field construction network. This result is facilitated by transferring data from the transport processor to an associated interface/buffer network in response to a 3/8 symbol clock, in combination with a predetermined buffer fullness level. A counterpart transport processor/decoder at a receiver coacts with a data field processor and similarly exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate.

    摘要: A system of the present invention addresses the difficulty of aligning a reference sync byte at the beginning of a data packet during situations where the system experiences severe problems such as arbitrary resets/restarts or transmission disturbances. Specifically, the sync byte at the beginning of the data packet is automatically aligned with the beginning of a data acquisition interval when data is requested, even when there are arbitrary system resets/restarts. The alignment of the first data packet following a system reset is facilitated by the use of a Start Of Packet flag concurrent with the reference byte, together with a controlled logic network.

    摘要: A transmission processor (16) receives an input packetized datastream (FIGS. 6-9; FIGS. 15-18 signal A) containing packets of data bytes including MPEG coded video information. The transmission processor outputs a symbol datastream (FIGS. 15-18 signal F) representing a sequence of data fields (FIG. 1) comprising groups of data segments (X) with an associated field sync segment. The transmission processor inserts overhead information. e.g., FEC error coding information, into each data segment, and inserts the longer duration field sync overhead segment between groups of data field segments. The frequency of the transmission processor input byte clock (SC/2, FIG. 6; FIG. 15) an integer sub-multiple of an output symbol clock (SC) frequency. The input datastream exhibits constant uniform inter-packet data gaps and a constant uniform data rate, thereby facilitating the seamless insertion of the field sync overhead segment into the datastream without interrupting the datastream. Similar but inverse processing occurs at a receiver.

    摘要: A transmitted high definition television signal is represented by a packetized datastream configured as a sequence of data fields (FIG. 1) with a non-uniform data rate due to unequal inter-data overhead information intervals. Each data field is prefaced by a Field Sync overhead segment followed by 312 packetized data segments each with associated overhead information (FEC). At a transmitter (FIG. 33), a transport processor (14) forms data packets with associated headers and exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate, while supplying a packetized datastream to a network (17) which constructs sequential data fields by inserting the non-data overhead information into the datastream. The transport processor is advantageously operated at a constant uniform data rate without having to modify the original data field structure to accommodate the needs of the data field construction network. This result is facilitated by transferring data from the transport processor to an associated interface/buffer network (46) in response to a 3/8 symbol clock, in combination with a predetermined buffer fullness level. Specifically, a video recorder/playback device (15) receives a constant uniform data rate packetized datastream from the transport processor, and outputs a constant uniform data rate datastream to the interface/buffer network. A counterpart transport processor/decoder (86) at a receiver (FIG. 34) coacts with a data field processor (75) and similarly exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate. A video recorder/playback device (85) receives a constant uniform data rate datastream from an interface/buffer (84) after removal of overhead information, and outputs a constant uniform data rate datastream to the transport decoder.
