The process is characterized in that it comprises: a step of reading tags recorded together with the packets, these tags defining the instants of arrival of the data packets to be recorded, on the basis of a tagging clock (8), a step of comparing the tags with values counted (9) on the basis of a transfer clock (8) for determining the instants of transfer on the bus of the data read from the record carrier, the frequencies of operation of the said tagging and transfer clocks being such that the maximum deviation between these frequencies, added to the maximum drift of the MPEG system clock, is, in proportion to the nominal values, of the order of or less than the drift of the system clock specified in the standard. Application to the storage of MPEG data.

The invention concerns a method comprising a step which consists in comparing a label to a value counted from a transfer clock to define the transfer time on the bus of a packet read on a recording medium. The invention is characterized in that for implementing a special mode or trick mode, it further comprises the following steps: calculating a difference between two consecutive packets based on the values of recorded labels; calculating an offset value based on said difference and parameters received on the bus defining the special mode; adding said offset value to the label value of the transmitted packet to obtain a new label value defining the transfer time on the bus of the following packet to be transmitted. The invention is applicable to the storage of MPEG data.

A process for synchronizing an MPEG decoder, characterized by the process of calculating an actual instant of presentation Tpres of the video of an image, this instant relating to a local clock LSTC, further calculating an offset STOC between Tpres, being the calculated instant of presentation and the PTS label corresponding to the instant of presentation desired by the coder for the video of this image, so as to define a virtual clock VSTC=STCO+LSTC, the presentation of the video corresponding to this image being made at the PTS dates relating to the virtual clock VSTC, wherein this process relates to satellite decoders, MPEG decoders, as well, as digital TV receivers, utilizing a hard disk for recording coded data.
摘要:
A device is coupled to a first network and a second network and comprises a first storage element and a second storage element. The device stores data packets originating from the first network in the first storage element and stores data packets destined for the second network in the second storage element. In particular, the device slaves the writing of a data packet intended for the second network into the second storage element to the reading of the data packet from the first storage element so that the transfer time inside the device is constant for all the data packets.
摘要:
A process for transmitting data in a network adapted for isochronous and asynchronous transmissions and comprising a sender and at least one receiver. The process comprises the steps of: opening an isochronous transmission channel between the sender and the receiver; dispatching by the sender through the isochronous channel of a plurality of start of transmission indicator packets until reception of an acknowledgement of receipt on the part of the receiver, following the reception of the acknowledgement of receipt by the sender, dispatching by the sender through the isochronous channel of at least one payload packet; following the detection of the poor reception of a packet, dispatching by the receiver of an error message to the sender; in case of reception by the sender of an error message dispatched by the receiver, resumption of the transmission of payload data onwards of the error; dispatching by the sender through the isochronous channel of an end of message packet following the transmission of all the payload data. The invention also provides a process for receiving data comprising the steps of error detection hereinabove, from the point of view of a receiver, as well as a sending process comprising the steps of dispatching the start of transmission indicator packets and awaiting acknowledgement of receipt indicator packets, from the point of view of a sender.
