Methods and apparatus to reduce channel switching time. A method for channel switching includes bundling entitlement control messages (ECMs) to generate bundled ECMs that comprise decryption keys associated with a first content channel and one or more additional content channels, respectively, and transmitting the bundled ECMs with the first content channel. An apparatus for channel switching includes key acquisition logic configured to receive bundled ECMs that comprise decryption keys associated with a first content channel and one or more additional content channels, respectively, processing logic configured to receive a request to render a second content channel that is part of the one or more additional content channels, and decryption logic configured to utilize a selected decryption key obtained from the bundled ECMs to decrypt the second content channel.

The present invention provides an input data control method and system for a data processing system. The system comprises at least one basic operation unit (BOU) and is used for transforming one input matrix X into data in a plurality of specified columns in an output matrix Y via an inverse discrete cosine transform procedure. The method generates and outputs a transform control signal together with the input matrix to at least one of the BOUs. A new transform control signal is generated according to the received transform control signal, and outputted together with the input matrix X, to other following BOUs. The step of generating the new transform control signals is repeated until each specific column of the output matrix Y is decoded by a corresponding BOU. A basic operation procedure is then performed, and the received input matrix is decoded to obtain the data in the specified columns corresponding to the transform control signal.

A method and system for detecting tampering of a security system component is provided. An analytic alarm indicative of potential tampering with a security system component is received. Data from at least one sensor is received. A computing device is used to analyze the analytic alarm and the data from the at least one sensor to determine whether tampering of the security system component has occurred. A qualified alarm signal is generated when the analysis of the analytic alarm and the data from the at least one sensor is indicative of tampering.

A television receiver includes an MPEG decoder for providing decoded pixel blocks. Decoded pixels are recompressed prior to storage in frame memory. In the recompression process a reference first pixel is compressed as a function of a pixel block parameter. A reconstructed reference pixel value is used in a prediction network when reconstructing remaining pixels of the pixel block prior to display. A first pixel processor accurately compresses a reference pixel which prevents the propagation of a prediction error throughout the reconstructed block.

A single channel transmission and recording system for a scanner having a multi-channel array of dectors having a single delta modulator in the transmission unit and a single delta demodulator in the receiving unit. A plurality of analog signals, such as video signals sensed by infrared detectors, are each fed to an associated channel having an associated switch circuit. A suitable switch logic generator samples the switches in successive ascending order and subsequently in successive descending order. The sampled analog signals of each channel are fed to a signal delta modulator which converts them to a serial train of digital signals. A synchronizing code generator generates a synchronizing code word which is transmitted with the serial train of digital signals to a receiving station where the serial train of digital signals is reconverted to an analog signal similar to the sampled analog signals for display on a suitable device such as a cathode ray tube. A decoder decodes the synchronizing code word to initiate the frames of scan of the cathode ray tube and a suitable counter responsive to the decoder controls the sweep of the frames of scan in accordance with the sampling of each of the channels in successive ascending order and subsequently in successive descending order.

A band-compressed delta modulated signal communication system for transmitting an information signal admitting of abrupt variations in amplitude is disclosed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention wherein delta modulating means operable at a first frequency and at a first quantizing level generates a first pulse signal representative of gradual variations in the amplitude of said information signal and pulse modulating means responsive to said delta modulating means and operable at a second frequency and at a second quantizing level generates a second pulse signal representative of abrupt variations in the amplitude of said information signal. The first and second pulse signals are transmitted to a receiving station whereat said first and second pulse signals are demodulated to derive first and second analog signals which are combined to reproduce said information signal.
