    Abstract: A method of operating a Reliable Transmission Protocol switch node to provide an IPTV multicast. IP packets transporting an encrypted media stream are received from an IPTV Head-end. The media stream contains complete image frames. Unencrypted identifiers identifying packets containing complete image frame data are also received. The received packets are stored in a buffer, and on receipt of a request from a media renderer to provide the IPTV multicast, the packet(s) containing the last complete image frame in the media stream and all subsequent packets are sent to the media renderer.

    Abstract: A multimedia provider (100) multicasts a main multimedia stream (10) comprising a mixture of intra (12) and inter frames (14, 16, 18) and multicasts an associated auxiliary stream (20) comprising intra frames (22, 24). At least a portion of the intra frames (24) in the auxiliary stream (20) are generated based on same multimedia data as at least a portion of the inter frames (14) of the main stream (10). The provider (100) also transmits a stream information channel (30) comprising information (32, 34) descriptive of time instances of intra frames (12; 22, 24) in the main (10) and auxiliary (20) streams. This information (32, 34) allows a set top box (200) to selectively connect, in connection with session set-up and channel switch, to the main (10) or auxiliary (20) stream to receive an intra frame (12; 22, 24) with as a low delay as possible.

    Abstract translation: 多媒体提供商(100)多播包括帧内(12)和帧间(14,16,18)的混合的主多媒体流(10),并且多播包括帧内(22,24)的相关辅助流(20)。 基于与主流(10)的帧间(14)的至少一部分相同的多媒体数据来生成辅助流(20)中的帧内(24)的至少一部分。 提供者(100)还发送包括在主(10)和辅助(20)流中描述帧内(12; 22,24)的时间实例的信息(32,34)的流信息信道(30)。 该信息(32,34)允许机顶盒(200)与会话建立和信道切换有选择地连接到主(10)或辅助(20)流以接收帧内(12; 22,24)尽可能低的延迟。
