Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for data streaming, as well as a combination, of an apparatus (1) for data streaming and a plurality of user devices, are presented. The apparatus is adapted to receive a plurality of streaming requests, including mode requests (P11a, P11b), from a plurality of user devices (11a, 11b), the apparatus comprising a memory unit (7) adapted to store media data in the form of a plurality of payload data sets (9a, 9b), a state device (506) adapted to set a mode in accordance with each one of the mode requests (P11a, P11b), and a streaming unit (3) adapted to stream the payload data sets (9a, 9b) in accordance with the set modes. The streaming unit (3) is adapted to receive from the memory unit (7) a plurality of control data sub-sets (101a), each comprising at least two edit portions (1X, FF1, FF2... ), each comprising data corresponding to an address in the memory unit (7).

The apparatus is adapted to receive a plurality of streaming requests from a plurality of user devices (11a, 11b), the apparatus (1) comprising a control unit (6) adapted to receive media data in the form of a plurality of pay load data sets (9a, 9b) from at least one data source (8), a memory unit (7) adapted to store the payload data sets (9a, 9b), and a streaming unit (3) adapted to stream the payload data sets (9a, 9b) according to the streaming requests. The control unit (6) is adapted to pre-process the payload data sets (9a, 9b) before being stored, whereby control data sets are created, and the streaming unit (3) is adapted to stream the payload data sets (9a, 9b) using the control data sets.

The apparatus is adapted to receive media data in the form of a plurality of payload data sets (9a, 9b) from at least one data source (8) and a plurality of streaming requests from a plurality of user devices (1 1a, 1 Ib), the apparatus comprising a memory unit (7) adapted to store the payload data sets (9a. 9b), and a streaming unit (3) adapted to stream the payload data sets (9a, 9b) according to the streaming requests, the streaming unit (3) is adapted to receive a first sub-set (91a, 91b) of a payload data set (9a, 9b) from the memory unit. The streaming unit (3) is adapted to receive from the memory unit (7) a first sub-set (10 Ia. 101b) of a control data set, which first control data sub-set (101a, 101b) comprises data corresponding to a location in the memory unit (7) of a second sub-set (92a, 92b) of the payload data set (9a, 9b).
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method and an apparatus for switching data between a set of input bitstreams and a set of output bitstreams in a circuit switched time division multiplexed network, each of said bitstreams being divided into recurring frames and each of said frames being divided into time slots. According to the invention, each one of said input bitstreams is received, and frames of time slot data from said input bitstreams are temporarily stored in a set of memory means (31-34), each one of said memory means being used for storing frames of a respective bitstream of said input bitstreams. Furthermore, for each frame of each one of said output bitstreams and sequentially in accordance with the order that said time slot data are to be transmitted in the respective output frame, time slot data is selectively read from frames presently temporarily stored in said set of memory means and is then transmitted into allocated time slots of said output bitstreams.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method and an apparatus for switching data between bitstreams of a circuit switched synchronous time division multiplexing network. According to the invention, data read from a time slot of a first bitstream of said bitstreams is tagged with an identifier. For each one of at least a second and a third bitstream of said bitstreams it is then selected into which respective time slot thereof to transmit said data based upon said identifier.
