摘要： The present invention provides a balanced video distribution system, as well as corresponding methods and apparatus, which utilize feedback from the channel multiplexers as well as rate estimation and predictive rate control. Packets of a video stream are received at an input buffer. A transmission deadline is determined for the packets. A fullness level of the input buffer is also determined. A future time at which said packets can be transmitted may be estimated based on the buffer fullness level. A bit rate of the video stream can be adjusted based on the estimated future time and the transmission deadline. For example, the bit rate may be adjusted in proportion to a difference between the estimated future time and the transmission deadline.

摘要： An advanced multiplexer designed and optimized for next generation on-demand video distribution is described. Features and capabilities include auto-discovery, channel-staggering and compatibility with static Virtual Channel Tables (VCTs). The multiplexer system facilitates auto-discovery by inserting identifiers into MPTSs (Multi-Program Transport Streams). These identifiers are echoed back to the multiplexer by the client set-top thereby indicating correspondence between modulators, service groups, and clients. When modulating multiple channels, FEC frames (Forward Error Correction frames) are staggered across channels to reduce correlation and clipping in the IFFT processor.

摘要： A compressed video playback system which eliminates playback mode transition artifacts. Transitions between various playback modes are effected in such a manner that transition artifacts are eliminated by delaying playback mode transitions until appropriate frames of data are detected for propagation to the compressed video decoder. In addition, compressed video data retrieval methods are improved for supporting multi-speed playback modes in both forward and reverse directions in an optimal manner.

摘要： Virtually random and on-demand access is provided to a virtually unlimited number of subscribers by partitioning the video program into an ordered sequence of n segments and providing the subscribers concurrent access to each of the n subsequences. A data stream representative of the video program is partitioned into n subsequences, each representative of one of the n segments. The data of each of the n subsequences is organized as an ordered sequence of elements. The elements of each of the n subsequences are interleaved and the interleaved data stream is continuously transmitted over a video program distribution medium at a rate which renders the data representing each segment concurrently available to any subscriber having a receiver capable of selecting, assembling, and displaying the data of a particular segment. The data stream can be compressed prior to interleaving using one of many known video data compression standards and techniques. Data compression can be performed in real time, or iteratively using software. The interleaved data stream can be transmitted in real time, or it can be stored on a storage device such as a hard disk or optical disk for later retrieval and transmission. The interleaved data stream can be ordered using any known standard by which video data is transmitted for reconstruction and display by a receiver. Data can be inserted into the interleaved data stream to inform the receiver to which of the n segments a portion of the interleaved data stream belongs, as well as the encoding level necessary for decompression of the data and time stamps to indicate order of display.
摘要翻译：通过将视频节目划分为n个片段的有序序列并向订户提供并发访问n个子序列中的每一个，向几乎无限数量的用户提供几乎随机和按需访问。表示视频节目的数据流被划分为n个子序列，每个子序列代表n个片段之一。 n个子序列中的每个的数据被组织为有序的元素序列。 n个子序列中的每一个的元素被交织，并且交织的数据流以视频节目分发媒体的速率连续传输，该速率使表示每个片段的数据同时可用于具有能够选择，组合和显示的接收机的任何用户特定段的数据。数据流可以在使用许多已知的视频数据压缩标准和技术之一进行交织之前进行压缩。数据压缩可以实时执行，也可以迭代地使用软件。交错数据流可以实时发送，也可以存储在诸如硬盘或光盘之类的存储设备上，用于以后的检索和传输。交织的数据流可以使用任何已知的标准进行排序，通过该标准，视频数据被发送用于由接收机重构和显示。可以将数据插入到交织的数据流中，以通知接收器中交织的数据流的一部分所属的n个段中的哪一个，以及解压缩数据和时间标记以指示显示顺序所需的编码级别。

摘要： A multiple serial access memory which includes a dynamic random access memory array is disclosed. The array is randomly addressed to input blocks of data. Address signals are provided to the array to output rows of data. A plurality of serial output ports are coupled to the output of the array for selectively latching different rows of data output from the array. The serial output ports are clocked to output the latched data therefrom. In an illustrated embodiment, each of the serial output ports contains a shift register having a length equal to the width of the memory array. The shift register is responsive to a first timing signal for latching a row of data from the array. A second timing signal actuates the shift register to shift a row of latched data. The serial access selector coupled to the shift register outputs a selected portion of the shifted data from the serial output port. The serial access memory has particular application as the frame store for a motion compensated interframe image coding/decoding system.

摘要： Digital video signals are processed by a plurality of independently operating processors to provide data for transmission in a compressed, motion compensated form. A video image frame area is divided into a set of subframes. The set of subframes is systematically shifted such that the individual subframes progressively cycle across and wrap around the video image frame area. For each successive video frame, video image data bounded by each of the different subframes is independently compressed using motion estimation to reduce data redundancy among the successive frames. The motion estimation is limited for each subframe of a current video frame to areas of a previous video frame that were bounded by the same subframe in the previous frame. In an illustrated embodiment, the set of subframes is shifted once for each successive video frame, and each subframe includes a refresh region whereby the video image frame area is progressively refreshed as the subframes are shifted thereacross. Receiver apparatus for use in decoding the independently processed subframe data is also disclosed.
