An interface, e. g. , a modem-like interface for converting a digital information signal into an analog signal for use within an analog television studio infrastructure. Namely, the present invention employs a novel modulator that conveys compressed video data into analog video lines by creating an analog âvideoâ signal that contains video gray-scale levels which correspond to digital data values, instead of containing an image.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for splicing a first information stream into a second information stream to produce an output information stream containing compressed digital data. The first and second information streams are synchronized using a common timing reference, thereby avoiding temporal discontinuity errors in an information stream decoder.
