Filed:

Jan 14, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/341878

Inventors:

Carl V. Bader - Downingtown PA, US
Robert P. Clemens - West Chester PA, US
Thomas D. Metcalf - Philadelphia PA, US

Assignee:

Aviom, Inc. - West Chester PA

International Classification:

G06F 11/00
H03M 13/00

US Classification:

714701, 714800

Abstract:

A data transmission and distribution system that includes a series of payloads, where each of the payloads is formed from bits of audio or video information, and where different levels of protection are applied to different sets of bits in each payload. The system divides the bits associated with each payload into high priority bits and low priority bits and forms a group of check bits for each payload by applying an error correction algorithm to the high priority bits in the payload. The system also forms each payload from a first set of the high priority bits, the check bits, the low priority bits and a redundant set of the high priority bits and the check bits and transmits the payloads formed from the first set of the high priority bits, the check bits, the low priority bits and the redundant set of the high priority bits and the check bits.

US Classification:

709208, 370278, 370389, 709203, 714748, 714 48, 714 53

Abstract:

Methods for synchronously transmitting control data from a first device to a second device in a streaming data network and for transferring non-addressed data through a streaming data network are disclosed. A first device may insert an identifier identifying a second device into data packets transmitted over a streaming data network. A first acknowledgement may be received from the second device at the first device. At least a portion of the control data may be inserted into the data packets at least until a second acknowledgement is received at the first device. The previous step may be repeated with additional portions of the of the control data until all control data has been transmitted to the second device. The identifier may then be removed from the data packets at least until a third acknowledgment is received at the first device.

H04L012/56
H04J003/04

US Classification:

370/395420, 370/535000

Abstract:

A data transmission and distribution system that includes a series of payloads. Each of the payloads is formed from samples of audio or video information. The system interleaves the audio or video samples in each payload where no two consecutive samples are lost upon a loss of an entire frame of the interleaved samples.

International Classification:

US Classification:

370458000, 370466000

Abstract:

Methods and systems for forming data packets from a plurality of devices are disclosed. A first data slot may be assigned to a device that receives first data from its input interface. A second data slot may be assigned to a second device that receives second data from its input interface. The first data and the second data may be converted into different or similar digital formats. A packet, including the converted first data in the first data slot may be transmitted from the first device and received at the second device. The second device may update the packet to include the converted first data in the first data slot and the converted second data in the second data slot. The second device may then transmit the updated packet. A device may copy, convert and transmit data from either data slot via an output interface associated with the device.
