SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELIMINATING MALFORMED PACKETS IN A MULTIMEDIA-CONTENT DIGITAL TRANSPORT STREAM

摘要

A multimedia-source system comprises a reconstruction block for counting the units of an incoming digital packet intended to comply with a digital transport stream standard, the digital transport stream standard requiring fixed-length digital packets with each digital packet containing a standard number of units, to determine at least if the unit count matches the standard number of units; and a packet transfer block coupled to the reconstruction block for transferring the digital packet to a multimedia destination if the reconstruction block determines that the unit count matches the standard number of units.
