System and Methods for Video and Audio Data Distribution

摘要

Data compression and decompression methods for compressing and decompressing data based on an actual or expected throughput (bandwidth) of a system. In one embodiment, a controller tracks and monitors the throughput (data storage and retrieval) of a data compression system and generates control signals to enable/disable different compression algorithms when, e.g., a bottleneck occurs so as to increase the throughput and eliminate the bottleneck.

1. A system for compressing data, comprising:
a plurality of data compression encoders, at least one data compression encoder among the plurality of data compression encoders being configured to utilize an asymmetric data compression; and a processor configured:
to determine one or more parameters, attributes, or values of the data from at least a portion of a data block containing video or audio data;to select one or more data compression encoders among the plurality of data compression encoders based upon the determined one or more parameters, attributes, or values and a throughput of a communications channel; andto perform data compression with the selected one or more data compression encoders on at least the portion of the data block.
