REMOTE RE-MULTIPLEXING OF TRANSPORT STREAMS

摘要

In one method embodiment, receiving at a first re-multiplexer and a second re-multiplexer a first indexed transport stream, the first re-multiplexer physically located at a location separate from the second re-multiplexer; receiving a helper transport stream, the helper transport stream comprising information about a set of operations associated with a previous re-multiplexing operation; re-multiplexing the first indexed transport stream at the first and second re-multiplexers based on the information; and generating by the first and second re-multiplexers a second transport stream and a third transport stream, respectively, the second transport stream identical to the third transport stream and different than the first indexed transport stream.
