A host device interfacing with a point of deployment (POD) and a method of processing broadcast data

摘要

A host device interfacing with a point of deployment(POD) and method of processing broadcasting data are disclosed. An IP physical interface unit receives a frame including an internet protocol(IP) packet carrying broadcast data through a network modem. A routing engine routs the frame based on a destination information included in the frame. An IP to TS Decapsulator extracts a MPEG-2 TS packet from the IP packet included in the routed frame. And a multiplexer augments the extracted MPEG-2 TS packet with Packet Header carrying an identification information, multiplexes the augmented MPEG-2 TS packet and forwards the multiplexed MPEG-2 TS to the POD.
