| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a device or matrix which can be used indiscriminately and intelligently to direct data flows ( 1 ) generated by various sources ( 2 ) towards one or more destination devices ( 3 ), the latter forming sources of new data flows, in a common interface environment ( 4 ). According to the invention, (i) source ( 2 ) refers to a tuner or another data transfer device capable of generating an MPEG-2 (Motion Picture Expert Group) data flow and compatibles, and (ii) destination device ( 3 ) refers to removable or integrated devices ( 5 ) within the system, which are capable of filtering, transforming or regenerating the contents of the original incoming flow, or devices which receive the resulting data flows ( 6 ). The purpose of the invention is to enable the indiscriminate routing of data from different sources ( 2 ) through the filtering modules ( 5 ) within one system ( 4 ), such that more than one application associated with the system can be handled simultaneously. The invention is suitable for digital video/television reception systems and video recording and display equipment.
