CONTROL SYSTEM WITH GLOBAL CONTROL STREAM FOR CONTROLLING A PLURALITY OF DECODERS

摘要

Control system with global control stream for controlling a plurality of decoders. The control system simultaneously controls a plurality of decoders at a remote location by using a global control data stream. A global control stream is a collection of data used for global applications. There are currently three global data streams - disaster recovery, live event control, and storage control. The streams may exist on a shared or independent PID. A control server forms a transport stream and the global control stream is injected into the transport stream by the control server.
