Method of and device for changing an output rate

摘要

This invention relates to a method and system for changing an output rate of information for a buffer ( 3 ) with a constant first output rate (R 1 ) which receives output data from a data source ( 2 a), where the method step comprises; halting the reception of output data from the data source ( 2 a); outputting ( 4 ) the stored output data of the buffer ( 3 ) at the first output rate (R 1 ) until said buffer is empty, and resuming receiving and storing of output data in the buffer ( 3 ); setting a second constant output rate (R 2 ) as the output rate of the buffer; and commencing/starting output of the content of the buffer at the second output rate (R 2 ) when the amount of buffered data is equal to the second constant output rate (R 2 ) times a requested buffer-time (TB 2 ).
