VIDEO RECEIVER ARCHITECTURE FOR DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE NETWORKS

摘要

A customer-side receiver unit (200) and method include a network interface module for receiving multiplexed information in the form of one or more of voice, audio, visual and data from a head-end network. A transport layer termination entity terminates layers of protocol associated with the information. A transport converter (104) is coupled to the transport layer termination entity to convert streaming data in the information to a format usable by a local network. A dedicated stream port (120) is coupled to the transport converter (104 )to output the streaming data content to the local network.
