Method for arranging compressed video data for transmission over a noisy communication channel

摘要

A digital compressed video signal transmission system includes a transport processor for segmenting (105, 115) compressed data into transport cells for transmission. Particular portions of the compressed data are formatted (110, 120, 125) into further transport cells, which further transport cells are interspersed with normally occurring transport cells. The further transport cells include redundant video signal data which may be utilized to resynchronize a compressed video signal decoder after loss or corruption of transmitted data. <IMAGE>
