MODEM FRONT-END APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A method and apparatus for recovering a second transport stream included within a first transport stream and reducing timing anomaly imparte d to the second transport stream within the context of a front-end device subject to random access via a data bus, illustratively a PCl bus. A first transport stream is received from a transport medium, the first transport stream havin g disposed therein packets associated with a second transport stream. The firs t medium tending to impart jitter to the first transport stream. Those packets associated with the second transport stream are extracted from the first transport stream and adapted to reduce jitter, and launched via a second transport medium, the launched adapted packets forming a jitter-reduced second transport stream.
