<p>A method of delivering video over a network (fig. 1) includes separating the digitally compressed video signal into multiple sub-signals (fig. 1, item 21), coding each of the sub-signal (fig.1, item 20), transmitting each of the sub-signals over asynchronous transfer mode paths (fig. 1, item 10), receiving each sub-signals (fig. 1, item 22), and selecting certain of the sub-signals according to a bandwidth suitable for subsequent reception over a digital subscriber line path (fig. 1, item 12). Preferably, the step of combining selectie ones of the sub-signals is based on a data rate capacity of the digital subscriber line path (fig. 1, item 12) for subsequent transmission. the bandwidth of the sub-signals selected is supported by the data rate of the digital subscriber line path.</p> |
