HARDWARE FILTERING OF INPUT PACKET IDENTIFIERS FOR AN MPEG RE-MULTIPLEXER

摘要

An input filter for use in a re-multiplexing module to process input packet data, includes an input interface that receives the input packet data, an input processor that is designed to write data to a packet buffer, and a packet identifier table containing PID values for filtering the input packet data. The input filter is implemented as hardware, thereby eliminating the limitations encounted in software filtering of data packets.
