Abstract
A signal distribution method and a signal distribution apparatus are disclosed, wherein transport packets of a television signal containing multiplexed channels are provided in a transmission format of a digital broadcasting standard, and such transport packets are transmitted and distributed over a synchronous network. Transmission rate (data speed) of the transport packets of a given customer in the synchronous network is selectable based on the number of multiplexed channels for the customer.
Claims18
A signal distribution method by which transport packets of a television signal that is multiplexed with a plurality of channels are supplied in a transmission format of a digital broadcasting standard, and said transport packets are transmitted and distributed over a synchronous network, the method comprising:
- setting up a transmission rate (data speed) in said synchronous network according to the number of the multiplexed channels for each customer.
A transmission apparatus for receiving transport packets of a television signal that is multiplexed with a plurality of channels in a transmission format of a digital broadcasting standard, and transmitting and distributing said transport packets over a synchronous network, the apparatus comprising:
- transmission rate setting means for setting up a transmission rate (data speed) in said synchronous network according to the number of the multiplexed channels for each customer.
A receiving unit for receiving a signal containing transport packets for a television signal that is multiplexed with a plurality of channels in a transmission format of a digital broadcasting standard, transmission rate of said signal containing the transport packets being based on the number of the multiplexed channels for a customer from a synchronous network, comprising:
- output rate control means for controlling an output rate (data speed) by embedding one or more space codes between the transport packets extracted from the received signal.
