Estimating the term…
A method and apparatus are provided for the dynamic multiplexing of digital streams which are transmitted in the form of stream units in one channel, each of said stream units bearing a stream identifier which can be used to associate same with the corresponding digital stream. The allocation of an identifier to a digital stream is defined by an allocation table and can vary over time, in such a way as to enable dynamic multiplexing. The aforementioned allocation table bears a version number and, in order to indicate that a change in the version of the allocation table applies to a given digital stream, a burst is transmitted with at least one version change stream unit comprising the current identifier of said digital stream, an indicator which can be used to determine if the stream unit is a version change stream unit and the version number becoming applicable to said digital stream.
Dynamic multiplexing method of digital streams transmitted in the form of stream units in one channel, each of these stream units bearing a stream identifier that allows associating it to the corresponding digital stream, the allocation of an identifier to a digital stream being defined by an allocation table and being able to vary over time, in order to allow dynamic multiplexing, said allocation table bearing a version number, wherein, to indicate that a version change of said allocation table is applicable to a given digital stream, a burst is transmitted with at least one version change stream unit that includes:
Signal dynamically multiplexing of digital streams transmitted in the form of stream units in one channel, each of said stream units bearing a stream identifier that allows associating it to the corresponding digital stream, the allocation of an identifier to a digital stream being defined by an allocation table and being able to vary over time in order to allow dynamic multiplexing, said allocation table bearing a version number, wherein, to indicate that a version change of said allocation table applies to a given digital flow, it includes a burst with at least one version change stream unit that includes:
Dynamic multiplexing device of digital streams transmitted in the form of stream units in one channel, each of said stream units bearing a stream identifier that allows associating it to the corresponding digital stream, the allocation of an identifier to a digital stream being defined by an allocation table and being able to vary over time in order to allow dynamic multiplexing, said allocation table bearing a version number, wherein, to indicate that a version change of said allocation table is applicable to a given digital stream, transmitted is a burst with at least one version change stream unit that includes:
