System for intermediating A/V stream between data network and IEEE 1394 network and method thereof

A transrecorder for receiving an A/V stream from a media server connected to a data network and for transmitting the received A/V stream to a display device connected to an IEEE 1394 network, the transrecorder comprising:

• a media storage unit for storing an A/V stream;
• a display device;
• an A/V stream request processing unit for processing a request from the display device;
• an A/V stream receiving unit for receiving the A/V stream;
• an A/V stream conversion unit for transcoding the A/V stream into an A/V stream of a format supported by the display device;
• and
• an A/V stream transmission unit for transmitting the transcoded A/V stream to the display device.

A method of intermediating an audio/video (A/V) stream, comprising:

• receiving first resources for reception and decoding of an A/V stream from a media server of a data network;
• receiving second resources for encoding and transmission of the A/V stream from a codec server of the data network;
• receiving the A/V stream from the media server;
• transcoding the A/V stream on the basis of the first and second resources received from the media server and the codec server, respectively.
