Abstract
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) video data is separated into first data and second data. A first signal is formed based on the first data. A second signal is formed based on the second data. The first signal is transported via a first Optical Carrier 3 (OC-3) channel. The second signal is transported via a second OC-3 channel.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- separating a frame of Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) video data into a first subframe and a second subframe, wherein the first subframe comprises even lines of active video and the second subframe comprises odd lines of active video;
- transporting a first signal that has been formed based on the first subframe via a first Optical Carrier 3 (OC-3) channel;
- and
- transporting a second signal that has been formed based on the second subframe via a second OC-3 channel.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions to direct a processor to perform the acts of:
- separating a frame of Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) video data into a first subframe and a second subframe, wherein the first subframe comprises even lines of active video and the second subframe comprises odd lines of active video;
- transporting a first signal that has been formed based on the first subframe via a first Optical Carrier 3 (OC-3) channel;
- and
- transporting a second signal that has been formed based on the second subframe via a second OC-3 channel.
A video processor operative to separate Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) video data into first data and second data, the video processor comprising:
- a first ATM adaptation layer (AAL) operative to form a first signal based on the first data and to couple the first signal to a first Optical Carrier 3 (OC-3) channel, and
- a second AAL operative to form a second signal based on the second data and to couple the second signal to a second OC-3 channel.
