Abstract
A system for integrating video content and data provision includes an upstream signal path to process upstream data traffic received from a first transmission network for transmission to a second transmission network, and a downstream signal path to process downstream data traffic and downstream video traffic for transmission from the second transmission network to the first transmission network. The upstream signal path includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an upstream demodulator, and the downstream signal path includes an Ethernet processor, a digital-signal-processor (DSP) and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
Claims20
A system for integrating video content and data provision, the system comprising:
- an upstream signal path configured to process upstream data traffic received from a first transmission network for transmission to a second transmission network;
- and
- a downstream signal path configured to process downstream data traffic and downstream video traffic for transmission from the second transmission network to the first transmission network,
- wherein:
- the upstream signal path includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an upstream demodulator, and
- the downstream signal path includes an Ethernet processor, a digital-signal-processor (DSP) and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
A method of integrating video content and data, the method comprising:
- configuring an upstream signal path including an ADC and an upstream demodulator to process upstream data traffic received from a first transmission network;
- configuring a downstream signal path including an Ethernet processor, a DSP and a DAC to process downstream data traffic and downstream video traffic;
- combining the processed downstream data traffic and the processed downstream video traffic to provide an analog downstream data-and-video traffic;
- and
- transmitting the analog downstream data-and-video traffic through the first transmission network.
A content distribution system comprising:
- at least one processor circuit configured to:
- process upstream data traffic received from a first transmission network through an upstream signal path for transmission to a second transmission network;
- and
- process downstream data traffic and downstream video traffic through a common downstream signal path for transmission to the first transmission network,
- where at least one of the downstream data traffic or the downstream video traffic are receivable from the second transmission network.
