Abstract
A system and method to effectively compensate for delays in an electronic interconnect comprises a controller that initially schedules a first transmission from a first talker device to several listener devices. The controller then schedules a second talker device to pre-roll a second transmission and selectively routes the second transmission to compensate for delays introduced by components of said electronic interconnect to thereby provide a seamless transmission stream to the several listeners.
Claims43
A system for providing a continuous transmission stream in an electronic interconnect, comprising:
- a first talker coupled to a first bus in said electronic interconnect for initially broadcasting a first transmission to one or more listeners;
- a second talker coupled to a second bus in said electronic interconnect through a delay element for subsequently broadcasting a second transmission to said one or more listeners;
- and
- a controller coupled to said electronic interconnect for routing said first transmission and second transmission to compensate for said delay element and thereby form said continuous transmission stream.
A system for providing a continuous transmission stream in an electronic interconnect, comprising:
- a first talker coupled to said electronic interconnect for initially broadcasting a first transmission to one or more listeners;
- a second talker coupled to said electronic interconnect through a delay element for subsequently broadcasting a second transmission to said one or more listeners, said delay element including a bus bridge device that couples a first bus to a second bus in said electronic interconnect;
- and
- a controller coupled to said electronic interconnect for routing said first transmission and second transmission to compensate for said delay element and thereby form said continuous transmission stream.
A system for providing a continuous transmission stream in an electronic interconnect, comprising:
- a first talker coupled to said electronic interconnect for initially broadcasting a first transmission to one or more listeners;
- a second talker coupled to said electronic interconnect through a delay element for subsequently broadcasting a second transmission to said one or more listeners, said electronic interconnect including a first bus coupled to a second bus through a bus bridge, said first talker and a first listener being on said first bus, and said second talker and a second listener being on said second bus;
- and
- a controller coupled to said electronic interconnect for routing said first transmission and second transmission to compensate for said delay element and thereby form said continuous transmission stream.
A method for providing a continuous transmission stream in an electronic interconnect, comprising the steps of:
- broadcasting a first transmission to one or more listeners using a first talker coupled to a first bus in said electronic interconnect;
- broadcasting a second transmission to said one or more listeners using a second talker coupled to a second bus in said electronic interconnect through a delay element;
- and
- routing said first transmission and second transmission with a controller to compensate for said delay element and thereby form said continuous transmission stream.
A method for providing a continuous transmission stream in an electronic interconnect, comprising the steps of:
- broadcasting a first transmission to one or more listeners using a first talker;
- broadcasting a second transmission to said one or more listeners using a second talker coupled to said electronic interconnect through a delay element, said delay element including a bus bridge device that couples a first bus to a second bus in said electronic interconnect;
- and
- routing said first transmission and second transmission with a controller to compensate for said delay element and thereby form said continuous transmission stream.
A method for providing a continuous transmission stream in an electronic interconnect, comprising the steps of:
- broadcasting a first transmission to one or more listeners using a first talker;
- broadcasting a second transmission to said one or more listeners using a second talker coupled to said electronic interconnect through a delay element, said electronic interconnect including a first bus coupled to a second bus through a bus bridge, said first talker and a first listener being on said first bus, and said second talker and a second listener being on said second bus;
- and
- routing said first transmission and second transmission with a controller to compensate for said delay element and thereby form said continuous transmission stream.
A computer-readable medium containing program instructions for providing a continuous transmission stream by performing the steps of:
- broadcasting a first transmission to one or more listeners using a first talker coupled to a first bus in said electronic interconnect;
- broadcasting a second transmission to said one or more listeners using a second talker coupled to a second bus in said electronic interconnect through a delay element;
- and
- routing said first transmission and second transmission with a controller to compensate for said delay element and thereby form said continuous transmission stream.
