Abstract
Interleaving multiple streams of data using a universal services multiplexer is followed by conveying a time interleaved multiplexer stream to a remote QAM module. A universal services multiplexer interleaves multiple streams of data into a time interleaved multiplexer stream.
Claims19
A method of video distribution processing, comprising:
- interleaving multiple streams of SPTSs and MPTSs using a universal services multiplexer to form a time interleaved multiplexer stream (TIMS) of MPTSs;
- and
- conveying the time interleaved multiplexer stream in a dedicated transmission from the universal services multiplexer to a TIMS conversion unit not collocated with the universal services multiplexer, having an input buffer that accepts data from the universal services multiplexer,
- wherein the universal services multiplexer produces an MPEG output format is digitally transported to the TIMS conversion unit,
- wherein modulation of the time interleaved MPTSs into a multichannel RF signal is carried out in the TIMS conversion unit, and
- wherein all timing and rate management is conducted at the universal services multiplexer.

A system for distributing data, comprising:
- a universal services multiplexer that interleaves multiple streams of data into a time interleaved multiplexer stream (TIMS);
- and
- a TIMS conversion unit coupled to the universal services multiplexer but not collocated with the universal services multiplexer, the TIMS conversion unit having an input buffer that accepts data from the universal services multiplexer,
- wherein the universal services multiplexer produces an MPEG output format that is digitally transported in a dedicated transmission to the TIMS conversion unit,
- wherein modulation of digital data into a multichannel RF signal is carried out in the TIMS conversion unit,
- wherein the TIMS conversion unit produces a multichannel RF output, and
- wherein all timing and rate management is conducted at the universal services multiplexer.
