A digital rack interface pod (DRIP) that is able to establish a communications link between a remote access appliance and a server having a USB port and a video port, to facilitate a keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) session between the server and the appliance. The DRIP is also able to establish a communications link between the appliance and an Ethernet port of the server that is associated with a service processor (SP) of the server. In this manner the DRIP is able to route data from the SP of the server to the appliance as well as communications from the appliance to the SP Ethernet port of the server. The DRIP is able to intelligently determine which packets of information received from the appliance are intended for the SP Ethernet port of the server and routes those packets to the SP Ethernet port of the server. The DRIP also automatically monitors and dynamically reassigns its two Ethernet ports as needed so that whichever one of its two Ethernet ports it discovers a connection with the appliance on will be the port that it continues using to communicate with the appliance.

Digital rack interface pod system and method

A video transmitter can adaptively alter its transmission rate to plural receivers which receive video via multicast transmission. While the transmitter is initially in the 'no tuning state', the need for a video tune-up state change can be determined. If so, then the state can be set to 'tuning up' and the retransmission rate can be increased. However, if &#x201c;tuning-up&#x201d; is no longer required, the state returns to the &#x201c;no tuning&#x201d; state&#x201d; Likewise, the need for a video tune down slate change can be determined and the retransmission rate can be decreased. However, if the state is set to &#x201c;tuning down&#x201d; and &#x201c;tuning down&#x201d; is no longer required, the state is set such that &#x201c;tuning down&#x201d; is no longer true and the state returns to the &#x201c;no tuning&#x201d; state.

System and method for regulating bandwidth in a multicast video transmission system

A high definition video transmitter and receiver are disclosed. The transmitter provides high definition video to a one-point receiver or to multipoint receivers. The transmission network is asynchronous and the receiver re-synchronizes the video. The transmission can be wired or wireless.
