An N:1 transcoder (,) with a compression data path that includes uncompressed digroup circuits (,, and,) each receiving N incoming uncompressed signal and extracting a plurality of control, signaling, and voice/data traffic channels therefrom, a compressor (,) coupled to the uncompressed digroup circuits (,, and,) and compressing data in selected ones of the extracted voice/data channels, and a compressed data circuit (,) coupled to the compressor (,) for packing the compressed data into predetermined channels of one compressed signal, and further providing control, signaling, and performance monitoring information embedded therein.

N:1 transcoder

A small broadband cross-connect system (10) includes a two-stage matrix (12) for processing and cross-connecting optical and electrical telecommunication network signals. An administration subsystem (14) provides centralized control and synchronization to the two-stage matrix (12). The two-stage matrix (12) may be expanded from 96 ports to 192 ports in a cost and space effective manner.

Broadband digital cross-connect system architecture

An N:1 transcoder (12, 40) with a compression data path that includes uncompressed digroup circuits (92, 94, 96, 98, and 100) each receiving N incoming uncompressed signal and extracting a plurality of control, signaling, and voice/data traffic channels therefrom, a compressor (120) coupled to the uncompressed digroup circuits (92, 94, 96, 98, and 100) and compressing data in selected ones of the extracted voice/data channels, and a compressed data circuit (126) coupled to the compressor (120) for packing the compressed data into predetermined channels of one compressed signal, and further providing control, signaling, and performance monitoring information embedded therein.
