Datastream packet alignment indicator in a system for assembling

A method is disclosed for optimizing the operation of a packet transport system generating a packet stream carrying a plurality of component signals, and includes the following steps. First the packet stream is partitioned into successive groups, each group containing a predetermined number of packet slots. A plurality of lists are maintained, one associated with each packet slot in a group. A packet stream is generated by placing data representing a component signal selected in response to entries in the list associated with that packet slot into the packet slot. The contents of the plurality of lists are updated based on a predetermined parameter.

Optimizing performance in a packet slot priority packet transport system

A video signal encoding system includes a signal processor for segmenting encoded video data into transport blocks having a header section and a packed data section. The system also includes reset control apparatus for releasing resets of system components, after a global system reset, in a prescribed non-simultaneous phased sequence to enable signal processing to commence in the prescribed sequence. The phased reset release sequence begins when valid data is sensed as transiting the data lines.

A high definition video system processes a bitstream including high and low priority variable length coded Data words. The coded Data is separated into packed High Priority Data and packed Low Priority Data by means of respective data packing units. The coded Data is continuously applied to both packing units. High Priority and Low Priority Length words indicating the bit lengths of high priority and low priority components of the coded Data are applied to the high and low priority data packers, respectively. The Low Priority Length word is zeroed when High Priority Data is to be packed for transport via a first output path, and the High Priority Length word is zeroed when Low Priority Data is to be packed for transport via a second output path.
