Abstract
A signal processing system contains a source apparatus coupled to a destination apparatus via a bus operable according to a time-slot allocation protocol. The source apparatus is arranged for supplying a sequence of packets, each having a time-stamp via the bus to the destination apparatus. The destination apparatus includes a clock and is arranged for receiving the packets, for detecting when the time-value of the clock corresponds to the time-stamp in a particular packet, and for thereupon presenting data from that particular packet at an output, operable according to a time-slot allocation protocol. The source apparatus is arranged for supplying a first and a second part of at least one of the packets in different time-slots, the destination apparatus being arranged for presenting data from the first and second part together upon detecting when the time-value of the clock corresponds to the time-stamp in the at least one of the packets.
