Abstract
A data buffering/transformation system and method that compresses a received signal and stores the compressed received data signal in a data storage unit to conserve storage usage. The system decompresses the data signal prior to transmitting the signal. The received data signal may be an encoded data signal. In such a case, the system further decompresses the received data signal, decodes the signal, recompresses the signal, and stores the signal in the data storage unit. The system and method employs a combination compressor and first decompressor and a second decompressor so the system and method can simultaneously decompress a compressed received data signal and decompress a compressed decoded received data signal.
