Abstract
A format programmable hardware packetizer ( ) receives real-time raw input data ( ) from a multimedia data source ( ) via an analog to digital converter ( ) and a data encoder ( ) gated by encoder interrupts ( ). The real-time raw input data is buffered in an internal byte collector of the packetizer ( ). A main CPU interrupt ( ) is issued to the main processor ( ) when a packet boundary code is received. The packetizer ( ) formats the data according to a desired format selected on line ( ) for dump to the main memory ( ) while providing a managed, much lower level of interrupts to the main processor ( ) on the CPU interrupt line ( ). A plurality of hardware packetizers ( ) can be deployed according to alternative constructions for efficient real time packetizing in various selected formats.
