Abstract
A multimedia terminal comprising: a first encoder ( ) for producing a first bit-stream ( ) of a first media type and having a first bit-rate; a second encoder ( ) for producing a second bit-stream ( ) of a second media type and having a second bit-rate; a multiplexer ( ) for combining at least the first ( ) and the second ( ) bit-streams into a third bit-stream ( ). The terminal comprises an input element ( ) for receiving preference information ( ) coupled to the first encoder ( ) and the second encoder ( ), said preference information ( ) indicating a preferred combination of the first and the second media types in the third bit-stream and affecting the first and the second bit-rates. Thus, the transmission capacity is utilised in a more optimised manner and the proportions of different media types are better adjusted to the purpose of the information transfer.
