Abstract
A dynamically configurable system and method for transcoding streaming data and a telecommunications infrastructure incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) first, second and third streaming conversion modules capable of converting data stream portions between internal data formats and (2) a transcoding controller, associated with the first, second and third streaming conversion modules, that determines source and destination data formats of the data stream and arranges ones of the first, second and third streaming conversion modules in an optimal series to convert portions of the data stream from the source data format through at least one of the internal data formats to the destination data format.
