Abstract
A multiplexing device is coupled to various coding devices. The multiplexing device does not attempt to mutually synchronize the various coding devices but, instead, circumvents such synchronization while making it possible to work with the various coding devices and to obtain synchronous actions at the input of the multiplexer. In particular, the multiplexing device transmits control commands and an instant of action to each of the coding devices.
