Abstract
An embedded system which stores, controls and retrieves real-time digital signals is configured as a programmable and reconfigurable embedded system. The embedded system interface is capable of handling in real time both continuous and irregular signal formats, such as Digital Video (DV) and MPEG, and stores the received signal in a format optimized for its storage medium. Upon retrieval, the signal is reconstituted back to its original format. In one example, the embedded system can receives and retrieve multiple, simultaneous digital signal data streams for a variety of digital equipment, such as digital video recorders.
