Abstract
This disclosure describes cooperatively transcoding an input signal to one or more output signals. The software and/or hardware logic modules are designed to work cooperatively in ways that can reduce the number and/or complexity of logic modules implementing a plurality of related transcodings of signal formats. By advantageously determining dependencies and sub-functions in transcoding an input stream to multiple output streams, hardware and/or software logic can be reduced. Reduced logic to implement multi-format transcoding improves the costs and/or capacity of systems for transcoding large numbers of streams and signals.
