Definitions

  • the invention is based on a method for converting a digital compressed video and / or audio transport stream, in particular according to the MPEG-2 standard, as used, for example, in a digital broadcasting system.
  • MPEG transcoders are known for converting MPEG transport streams, which disassemble, process and reassemble the MPEG transport stream in another form, for example after modification of control bits or a conversion of the bit rate.
  • EP 11 04 198 AI describes such an MPEG transcoder.
  • DE 199 08 488 AI discloses a method in which the packets of the desired program are selected from a DVD / MPEG transport stream via the PIDs.

  • Transport stream or MPEG-2 program stream can differ greatly in their structure.
  • DVB compatibility can be achieved here in any case.

  • DMB digital broadcasting systems
  • the invention makes it possible to provide the MOST MPEG displays only with the required basic functionality (here DVD-compatible MPEG-2 program stream decoding) and to implement further functionalities in the signal source.

  • the actual source is then only signaled in a higher-level protocol by the identifiers of the individual connected in the network
  • the advantage of the method according to the invention lies in particular in the fact that expanding a networked DVD player to transport stream-based content (digital broadcasting) would only mean additional effort on the source side (receiving module), but not on the sink side (MPEG display) , Since there will generally be more sinks (displays) than signal sources (receiver modules) in such a networked system, there is significant potential for cost reduction.
  • the program-accompanying information for example MPEG-PSI and DVG-SI, which are part of the received MPEG-2 transport stream, processed in such a way that they can be embedded in the resulting MPEG-2 program stream in a DVD-compatible manner, eg as subpictures.

  • the method according to the invention is used to convert the digitally compressed video and / or audio transport data stream, in particular according to the MPEG-2 standard, into a DVD-compatible program stream. Both video and / or audio data and program-accompanying, in particular program-describing, data can be converted.
  • the conversion is carried out on the basis of the MP ⁇ G-2 system specification by breaking down the MPEG-2 transport stream into individual audio and video PES streams (Packetised Elementary Streams), according to FIG. 1 by means of multiplexer 1, and their subsequent multiplexing using multiplexer 2 into one valid MPEG-2 program stream.
  • the audio data contained in the MPEG-2 transport stream can differ in sampling rate, word length and compression algorithm from that of a DVD-typical program stream. Therefore, an additional adaptation stage - format converter 3 - for audio data may be necessary here before the formation of the program stream.
  • This audio data like the video data, is processed at the PES packet level.
  • the information accompanying the program or describing the program (MPEG-PSI, DVB-SI) in the transport stream is separated by means of the multiplexer 3 and converted in such a way that it can also be multiplexed into the resulting program stream using multiplexer 2 in accordance with the DVD specification.
  • MPEG-2 transport streams also contain additional information describing the program.
  • An example of such program-describing information is the EPG (Electronic program guide) in DVB transmissions.
  • This data originally transmitted in the transport stream must be able to be visualized or processed in a DVD-compatible manner in the display unit in the terminal. This is only possible in a DVD compliant way if it is as

  • the structure of the menu generator 4 is shown in FIG. 2.
  • This menu generator 4 has the task of converting the program-accompanying information contained in an MPEG-2 transport stream into DVD-compatible sub-pictures.
  • This is the MPEG-PSI (Program Specific Information), which are present in every MPEG-2 transport stream and around system-specific information of the transport stream source such as DVB-SI (DVB-System Information) or EPG (Electronic Program Guide), which are only used in certain systems and are partly optional.

  • DVD-compliant presentation control information can also be generated. These include, among other things, the highlight information, with which individual parts of the overall picture can be deposited with different colors. This makes it possible to select menus, e.g. for the selection of a specific language or a specific program.

  • a digital compressed video and / or audio transport data stream for example an MPEG-2 transport data stream, is supplied from a signal source 16.
  • the terminals 15 connected to the bus 14 should at least partially only have a basic functionality, e.g. for receiving DVD compatible MPEG-2 program streams. So that a conversion to a DVD-compatible format is not necessary for each of the terminals 15 connected to the bus, there is a device 17 according to the invention between the signal source 16 and the bus 14, the function and structure of which has been previously discussed.
  • a bus it is of course also possible to provide a branched network for supplying the terminals 15.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, pour être converti, un flux transporté à compatibilité MPEG-2 est décomposé en composantes vidéo et/ou audio et en informations d'accompagnement d'émission. Les informations d'accompagnement d'émission sont converties en un format à compatibilité DVD et incorporées avec les composantes vidéo et/ou audio dans un flux d'émission à compatibilité DVD. Grâce à cette mesure, on confère une possibilité d'affichage élargie à des terminaux simples qui ne disposent que d'une fonctionnalité de base.
