Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'émission permettant de réduire la charge de traitement dans un dispositif de réception. Ce système de diffusion comprend un dispositif d'émission et un dispositif de réception. Le dispositif d'émission comprend une section de multiplexage de données, une section de multiplexage de flux et une section d'émission. La section de multiplexage de données produit un flux d'émission en multiplexant des données de diffusion correspondant à une pluralité de signaux de diffusion respectifs. La section de multiplexage de flux produit un flux de diffusion multiplexé en multiplexant une pluralité de flux de diffusion. La section d'émission transmet le flux multiplexé au dispositif de réception. Au niveau du dispositif de réception, la section de réception pour le dispositif de réception reçoit le flux d'émission multiplexé en provenance du dispositif d'émission. Une section de démultiplexage de flux multiplexé restaure la pluralité de flux de diffusion en démultiplexant le multiplexage du flux de diffusion multiplexé. Une section de sortie produit une pluralité de flux de diffusion.
