ABSTRACT:
An encoder for encoding digital streaming media at a studio site, in which the encoder is a software encoder which uses an IP based protocol to communicate with a remote, central multiplexer. Because the encoder is a software encoder, it is significantly cheaper than conventional, dedicated hardware; the encoder can typically run on a PC or industrial PC. As an IP based protocol is used, the present invention is cheaper to implement than STI over G703/4 or a WG1/2 bus. Similarly, handling reconfiguration data is possible over IP and the software of the encoder also leads to increased reconfigurability. Placing the encoder at the studio site also eliminates the conventional need for extra codes in a central multiplexing paradigm, further reducing cost and increasing quality.
