Abstract: |
A scheme is provided for communicating high rate isochronous data in an MPEG-2 type transport stream in a robust manner. The syntax for the data bitstream also provides for the communication of a data clock increment value to a decoder. The increment value enables a simplified and cost effective approach to the direct digital synthesis of a clock frequency necessary to recover data from the packetized data stream at the decoder. The time resolution for presenting isochronous data presentation units at the decoder is increased by providing a presentation time stamp (PTS) extension to supplement a standard MPEG-2 PTS.

We claim:
1. A method for the robust transmission of high rate isochronous data in an MPEG-2 type transport stream, comprising the steps of:
- providing said isochronous data in a packetized elementary stream (PES) having a PES header preceding a PES payload, said PES payload including an isochronous data header followed by a plurality of isochronous data presentation units;
- aligning said isochronous data header and the presentation units which follow within said PES such that the first byte of the isochronous data header immediately follows the last byte of the PES header;
- inserting a clock increment value in said isochronous data header specifying the ratio of said isochronous data rate to a reference clock rate, said clock increment value enabling said isochronous data rate to be derived from said reference clock rate at a decoder; and
- packaging said PES into a plurality of isochronous data transport packets such that a first payload byte of each transport packet is the first byte of an isochronous data presentation unit and a last payload byte of each of said packets is the last byte of an isochronous data presentation unit.
