  • Apparatus for transcoding encoded content
    Patent number: 7577559
    Abstract: An apparatus for transcoding encoded content, the encoded content being encoded using a first coding algorithm, with a first interface for communicating with a content sink, the first interface being adapted for receiving a request for content being encoded using a second coding algorithm and for providing a transcoded content being encoded using the second coding algorithm. The apparatus further has a second interface for communicating with the content source, being adapted for providing a request for the encoded content being encoded using the first coding algorithm and for receiving the encoded content being encoded using the first coding algorithm. The apparatus further has a processing unit being adapted for processing the encoded content being encoded using the first coding algorithm to provide the transcoded content being encoded using the second coding algorithm.

  • System for providing media data
    Publication number: 20080155062
    Abstract: Server apparatus (100) for providing media data to client devices (101 to 104) comprising a data interface (110) for communicating with the client devices (101 to 104). The server apparatus (100) further comprises a user interface (120) for receiving a client device identification and a controller (130) for selecting a client device (101) based on the client device identification. The server apparatus (100) further comprises a data forwarder (140) for providing the media data to the selected client device (101) through the data interface (110).
