  • System and method for transmission of digital information of varying sample rates over a synchronous network
    Patent number: 7123673
    Abstract: A system for transmitting digital information over a synchronous network includes at least one source node and at least one sink node both coupled with the synchronous network. The source node provides source information sampled at a source sample rate (Fsi) to the synchronous network in the form of digital information. The synchronous network operates on a network master clock rate (Fn) with a frequency that may be higher, lower or equal to the source sample rate (Fsi). The digital information is transmitted over the network to the sink node. The sink node processes the digital information to generate synthesized source information.

  • System and method for transmission of digital information of varying sample rates over a synchronous network
    Publication number: 20030063684
    Abstract: A system for transmitting digital information over a synchronous network includes at least one source node and at least one sink node both coupled with the synchronous network. The source node provides source information sampled at a source sample rate (Fsi) to the synchronous network in the form of digital information. The source information may include blocks of multi-channel data. The synchronous network operates on a network master clock rate (Fn) with a frequency that may be higher, lower or equal to the source sample rate (Fsi). The digital information is transmitted over the network to the sink node. Digital information representative of a portion of a block of multi-channel data may be transmitted separately. The sink node processes the digital information to generate synthesized source information. Where portions of blocks of multi-channel data are transmitted separately, the sink node may combine the separate portions to generate synthesized complete blocks of multi-channel data.
