Abstract: A digital networked studio and the needed software services to allow the use of the system for monitoring the creation and distribution processes of real-time created content is described. Distribution problems are solved using an off-the-shelf network, e.g. using an IP based or similar data protocol, such as an IP network based distributed system architecture to bring the display controller functionality closer to the source and to replace proprietary busses used for transporting video, audio, RGB, graphical information and/or metadata with building blocks based on standard IP and compression technologies. A characteristic of such a network is to use unicast, multicast and/or broadcast technologies (based on network addresses) and to route data from one address to another. The network provides redundancy in case any of the digital generation units.

Abstract: A viewer system, components and method that are operable to efficiently merge data streams prior to decoding them, and then transmit the merged data stream for decoding and displaying. Unlike prior art multiple encoded image viewing solutions, the present system and method enables the use of significantly less bandwidth and less resources for decoding the data stream to provide a more efficient viewer system.
