Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for recording and streaming multimedia sequences transmitted from a data distribution device (8) over a data communications network (2), comprising receiving a recording request; receiving a multimedia sequence (DC) relating to the recording request; removing, during reception of the multimedia sequence (DC), all information comprised in the multimedia sequence (DC) except the payload data from the multimedia sequence (DC); determining an empty memory portion (MB) in a temporary memory (6a) of a control unit (6); storing, during reception of the multimedia sequence (DC), the payload data in the memory portion (MB); writing the address of the memory portion (MB) to a second networking unit memory portion (4c?); and when the memory portion (MB) is full, by means of the writing device (4d): writing the address of the memory portion (MB) to a third networking unit memory portion (4c??), and sending a trigger signal to a file system (6f) of the control unit (6) an

Abstract: A method is disclosed of using a plurality of simultaneous communication sessions to allow two-way communication where data compositions are simultaneously sent from an apparatus to a large plurality of remote units, while maintaining a high performance of the apparatus, each session involving sending a data composition to a respective of a plurality of remote units through a communication network, the data compositions being stored in a storage unit. The method includes receiving from the storage unit streams of data composition sub-sets, and providing for each of the communication sessions a data queue, and storing data of the streams of data composition sub-sets in the data queues.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for data streaming, the method comprising receiving a plurality of streaming requests from a plurality of user devices (11a, 11b), and streaming data according to the streaming requests, receiving a payload data flow (DC1-DC6), storing the payload data flow (DC1-DC6) during the reception of it, detecting, during the reception of the payload data flow (DC1-DC6), a plurality of identification data groups (IF1-IF7) in the payload data flow (DC1-DC6), creating, at least partly based on the identification data groups (IF1-IF7), during the reception of the payload data flow (DC1-DC6), a plurality of control data portions (1051, 1052), comprising data for linking at least some of the identification data groups (IF1-IF7), and storing, during the reception of the payload data flow (DC1-DC6), the control data portions (1051, 1052), wherein a first control data portion (1051) for a first identification data group (IF4) is stored before a second control data portion (105

Abstract: A system and a method for data storage means includes a set of data storage sub-assemblies and connectable to storage control means adapted to retrieve, for a plurality of simultaneous user applications, data stored in the data storage means. The method divides a data composition into a plurality of payload data subsets, and stores the payload data subsets in the data storage sub-assemblies. The storage control means is adapted to retrieve, for a user application, the payload data subsets in a predetermined retrieving sequence, wherein a sequence of a number of payload data subsets, which number corresponds to the number of data storage sub-assemblies in the set of data storage sub-assemblies, and which payload data subsets follow sequentially one immediately upon the other in the retrieving sequence, are stored in separate ones of the data storage sub-assemblies in the set of data storage sub-assemblies.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for data streaming, as well as a combination, of an apparatus for data streaming and a plurality of user devices, are presented. The apparatus is adapted to receive media data in the form of a plurality of payload data sets from at least one data source and a plurality of streaming requests from a plurality of user devices, the apparatus comprising a memory unit adapted to store the payload data sets, and a streaming unit adapted to stream the payload data sets according to the streaming requests, the streaming unit is adapted to receive a first sub-set of a payload data set from the memory unit. The streaming unit is adapted to receive from the memory unit a first sub-set of a control data set, which first control data sub-set comprises data corresponding to a location in the memory unit of a second sub-set of the payload data set.
