Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for updating service information tables in a digital content decoder comprising: a reception (E1) of a service information table, a filtering (E2) the content of the table to remove or reset to zero, in the table, a table identifier and an item of information unnecessary to the execution of at least one service by the decoder, a calculation (E4) of a hash code relating to an item of information, of the filtered table, a comparison (E5) of the hash code with a hash code relating to an item of information of a previous table, a storage (E6) of said item of information of the table if the hash code of the filtered table and the hash code of the previous table are not identical.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of the synchronization of data delivery onto equipments connected over a packet switching network, in particular when the equipments are devoted to video and audio data or Auxiliary data linked to processing and are connected over a local area network for forming a video/audio production studio. More precisely the invention concerns a data inserter device for inserting a timestamp in packets, and a delay compensating device for extracting said timestamp and compensating the delivery delay and in particular the jitter, the network delay and the packet generation duration or any additional user delay.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the synchronizing of equipment, and more precisely to the transporting of synchronization signals via a communication network with a view to inter-synchronizing the equipment. The invention concerns a reference station able to deliver packets in a packet switching network to communication devices connected to the network. According to the invention, the reference station comprises means for inserting at least a temporal offset in said packets, wherein said temporal offset describes data delivery duration on a pre-determined path of said network. The invention relates also to a sending communication device and to a receiving communication device.

Abstract: The process is characterized in that it comprises: a step of reading tags recorded together with the packets, these tags defining the instants of arrival of the data packets to be recorded, on the basis of a tagging clock (8), a step of comparing the tags with values counted (9) on the basis of a transfer clock (8) for determining the instants of transfer on the bus of the data read from the record carrier, the frequencies of operation of the said tagging and transfer clocks being such that the maximum deviation between these frequencies, added to the maximum drift of the MPEG system clock, is, in proportion to the nominal values, of the order of or less than the drift of the system clock specified in the standard. Application to the storage of MPEG data.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method comprising a step which consists in comparing a label to a value counted from a transfer clock to define the transfer time on the bus of a packet read on a recording medium. The invention is characterized in that for implementing a special mode or trick mode, it further comprises the following steps: calculating a difference between two consecutive packets based on the values of recorded labels; calculating an offset value based on said difference and parameters received on the bus defining the special mode; adding said offset value to the label value of the transmitted packet to obtain a new label value defining the transfer time on the bus of the following packet to be transmitted. The invention is applicable to the storage of MPEG data.
