Abstract: A method to be implemented in a first communication device adapted to be powered via a first wired communication interface and to be configured as a master or as a slave device when connected with a second device via the first wired communication interface is described. The method includes, when the first communication device is connected to a second device via the first communication interface and is configured as a master device, with respect to the second device, obtaining an identifier of the second device and operating in a first operating mode, compatible with a first power consumption, or in a second operating mode, leading to a second power consumption higher than the first power consumption, depending of the obtained identifier. The corresponding device, system, computer readable program product and computer readable storage medium are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and a device for recording multimedia digital data, preferably audio and/or video, on a direct-access recording medium. The data comprise broadcasting information and navigation information, sufficient to implement at least one mode of reading the recorded broadcasting information. During recording, the following operations are repeated: recording of new broadcasting information as it is received, determination and preservation in buffer memory of the associated navigation information and transfer of the navigation information by contiguous recording in a storage space within the recorded broadcasting information, which space is associated with the new recorded broadcasting information. This storage space has a predetermined size.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a process for the stamping in real time by means of a stamping clock (2) of programs, as well as to a receiver and a broadcasting system containing such a device and a packet string obtained by such a process.

Abstract: The invention relates to equipment for reading and/or recording audiovisual data on a disk intended to be read and/or recorded at constant angular speed, such as a hard disk (12), this equipment comprising a permanent memory (16) containing data for controlling the equipment and a random access memory (18) intended for loading with data contained in the permanent memory (16) for operating the equipment. The data needed to operate the equipment are stored in outer zones of the disk (12) and this equipment comprises means for loading these data in the random access memory (18) during an initialization period.
