Abstract:
1. A memory system for network broadcasting applications, comprising: at least one memory divided into a plurality of addressable memory units each including a dedicated output for interchanging data; and a matrix switch including inputs, at least one output, and at least one control input, the inputs of the matrix switch being connectable to the at least one output of the matrix switch, wherein: the inputs of the matrix switch are connected to a respective output of a different memory unit; the control input of the matrix switch sets which of the inputs of the matrix switch is connected to the output of the matrix switch; the plurality of the addressable memory units are connectable to the output of the matrix switch in a sequential order, a first sequence of memory units and a second sequence of memory units being connected to the output of the matrix switch independently; and the memory units are capable of continuing to output data records even if the sequential order is interrupted.
