Abstract:
1. A multimedia processing engine comprising: a format analyzer configured to determine the format of encoded audio/video data; a functionality generator in communication with the format analyzer, the functionality generator being configured to select or generate hardware and software platform independent functionality that decodes the audio/video data encoded in the determined format; the functionality generator being further configured to generate or select hardware and software platform independent syntax elements that contain information to create and implement a new functionality that decodes the audio/video data encoded in the determined format in a receiver in which decoding of audio/video data encoded in the determined format is unsupported; and a multiplexer configured to multiplex the encoded audio/video data with the syntax elements and send the multiplexed data and syntax elements to a non-transient storage medium as a single set of bits.
