Abstract:
1. An apparatus for generating a data stream having a series of segments using data organized in a sequence of data frames, the apparatus comprising: a packetiser for packetising data from a data frame into the series of segments having a first segment and a second segment, the second segment having interpretable data entities, wherein interpretable data entities comprise complete data entities interpretable on their own, and having a data entity fragment, wherein the data entity fragment comprise incomplete data entities not interpretable on their own, the data entity fragment including only a part of an interpretable data entity preceding an interpretable data entity; and an information block adder for adding an information block associated with the second segment, the information block indicating an entry point into the second segment, the entry point indicating a start of the interpretable data entity following the data entity fragment; wherein the information block adder is operative to add an additional information block to the first segment, the additional information block indicating a starting point of the data frame, wherein the packetiser is operative to packetise further data from the data frame into a third segment, where only a fragment of the third segment has data of the data frame and includes the starting point of the data frame, and wherein the packetiser is operative to add the third segment to the series of segments.
