Abstract:
A coded stream splicing device for splicing a first coded stream and a second coded stream at a splicing point, the device comprising:stream analysis means for analyzing the syntax of the first coded stream and identifying a coding parameter of the first coded stream; and splicing means for changing a coding parameter of the second coded stream on the basis of the coding parameter of the first coded stream identified by the stream analysis means so that the first coded stream and the second coded stream can be seamlessly connected at the splicing point, and for splicing the first coded stream and the second coded stream having the changed coding parameter; wherein the first coded stream is generated according to a first program editing table stored in a first broadcasting system controller, the second coded stream is generated according to a second program editing table stored in a second broadcasting system controller, and the splicing point is determined by the second broadcasting system controller according to the second program editing table.
