Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting timing-critical data, comprising: providing the timing-critical data subdivided into a stream of successive critically-timed transport units; determining, from the stream of timing-critical data, stream recreation information which includes at least one item of timing information for the transport units, from which stream recreation information, the stream of timing-critical data is recreated; tagging at least some of the transport units with said at least one item of timing information; and transmitting said transport units with the tagged items of timing information, and without a critical timing of the timing-critical data, wherein the timing information for a plurality of transport units comprises two pointers to byte locations of some of the plurality of transport units and one pointer to a byte location of the remainder of the plurality of transport units together with the associated timing information.
