Abstract:
1. A virtual broadband receiver comprising: one or more receivers to receive a plurality of incoming media data streams carrying packets of encoded media from a plurality of routes, wherein each incoming media data stream was transmitted by a remote virtual broadband transmitter from a remote location along a transmission route that comprises at least one wireless communication network accessible from said remote location; an assembly engine (a) to receive as input the packets of said plurality of incoming media data streams per their order of arrival, and (b) to assemble said plurality of incoming media data streams into a single serial media stream of packets forming a live media transmission from said remote location; wherein the assembly engine comprises a jitter buffer having a logical output window; wherein a size of the logical output window of the jitter buffer of said assemble engine is reduced if it is determined that the remote virtual broadband transmitter has fast modems; wherein the assembly engine is associated with an output rate controller to regulate a rate at which said single serial media stream of packets is released from said assembly engine.
