Abstract:
A system for processing data from multiple channels, comprising:a first transformer having means for receiving a plurality of source-identified-frames, and means for transforming at least one source-identified-frame into at least one transformed-source-identified-frame; a classifier, in communication with the first transformer, having means for receiving at least one transformed-source-identified-frame from the first transformer, means for categorizing at least one transformed-source-identified-frame by domain type wherein there is at least one prespecified domain type, means for categorizing at least one transformed-source-identified-frame by category type wherein there is at least one prespecified category type, means, responsive to the domain type and the category type of at least one transformed-source-identified-frame, for grouping at least one transformed-source-identified-frame into at least one frame-block; a second transformer, in communication with the classifier, having means for receiving at least one frame-block from the classifier, and means for transforming at least one frame-block into at least one transformed-frame-block; and a postprocessor, in communication with the second transformer and a transmission network, having means for receiving at least one transformed-frame-block from the second transformer, means for compressing at least one transformed-frame-block into at least one data-stream, and means for transmitting at least one data-stream to the transmission network.
