Abstract:
A method of translating a least one of a series of input data packets from an input format to at least one output data packet in an output format, comprising the steps of:(a) reading the series of input data packets in the input format, the data packets including a data type identifier, wherein at least some of the input data packets include first time synchronization data and at least some of the input data packets include payload data; (b) identifying data packets of interest in the series of input data packets according to data type using the data type identifier; (c) identifying data packets from the data packets of interest having first time synchronization information as synchronization packets; (d) generating second time synchronization information from the first time synchronization information; and (e) generating at least one output data packet in the output format having the second time synchronization information.
