Abstract:
1. A system for adapting a transmission rate of an AES/EBU digital audio signal transmitted over a time division multiplexed communications link from a source to a destination, comprising: a first variable-depth storage component for receiving and temporarily storing the AES/EBU digital audio signal; a first processor for selectively withdrawing the AES/EBU digital audio signal from the first variable- depth storage component, for encapsulating the AES/EBU digital audio signal into packets compatible with the time division multiplexed communication link, and for transmitting the packets over the time division multiplexed communications link; a second processor for receiving the packets from the time division multiplexed communications link, for removing the AES/EBU digital audio signal from the encapsulating packets, and for depositing the AES/EBU digital audio signal into a second variable-depth storage component; wherein the first processor selectively withdraws the AES/EBU digital audio signal as a predetermined function of an amount of data in the first variable-depth storage component, and the second processor selectively withdraws the AES/EBU digital audio signal as a predetermined function of an amount of data in the second variable-depth storage component.
