Abstract: A mechanism for splicing advertisements, local programming and the like into a digital video transport stream is provided. In order to achieve proper splicing, an appropriate number of frames is inserted between bitstreams to properly close a GOP of the first bitstream into which a second bitstream carrying the spliced content is inserted. Program clock references (PCRs) of the bitstreams are adjusted as necessary in order to force continuity between the bitstreams. For inserting advertisements, the PCR of the program stream and ad stream can be tracked, and the PCR of the program stream can be used both before and after splicing. For local program insertion (which are typically substantially longer than advertisements), the PCR of the local program can be used, after adjustment thereof with an offset to maintain continuity at the splice point. The PTS and/or DTS of the inserted bitstream can be modified to keep them continuous at the splice point for both video and audio streams. The spliced bitstream is transcoded to maintain a desired output bit rate, and to provide overflow/underflow protection of the video buffers.

Abstract: In a method of monitoring the reliability of a data link for a data transmission between a server ( 2 ) and a client ( 8 ), a control unit ( 14 ) is triggered by a trigger signal in such a manner that in response to the arrival of the trigger signal the control unit ( 14 ) generates first control data for a predetermined running time which commences anew in response to each trigger signal received. The first control data forms a first control representation ( 23 ) on a client display screen ( 11 ), which first control representation optically indicates the existence of a reliable data link ( 4 ) to a user. The control unit ( 14 ) generates, after expiration of the running time, second control data which generates a second control representation ( 23 ') on the client display screen ( 11 ) which optically indicates the absence of a reliable data link to the user. A control unit ( 15 ) periodically transmits a test message to a test unit ( 18 ). The test unit ( 18 ) returns the incoming test message or another test message to the server ( 2 ). The control unit ( 14 ) is triggered again only if the returned test message is in order. The period with which the control unit ( 15 ) repeats the transmission of the test messages is shorter than the running time during which the control unit ( 14 ) generates the first control data.
