Abstract: Amultiplex communication system having a data repeater,
which can prevent data from being lost so as to improve reliability
of data communication, when a data repeater of a multiplex
communication system repeats data. A multiplex communication
system is made up of a plurality of communication groups (11, 12,13)
including a plurality of communication lines (21, 22, 23) and a
data repeater (4, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E). The data repeater is made
up of receiving buffers (411, 412, 413), sending buffers (421,
422, 423), a data controller (44, 44A, 44B, 44C, 44D, 44E) and
a transfer-address table (45, 45A). The data controller selects
multiplex communication lines through which the received data is
to be repeated and transfers the received data thereto. The data
controller has a priority-reset means (430, 431, 432, 433) for
increasing a priority of a received data before being sent. The
priority-reset means prioritizes a sending of the data from the
data repeater, even if the data sent from the data repeater collides
with the other data on the multiplex communication lines through
which the received data is to be repeated. In this way, the
priority-reset means prevents the data waiting for being sent in
the data repeater from being lost by being overwritten with newly
received data.

Abstract: Encoded streams (ST A ,ST B ) in re-encoding ranges set in the
vicinity of a splicing point are decoded by MPEG decoders (14A,14B).
When a MPEG encoder (16) performs a re-encoding process, the splice
controller (13) calculates a target amount of bits so as to prevent breakdown of
a VBV buffer and discontinuation of an amount of occupation of data in a
VBV buffer. The splice controller (13) uses the calculated target amount of
bits and a quantizer characteristic included in the streams (ST A ,ST B ) to
set a new quantizer characteristic for pictures to be re-encoded. The MPEG
encoder (16) re-encodes video data in accordance with the new quantizer
characteristic supplied from the splice controller (13) so as to output video
data as a re-encoded stream (ST RE ). The splice controller (13) controls the
switch (17) so as to switch the stream (ST A ), the re-encoded stream (ST RE ) and the
stream (ST B ) so as to output the switched stream. Thus, a seamless spliced
stream can be produced.
