Patent ID: 8599932

Claim:
A system configured to encode frames of image data from an incoming signal into video data in a packetized elementary stream (PES), the system comprising: a processor configured to receive a signal including the frames of image data and control information associated with the image data including video metadata parameters associated with application specific functions applicable to the image data, encode the frames of image data to form video access units, each video access unit including an elementary stream (ELSM) header including image data metadata parameters associated with decoding and displaying the image data, a PES header including timing reference information including a presentation time stamp (PTS), and one or more codestreams associated with a frame of the image data, map the video access units into PES packets using the PTS in the PES header of the respective video access units, and order the PES packets in a monotonic order using the PTS in the PES packets to form a PES in a transport stream including the control information; and a storage device configured to store the frames of image data, and the control information.
