Transport Stream Splicing for Broadcast Networks
Barry L. Hobbs · 1998
The everyday operation of a broadcast facility involves editing and joining of program content to form the broadcast transport stream. While much of the program editing can be done off-line there are many scenarios where program content must be switched live-to-air: for example, insertion of advertising into digital transport streams. Such applications are of paramount importance for the maintenance of revenue and for the smooth running of multi-source programs such as news broadcasts.
