Abstract
An in-band gateway which enables TV operators having a narrow out-of-band return channel the capability of providing high bandwidth applications including voicemail, voice attachments, music on demand, and picture mail, by using the in-band channel and the out-of-band channel in parallel. The in-band gateway can receive multiple sources of multi-media and manage them, so that when subscribers demand high bandwidth service, the in-band gateway sends the information though the in-band channel and can also handle the streaming of data. The command for sending a high bandwidth content is requested by a client software running on a set-top box application or middleware through the out-of-band channel. The in-band gateway allows the operators to provide multimedia content using both the narrow out-of-band channel and the in-band channel.
