Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to flow control of a digital data stream that is to be transmitted with limited bit rate. The present invention provides a mix between CQ and CB. This in order to, in real time, ensure best possible quality of a data stream given a maximum available band with. This is useful both when saving a data stream to a data storage with a limited size and when playing the data stream in real time. In particular the invention relates to a method for flow control of a digital data stream that is to be sent with a limited transmission bit rate R. The method comprises encoding each data frame of a digital data stream into an encoded data frame comprising n quality layers and thereafter balancing the output of the encoder in order to achieve a constant bit rate on the output. The invention also relates to a corresponding data recorder and computer program.
