Abstract

A media content converter, for converting media content into network packets, includes logic circuitry, a header generator and a multiplexer. The logic circuitry is configured to partition the media content into payloads for the network packets. The header generator configured to generate packet headers for the network packets, by populating with data a plurality of header fields according to a predefined header format. The multiplexer is configured to stream a sequence of the network packets for transmission over a communication network, by combining the generated packet headers from the header generator with the corresponding payloads from the logic circuitry.
