Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for statistical re-multiplexing of multiple channels. Mechanisms are provided to manipulate and/or recode multiple compressed bit streams such that a resulting bit stream has a rate matching adjusted based on the allowable output channel rate. Loss-less transmission of compressed video bit streams can be output in real-time. In one example, the system includes encoders and demultiplexers on multiple channels. The demultiplexers are connected to a scheduler and multiplexer to provide an output bit stream at a given channel rate.
