Abstract

An apparatus for transcoding encoded content, the encoded content being encoded using a first coding algorithm, with a first interface for communicating with a content sink, the first interface being adapted for receiving a request for content being encoded using a second coding algorithm and for providing a transcoded content being encoded using the second coding algorithm. The apparatus further has a second interface for communicating with the content source, being adapted for providing a request for the encoded content being encoded using the first coding algorithm and for receiving the encoded content being encoded using the first coding algorithm. The apparatus further has a processing unit being adapted for processing the encoded content being encoded using the first coding algorithm to provide the transcoded content being encoded using the second coding algorithm.
