Abstract
A data communication system for communicating one or more payload streamed data signals and an auxiliary data signal, the auxiliary data signal being arranged as one or more data packets according to a data packet protocol, each packet having a packet destination address. The system includes at least two data handling nodes, a transmitting one of the data handling nodes arranged to transmit data to a receiving one of the data handling nodes, and a transmission data formatter associated with the transmitting node for formatting the packets of the auxiliary data signal into a streamed data signal format and for multiplexing the payload streamed data signals and the formatted auxiliary data signal into a bitstream for transmission. The system further includes a received data reformatter associated with the receiving node for demultiplexing the input streamed data signals and the formatted auxiliary data signal and for reformatting the auxiliary data signal into packets according to the data packet protocol.
