Abstract
A method and system are provided for providing data commonality in a programmable transport demultiplexer engine. The method may involve utilizing a hardware assist block to process a portion of an incoming data packet, which may result in a partially processed data packet. The data packet may comprise data in any one of video formats and/or audio formats. A firmware block may then execute a plurality of instructions to process the partially processed data packet. The plurality of instructions may be independent of video and/or audio formats associated with the data packet.
