Content
The STB 102 also preferably includes a CODEC (encoder/decoder) 304. The CODEC 304 serves to encode signals (such as audio/video signals) into a network-compatible data stream for transmission over the network 101. The CODEC 304 also serves to decode a network-compatible data stream received from the network 101. As depicted, the CODEC 304 may be implemented as a hardware component. Alternatively, or in addition, software encoding and decoding may be used. The CODEC 304 may use various algorithms, such as MPEG, for encoding and decoding.
