TLDR
In this paper, a media codec device includes an input port that receives media signals from service providers and also receives power for the media codec devices, and a decoder that stores decoder keys associated with the service providers.Abstract:
A media codec device includes an input port that receives media signals from service providers and also receives power for the media codec device, and a decoder that stores decoder keys associated with the service providers. The decoder applies the decoder keys to decode the media signals. The media codec device operates to direct at a first time a decoded first media signal to a first output device and a decoded second media signal to a second output device, and to direct at a second time the decoded first media signal to the second output device and the decoded second media signal to the first output device.read more
