System and method for direct recording of audio, video and/or images for easy access and editing
First Claim
1. A direct digital recording system, comprising:
- a physical layer configured to receive input media data from an input media capture device, said physical layer being capable of receiving asynchronous transactions and isochronous transactions;
a link layer configured to receive asynchronous transactions and to convert the received asynchronous transactions to a computer readable file system format;
a logics chip in communication with said physical and link layers, said logics chip being capable of receiving and transmitting asynchronous transactions and isochronous transactions from and to said physical layer, respectively, and being capable of receiving and transmitting asynchronous transactions from and to said link layer, said logics chip being further configured to convert the isochronous transactions received from the physical layer to asynchronous transactions for transmission to the link layer and to selectively convert any portion of the asynchronous transactions received from the link layer to isochronous transactions for transmission to the physical layer; and
a storage having a storage media in communication with said link layer for storing the data in the computer readable file system format data transmitted from said link layer.

Abstract
A system and method for direct digital recording of input media such as audio, video, and/or images for easy access and editing are disclosed. The direct digital recording system generally comprises a physical layer configured to receive input media data comprising asynchronous (ASYN) and/or isochronous (ISOC) transactions from an input media capture device, a link layer configured to receive ASYN transactions and convert the received ASYN transactions to a computer readable file system format, a logics chip configured to receive and transmit ASYN and ISOC transactions from and to the physical layer and to receive and transmit ASYN transactions from and to the link layer, the logics chip being configured to convert the ISOC transactions received from the physical layer to ASYN transactions and to selectively convert any portion of the ASYN transactions received from the link layer to ISOC transactions, and a storage having a storage media for storing the data in the computer readable file system format data transmitted from the link layer.

12. A method for direct digital recording, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving input media data from an input media capture device by a physical layer, the physical layer being capable of receiving asynchronous transactions and isochronous transactions;
receiving data from the physical layer by a logics chip;
converting the isochronous transactions received from the physical layer to asynchronous transactions for transmission to a link layer by the logics chip;
transmitting asynchronous transactions from the logics chip to the link layer;
converting the asynchronous transactions received from the logics chip to data in a computer readable file system format by the link layer; and
receiving and storing the computer readable file system format data from the link layer into a storage media in a storage. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method for accessing data stored in a direct digital recording system by an access device, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving computer readable file system format data from a storage media in a storage via a link layer;
converting the retrieved computer readable data to asynchronous data by the link layer;
transmitting asynchronous data from the link layer to a logics chip;
selectively converting any portion of the asynchronous data to isochronous data by the logics chip;
transmitting any unconverted asynchronous data and any converted isochronous data from the logics chip to a physical layer; and
receiving data from the physical layer for display on the access device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
