TRANSMISSION AND DETECTION OF MULTI-CHANNEL SIGNALS IN REDUCED CHANNEL FORMAT
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data comprising:
- determining whether a first type or a second type of content data is to be transmitted, wherein the first type of content data is to be transmitted at a first multiple of a base frequency and the second type of data is to be transmitted at a second multiple of the base frequency;
selecting one or more channels from a plurality of channels based on the type of content data;
clocking a frequency on the first or second multiple of the base frequency according to the type of content data in the selected channels;
modifying the content data to fit within a single output channel; and
transmitting the modified data via a single output channel at the chosen multiple of the base frequency.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to transmission and detection of multi-channel signals in reduced channel format. An embodiment of a method for transmitting data includes determining whether a first type or a second type of content data is to be transmitted, where the first type of content data is to be transmitted at a first multiple of a base frequency and the second type of data is to be transmitted at a second multiple of the base frequency. The method further includes selecting one or more channels from a plurality of channels based on the type of content data, clocking a frequency on the first or second multiple of the base frequency according to the type of content data in the selected channels, modifying the content data to fit within a single output channel, and transmitting the modified data via a single output channel at the chosen multiple of the base frequency.

11. A method for receiving data comprising:
-
receiving an incoming data stream on a single data channel; detecting a type of content data from the received data stream, wherein the data is received at a first or second multiple of a base frequency; clocking the content data at a frequency at the first or second multiple of the base frequency according to the type of content data in the channel; decoding the content data; and converting the content data into a plurality of channels at the base frequency, wherein the converting is based on the type of content data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A transmitting device comprising:
-
a transmitter to transmit signals to a receiver; an interface to couple the transmitter with the receiver; logic to transmit data on the interface, the logic including; a first logic to determine a type of content data, the data to be transmitted at a first or second multiple of a base frequency depending on the type of content data identified by the first logic, a second logic to select one or more channels from a plurality of channels for the content data, and a third logic to modify the data to fit within a single output channel; and the transmitter to transmit the modified data over the single output channel at the chosen multiple of the base frequency. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A receiving device comprising:
-
a receiver to receive signals from a transmitting device; an interface to couple the receiver with the transmitter over a single receiving channel; logic to transfer the content data being received on the interface, the logic including; a first logic to detect a type of content data received over the receiving channel, wherein the data is transmitted at a frequency of either a first multiple of a base frequency or a second multiple of the base frequency; a second logic to clock a frequency of reception at an appropriate frequency based on the type of content data; and a third logic to convert the content data from the single receiving channel into a plurality of channels, the conversion of the data depending on the type of content data. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
