Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for organizing a plurality of signals to be transmitted to a plurality of subscriber receivers. At least one client computer having an interface towards a central management server. The client computer is configured to produce administrative instructions for organizing signals to be transmitted over at least one of a number of transmission resources. The administrative instructions produced by each computer specifies, for each signal to be transmitted, at least one particular transmission resource of a number of transmission resources available to each client computer. The administrative instructions for at least one signal determines which signal that will be transmitted through which transmission resource. The central management server adapted to receive, from the at least one computer, the administrative instructions pertaining to the transmission of the signals. In response to the administrative instructions, the central management server organizes and synchronizes signals originating from one or more signal sources before these signals are transmitted to the subscriber receivers.
