A method and apparatus for encoding and decoding linear block codes while using limited working storage is disclosed. For decoding, the error syndromes are calculated incrementally as each encoded symbol is received. That is, as each symbol, r of the code word is received, the received symbol, r is multiplied by the entries in the “ith” column of a decoding matrix, resulting in intermediate syndrome components. The intermediate syndrome components are added to the appropriate entry in a syndrome vector. Once all symbols r are received, the syndrome vector contains the error syndromes s for the received code word.

A computer-implemented system and method are described for encoding video. For example, a method according to one embodiment comprises: selecting a tile size for subdividing each image in a sequence of images based on a specified type of encoding algorithm to be used for encoding the tiles, wherein M tiles are encoded for each image, each tile being encoded according to a first encoding format or a second encoding format, each tile having a designated tile location within each image; specifying a rotating pattern to be used for encoding the tiles over a sequence of N images, the rotating pattern comprising encoding only certain tiles of each image using the first encoding format, and rotating the tile locations selected for the first encoding format over the N images to ensure that all M tiles have been encoded according to the first encoding format across the N images; and encoding the sequence of N images using the rotating pattern.

A computer-implemented system and method for streaming video from a server to a client are described. For example, a method according to one embodiment comprises: receiving at the server a request for video content from the client; in response to the request, determining the hardware/software configuration of the client; generating and/or selecting a temporary decoder based on the hardware/software configuration of the client; transmitting the temporary decoder to the client, the client installing the temporary decoder; encoding and streaming the requested video content from the server to the client, the video content being encoded based on the capabilities of the temporary decoder, the video content being decoded by the temporary decoder and rendered on the client; detecting that the client has ended the session with the server; and in response to detecting that the client has ended the session, temporarily disabling and/or removing the temporary decoder from the client.

For example, a method according to one embodiment comprises: encoding a plurality of video frames or portions thereof according to a first encoding format; transmitting the plurality of encoded video frames or portions to a client device; receiving feedback information from the client device, the feedback information usable to determine whether data contained in the video frames or portions has been successfully received and/or decoded; in response to detecting that one or more video frames or portions thereof have not been successfully received and/or decoded, determining a number of video frames or portions thereof which have not been successfully received and/or decoded and: (1) if the number of video frames or portions thereof which have not been successfully received and/or decoded is above a specified threshold, then encoding a new video frame or portion thereof according to a second encoding format, the second encoding format comprising a format which is not dependent on previously-transmitted video frames or portions thereof; or (2) if the number of video frames or portions thereof which have not been successfully received and/or decoded is below a specified threshold, then encoding a new video frame or portion thereof according to the first encoding format, the new video frame encoded to be dependent on a last known successfully received video frame or portion thereof; and transmitting the new video frame or portion thereof to the client device.

Methods having corresponding apparatus and computer-readable media comprise: receiving television signals and a message at an apparatus, wherein the television signals include an NTSC television signal and an ATSC television signal, wherein the message represents first and second arrival times representing absolute times of arrival at the apparatus of a first wavefront of the NTSC and ATSC television signals, respectively; measuring third and fourth arrival times, based on a local clock, after receiving the message, wherein the third and fourth arrival times represent times of arrival at the apparatus of a second wavefront of the NTSC and ATSC television signals, respectively; and providing a clock correction signal for the local clock based on the first arrival time, the second arrival time, the third arrival time, and the fourth arrival time.
