| 1. An array encoding system for processing high definition digital video data to generate an output data stream which is substantially
consistent with the H.264 video communications standard, said array encoding system comprising:
at least one input for receiving a high definition digital video data stream,
a video analyzer for analyzing the complexity of the high definition digital video stream,
a stat mux controller capable of processing the at least one input,
a video splitter for splitting the high definition digital video stream into a plurality of subsidiary data streams in accordance
with a predetermined criteria,
a plurality of video encoders responsive to commands from the stat mux controller for processing each subsidiary data stream
in accordance with an applicable encoding technique appropriate for encoding an H.264 complaint output, and
a stream combiner for combining the plurality of processed subsidiary data streams.
