| 26. A method for generating a plurality of information unit streams, provided with diverse unit rates, from at least one information
unit stream having a pre-defined unit rate and distributing the plurality of the information unit streams, the method comprising
the steps of:
inputting the at least one information unit stream from an at least one information unit stream generator device to a plurality
of information unit rate control devices;
controlling the operation of the plurality of information unit rate control devices via a plurality of unit rate control mechanisms
in order to provide diverse unit rates to a plurality of output information unit streams;
storing an at least one information unit stream at a low video frame rate into a first storage area;
storing the at least one information unit stream at a high video frame rate into a second storage area;
selectively outputting the at least one information unit stream stored in the first storage area and in the second storage
area;
continuously deleting the at least one information unit stream stored in the second storage area; and
stopping the continuous deletion if an event was detected.
