This paper describes the design and implementation of multimedia data processing elements for a home sewer platform. Generally, a home sewer can be considered as an integrated form of a multimedia data sewer, home control sewer, and home information sewer. As a multimedia data sewer, the proposed scheme has a digital TV receiver module and a multimedia codec module. Thus, watching digital TV and remote multimedia sewices are available in this platform. In addition, an error resilient scheme using digital watermarking is implemented to correct transmission errors in a noisy channel'.
