Abstract
A projector includes a division processing section that generates a plurality of partial frames each containing at least part of a frame of source image data and an image output section that outputs the plurality of generated partial frames to downstream projectors in an order set in advance. The downstream projectors each include an image input section to which the plurality of generated partial frames are inputted from the higher-level projector and a control section that selects a partial frame to be displayed based on the input order of the partial frames inputted to the image input section and causes a display section to display the selected partial frame.
Claims10
A display system comprising:
- a first display apparatus;
- and
- a second display apparatus,
- wherein the first display apparatus includes
- a first display section that displays an image,
- a first input section to which a source image is inputted,
- a frame generation section that generates a plurality of partial frames each containing at least part of a frame of the source image,
- an output section that outputs the plurality of partial frames generated by the frame generation section to the second display apparatus in an order set in advance, and
- a first display control section that causes the first display section to display any of the partial frames generated by the frame generation section, and
- the second display apparatus includes
- a second display section that displays an image,
- a second input section to which the partial frames are inputted from the first display apparatus, and
- a second display control section that selects one of the partial frames to be displayed by the second display section based on an input order of the partial frames inputted to the second input section and causes the second display section to display the selected partial frame, and
- wherein a plurality of the second display apparatuses are connected to the first display apparatus in daisy chain connection,
- the frame generation section takes the plurality of partial frames from one frame that forms the source image to generate the plurality of partial frames, and
- the output section continuously outputs the plurality of partial frames generated from the one frame of the source image.
An image processing apparatus connected to an external display apparatus, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a frame generation section that takes a partial frame from one frame that forms a source image in such a way that the partial frame contains at least part of the one frame of the source image to generate a plurality of the partial frames;
- and
- an output section that outputs the plurality of partial frames generated by the frame generation section from the one frame of the source image to the external display apparatus in an order set in advance,
- wherein the frame generation section takes the plurality of partial frames from one frame that forms the source image to generate the plurality of partial frames, and
- the output section continuously outputs the plurality of partial frames generated from the one frame of the source image.
A display method for displaying a source image by a plurality of display apparatuses connected to each other in daisy chain connection, the method comprising:
- generating a plurality of partial frames from one frame of the source image in such a way that the partial frames each contain at least part of the one frame of the source image;
- transmitting the plurality of partial frames generated from the one frame of the source image in an order set in advance to the plurality of display apparatuses;
- and
- causing the plurality of display apparatuses to each select one of the partial frames to be displayed by the display apparatus based on an input order of the plurality of partial frames generated from the one frame of the source image and display the selected partial frames,
- wherein
- generating the plurality of partial frames includes taking the plurality of partial frames from one frame that forms the source image to generate the plurality of partial frames, and
- transmitting the plurality of partial frames includes continuously outputting the plurality of partial frames generated from the one frame of the source image.
