Abstract
An image processing device includes a channel interface, including a data channel, a vertical synchronization line, a horizontal synchronization line, and a data enable line, and a combiner configured to convert N pieces of first image data (where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2) into second image data having a different image format, time-divide and output the second image data to the data channel, output N vertical synchronization signals for the second image data to the vertical synchronization line, and output N data enable signals for the second image data to the horizontal synchronization line and the data enable line.

An image processing device comprising:
- a channel interface comprising a data channel, a vertical synchronization line, a horizontal synchronization line, and a data enable line;
- and
- a combiner coupled to the channel interface and configured to
- convert N pieces of first image data, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, into second image data having a different image format,
- time-divide and output the second image data to the data channel,
- output N vertical synchronization signals for the second image data to the vertical synchronization line, and
- output N data enable signals for the second image data to the horizontal synchronization line and the data enable line.
An image processing device comprising:
- a channel interface comprising a data channel, a vertical synchronization line, a horizontal synchronization line, and a data enable line;
- a combiner coupled to the channel interface and configured
- to convert N pieces of first image data, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, into second image data having a different image format,
- time-divide and output the second image data to the data channel,
- output N vertical synchronization signals for the second image data to the vertical synchronization line, and
- output N data enable signals for the second image data to the horizontal synchronization line and the data enable line;
- and
- a splitter coupled to the channel interface and configured to
- receive the second image data through the data channel,
- receive the N vertical synchronization signals through the vertical synchronization line, and
- receive the N data enable signals through the horizontal synchronization line and the data enable line.
A method performed by an image processing device, the method comprising:
- converting N pieces of first image data, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, into second image data having a different image format;
- time-dividing and outputting the second image data to a data channel;
- outputting N vertical synchronization signals for the second image data to a vertical synchronization line;
- and
- outputting N data enable signals for the second image data to a horizontal synchronization line and a data enable line.
