Abstract
A sensor data processing apparatus can be coupled to multiple image sensors of different types. The apparatus adjusts frame transmission rates based on the number of sensors and type of image data sourced by the sensors to optimize utilization of bandwidth on a number of transport channels. The apparatus can be configured to transport selected frames in the image data that are identified as critical frames at a higher rate than non-selected frames in the image data.
Claims16
A method for transporting video data, comprising:
- coupling an ultra high definition (UHD) image sensor to a plurality of Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) data paths;
- coupling a display memory to the plurality of SMPTE data paths;
- transporting image data in a critical region of an image output by the UHD image sensor to a first designated space of the display memory on the SMPTE data paths, wherein the first designated space is designated for receiving only image data in the critical region;
- and
- transporting image data in a non-critical region of the image to a second designated space of the display memory on the SMPTE data paths, wherein the second designated space is different from the first designated memory space.
