Systems and methods for direct data transmission in image processing systems

A method comprising:

• receiving, by circuitry of an image signal processing (ISP) core, image data;
• receiving, responsive to a first mode of operation, by at least one of a video core and a display core, the received image data via a bus that bypasses a memory device;
• and
• receiving, responsive to a second mode of operation, by at least one of the video core and the display core, the image data from the memory device instead of via the bus.

A system comprising:

• an image signal processing (ISP) core comprising circuitry configured to receive image data;
• at least one data bus coupled to the ISP core and to each of a video core and a display core, the at least one data bus being configured to provide a data path that bypasses a memory device;
• and
• wherein, in a first mode of operation, the ISP core comprises circuitry configured to transmit the image data concurrently to both the video core and the display core via the at least one data bus, each of the video core and the display core being configured to process the image data independently.
