Abstract
A video generating system and a video generating method, which combine images generated by a plurality of different image sensors to generate output images, are provided. In the inventive video generating system and method, the image sensors share a signal transmission interface to transmit image data and synchronization signals in a time-shared manner to reduce the complexity of the signal transmission interface.
Claims22
A video generating system, comprising:
- a plurality of image sensors, arranged to generate a plurality of images and a plurality of synchronization signals corresponding to the images;
- and
- a combining circuit, coupled to the image sensors, arranged to generate a plurality of output images according to the images, and generate a plurality of output synchronization signals corresponding to the output images according to the synchronization signals;
- wherein the image sensors comprise a first image sensor and a second image sensor;
- and when the combining circuit receives image data of at least a first image generated by the first image capturer, the combining circuit does not receive image data of at least a second image generated by the second image capturer at the same time.
