System and method for sending video data over a wireless channel

A transmitter for transmitting video for a display panel comprising N regions, numbered 1 through N, wherein N is a positive integer, the transmitter being configured to:

• identify, for a first frame of video, a first region of most importance, from among the N regions;
• transmit data from the first frame of video, one region at a time, beginning with the first region of most importance, by region number in cyclic order, until a first frame transmission interval corresponding to the first frame of video has elapsed;
• identify, for a second frame of video, a second region of most importance, from among the N regions, the second region of most importance being different from the first region of most importance;
• and
• transmit data from the second frame of video, one region at a time, beginning with the second region of most importance, by region number in cyclic order, until a second frame transmission interval corresponding to the second frame of video has elapsed.

A method for transmitting video over a wireless link, the method comprising:

• storing a first frame of video data in a buffer;
• dividing the first frame into N regions, N being a positive integer;
• sending, over the wireless link, video data from a first subset of the N regions, and not sending the video data from a second subset of the N regions, the first subset and the second subset being disjoint and together including all of the N regions,
• storing a second frame of video data in a buffer;
• dividing the second frame into the N regions;
• and
• sending, over the wireless link, video data from a third subset of the N regions and not sending the video data from a fourth subset of the N regions,
• the regions of the second subset being in the third subset.
