Device and method for performing multiple view imaging by means of a plurality of video processing devices

A method for performing multiple view imaging by means of at least a first and a second video processing devices, each of the at least first and second video processing devices being for displaying a video image on one or more display devices, the method comprising:

• receiving at least a first sequence of image frames comprising at least a second sequence of image frames and a third sequence of image frames, the at least second and third sequences of images frames being for generating at least first and second video images, respectively,
• whereby the individual image frames of the second sequence are multiplexed with the individual image frames of the third sequence so as to form frame pairs, each frame pair containing an image frame from the at least second sequence of image frames and from the third sequences of ma e frames and
• deriving at least a fourth sequence of image frames, the at least fourth sequences of image frames being for generating at least one of the first and second video images, the fourth sequence being derived from the first sequence by repeating at least one of the frame pairs or by eliminating at least one of the frame pairs.
• the method comprising generating a linking signal for synchronizing images displayed by the at least one of the first and second video processing devices on the display device.

A controller for controlling the operation of at least first and second video processing devices in an imaging system for displaying multiple view images,

• each of the at least first and second video processing devices being for displaying a video image on one or more display devices, each video processing device receiving at least a first sequence of image frames comprising at least a second sequence of image frames and a third sequence of image frames, the at least second and third sequences of image frames being for generating at least first and second video images, respectively,
• whereby the individual image frames of the second sequence are multiplexed with the individual image frames of the third sequence so as to form frame pairs, each frame pair containing an image frame from the at least second sequence of image frames and from the third sequences of image frames and
• each video processing device outputting at least a fourth sequence of image frames, the fourth sequences of image frames being for generating at least one of the first or second video images,
• the fourth sequence of image frames from the at least first and second video processing devices being derived from the first sequence by repeating at least one of the frame pairs or by eliminating at least one of the frame pairs, and
• wherein the controller is adapted to generate a linking signal for synchronizing images displayed by at least one of the at least first and second video processing devices on the display.
