Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for encoding video pixels is provided in some embodiments. At least one encoder may encode a video pixel data as a symbol. A selection unit may select the symbol. A selection of the symbol is a function of a pixel format that is of one of a plurality of pixel formats employable the apparatus, system or method.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- a source, including:
- an encoder that encodes a pixel of video data as a symbol;
- a selection unit that selects the symbol, wherein a selection of the symbol is a function of a pixel format that is of one of a plurality of pixel formats employable by the apparatus;
- and
- a sink, including:
- a variable receiver that (i) receives output data from the source, (ii) generates a derived symbol, and (iii) regenerates a pixel clock pulse;
- and
- a variable decoder that receives the derived symbol and pixel clock pulse from the variable receiver and outputs video pixel data.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a pixel format at a sink;
- receiving a pixel symbol in an output data at the sink;
- regenerating a pixel clock pulse from the output data and from the pixel format;
- regenerating, at the sink, the pixel symbol from the output data;
- and
- decoding a pixel data from the pixel symbol through a using of the pixel clock pulse.
