Methods and systems for optimizing visual data communication

A method of transmitting visual data, the method comprising:

• capturing a synchronization video comprising one or more synchronization code sequences using a video camera;
• parsing and decoding the one or more synchronization code sequences;
• determining, using one or more processors, which of the one or more synchronization code sequences are compatible for visual data transmission based on decoding the one or more synchronization code sequences, wherein determining that a synchronization code sequence is compatible for visual data transmission comprises determining that there are no errors in decoding the synchronization code sequence;
• displaying an indication of which of the one or more synchronization code sequences are compatible for visual data transmission;
• capturing a data code sequence using the video camera;
• and
• decoding the data code sequence.

A system for transmitting visual data comprising:

• a processing system comprising one or more processors;
• and
• a memory system comprising one or more computer-readable media, wherein the one or more computer-readable media contain instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to perform operations comprising:
• displaying a synchronization video comprising one or more synchronization code sequences, wherein each of the one or more synchronization code sequences is displayed at a one or more of a different frame rate, a different resolution, and a different format;
• receiving a selected synchronization code sequence of the one or more synchronization code sequences;
• and
• displaying a data code sequence corresponding to the selected synchronization code sequence, wherein the data code sequence comprises encoded data.
