Video samples from one or more cameras of a
mobile device are sent as analog levels to the device'
s system-on-a-
chip (SoC) or other processor. Analog levels are either analog video samples or an encoded form of video samples. The samples are converted to digital and interpolated within the SoC to produce digital RGB samples suitable for display. Alternatively, analog video samples are interpolated within the SoC using analog
processing to produce analog RGB samples. Or, only G-sampling is sent to the SoC and processed using analog
processing. After
processing within the SoC, the samples are sent as analog levels or in an encoded form to the corresponding
receiver of the display, which is integrated with the column driver. The digital functions of the display's DDIC are either built into the SoC or connected to separate circuitry via a MIPI DSI interface.
