[0068] Please refer again Figure 1 , the switching unit 202 is used to switch the line of the video interface female head 201 according to the type of the adapter cable 300. For example, if the adapter cable 300 is a USB adapter cable, the switching unit 202 switches the line to the USB interface in the video interface female head 201 according to the USB adapter cable, so as to transmit the video frame data between the adapter cable 300 and the video interface female head 201. For example, if the adapter cable 300 is an SDI adapter cable, the switching unit 202 switches the line to the SDI interface in the video interface female head 201 according to the SDI adapter cable, so as to transmit the video frame data between the adapter cable 300 and the video interface female head 201. For example, if the adapter cable 300 is an AHD adapter cable, the switching unit 202 switches the line to the AHD interface in the video interface female head 201 according to the AHD adapter cable, so as to transmit the video frame data between the adapter cable 300 and the video interface female head 201.

Even in some embodiments, the storage unit 205 is not used to store video encoding data. In one embodiment, the storage unit 205 may include a non-volatile storage part for storing the above-mentioned program data. In one embodiment, the storage unit 205 can be used as the memory of the main control unit 204 to cache the data in the process of the main control unit 204, and the program data is actually stored in a device outside the main control unit 204. The main control unit 204 is connected to an external device and calls the program data stored externally to perform corresponding processing. In one embodiment, the storage unit 205 may not be a part of the electronic device 200, but is set in a device outside the electronic device 200.

[0075] The wireless communication unit 206 may be a 4G / 5G communication unit. In one embodiment, the wireless communication unit 206 may not be a part of the electronic device 200 but may be disposed in a device other than the electronic device 200 .

[0076] It is understandable that the video coded data in the storage unit 205 can also be transmitted to other devices through the wireless communication unit 206. Accordingly, the video frame data can also be input into the electronic device 200 through the wireless communication unit 206, and encoded by the video codec unit 203 to form video coded data. In addition, the video coded data in the storage unit 205 can also be decoded by the video codec unit 203 to form video frame data.
