Multi-Module Video Play System for 16K Display Resolution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional 16K display devices lack 16K video sources and play devices capable of processing them, resulting in an inability to display a full and real video image at 16K resolution.
Innovation Solution
A video play system comprising multiple play modules and a display module, where each play module receives a video source of a first resolution (e.g., 8K), decodes, and transcodes it to generate target video data, which is then outputted to the display module to display a video image at a second resolution (e.g., 16K) by dividing the display area into corresponding channels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional play devices decode and transcode 8K video sources and amplify/copy video data to convert 8K display resolution into 16K display resolution, then 16K display devices can display video images, but the image quality cannot represent real 16K video sources and cannot represent a real display effect of the 16K display devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the 16K display screen into four separate 8K display areas, with each play module responsible for decoding and transcoding a specific portion of the video source to correspond to its designated display area. This segmentation allows each module to process video data independently, ensuring that the displayed image accurately represents true 16K resolution content rather than amplified 8K content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs asymmetric distribution of video data across multiple play modules, where each module handles a specific segment of the video stream. This asymmetric approach enables the system to maintain authentic 16K resolution by processing video sources in divided portions rather than uniformly processing the entire video through a single module.
2Device complexity
If 16K display devices use conventional play devices that can only decode and transcode 8K or below video sources, then the play device complexity is reduced, but the display device cannot play full and real video images at 16K resolution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple play modules, each capable of processing 8K video sources, to collectively handle 16K video sources. By merging the capabilities of several 8K-compatible modules, the system achieves 16K video processing capability without requiring each individual module to be complex enough to handle native 16K sources alone.
Solution Approach 2:
Each play module is designed with universal functionality to decode and transcode video sources at 8K resolution and above. This multi-functional design allows the same module architecture to serve both 8K and 16K display requirements, enhancing adaptability while maintaining relatively simple individual module designs.
3Measurement precision
If the display module displays video images by receiving target video data from multiple play modules, then the display of full and real 16K video images is enabled, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video data processing task across multiple play modules, with each module handling a specific portion of the video stream. This segmentation distributes the processing load and simplifies the data management requirements for the display module, as it receives organized, segmented video data from multiple sources rather than processing a single complex 16K stream.

AI summary
A video play system, a video play device, and a video play method are provided. The video play system includes: a display module and a plurality of play modules electrically connected to the display module. The plurality of play modules individually decode and transcode a video source having first resolution to generate target video data, and simultaneously output the target video data generated themselves to the display module. The display module plays a video image having second resolution according to multiple channels of the target video data.
