Multi-Screen Image Transmission Timing Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image transmission apparatuses for multi-screen displays face issues with display timing mismatches and high-resolution image synchronization across multiple screens, leading to delayed image playback and inefficient content distribution.
Innovation Solution
An image transmission apparatus comprising an operation server that splits and schedules image sources, a router for distributing these sources to client terminals, and display units, with an image timing adjustment unit ensuring synchronized playback across all screens by checking and adjusting timing discrepancies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional multiple split screens are displayed to provide diverse contents, then content diversity is improved, but image playback speed and download speed deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the image source into multiple split screens corresponding to different client terminals, allowing each terminal to receive and playback its designated content segment independently through router-based distribution, thereby maintaining content diversity while improving playback efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The operation server pre-processes and splits image sources into multiple segments before transmission, and the router pre-establishes distribution paths to client terminals, enabling faster playback by eliminating real-time processing delays during content delivery
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional multiple split screens are displayed to play back images, then content variety is improved, but image download speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The router acts as an intermediary device that receives image sources from the operation server and distributes them to multiple client terminals simultaneously, enabling parallel download paths that reduce overall download time while maintaining content variety across different screens
Solution Approach 2:
The image source is segmented into multiple parts and distributed to different client terminals through the router, allowing simultaneous download of multiple content segments across different networks paths, thereby reducing total download time while preserving content diversity
3Adaptability or versatility
If split screens are used to display diverse contents, then screen functionality is improved, but display timing synchronization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The operation server implements timing monitoring and adjustment mechanisms that receive feedback from client terminals about their display timing status, and automatically adjust transmission timing or client playback timing to maintain synchronized display across all split screens while preserving screen functionality

AI summary
An image transmission apparatus for a multi-screen for reducing display timing differences of images displayed on the multi-screen is proposed. To this end, the apparatus is a video transmission apparatus for a multi-screen, including an operating server that generates and transmits an image source according to image scheduling; a router that receives an image from the operating server and transmits the image to a preset IP address; a plurality of client terminals for which IP addresses are respectively set and which receive images corresponding to the IP addresses from the router; and a plurality of display units provided to correspond to the plurality of client terminals and displaying an image transmitted from the respective client terminals on a multi-screen.
