Uncompressed Video Packet Header with Color Component Bit Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for transmitting uncompressed video data packets face issues where changes in the number of bits for each color component or pixel bit number during transmission prevent receiver devices from processing the data correctly.
Innovation Solution
Generating and including color component bit information and pixel bit information in the packets to specify the number of bits for each color component and pixel, allowing for flexible configurations such as 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 bits, and ensuring that each color component can have the same or different bit numbers, which are included in the packet header.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If uncompressed video data is transmitted with flexible bit configurations for different color components, then the adaptability and quality of video transmission are improved, but the complexity of packet generation and processing increases due to the need to manage and specify bit information for each color component
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by including bit information (color component bit information and pixel bit information) in the packet header before the actual video data. This allows the receiver to know in advance how to process the incoming data, specifying the number of bits for each color component (R, G, B, Y, Cb, Cr) and total pixel bits. The bit information is generated and attached to packets in advance, enabling flexible bit configurations (6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 bits per component) without increasing processing complexity during reception.
2Reliability
If bit information is included in every packet to enable accurate processing, then the reliability of video data transmission is improved, but the amount of data and bandwidth requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by including bit information only in the packet header rather than repeating it in every packet body. The color component bit information (5 bits) and pixel bit information (5 bits) are specified once per packet header, allowing different bit configurations for different color components locally within the same packet structure. This ensures processing accuracy for each packet while minimizing redundant data transmission, as the bit information is efficiently packed in the header and applies to the entire packet's video data.
