  • Patent number: 8432954
    Abstract: A video processing system may include a video deserializer, a video serializer and a programmable video processing device. The video deserializer may have an input for receiving a serial data stream containing video data and a serial to pseudo-parallel converter, coupled to the serial data stream, for generating a plurality of serial output lanes from the serial data stream. The video serializer may have a plurality of inputs for receiving serial data streams and a pseudo-parallel to serial converter, coupled to the plurality of input serial data streams, for generating a single serial data stream from the plurality of input serial data streams. The programmable video processing device may be coupled to the video deserializer and the video serializer, and may have a plurality of interface pins for receiving the plurality of serial output lanes from the deserializer and for transmitting the plurality of serial data streams to the serializer.

  • Patent number: 8335433
    Abstract: Certain pins of an XFP connector are re-purposed to enable the connector to receive, for example, four 11.88 Gb/s serial data streams (for a receiver), or output four 11.88 Gb/s serial data streams (for a transmitter). The four data streams are wavelength division multiplexed inside the XFP module for transmission over a single optical fiber, providing a total interface capacity of 47.52 Gb/s. An XFP receiver module is defined to convert the WDM signal back to four 11.88 Gb/s serial data streams.
