  • Publication number: 20240080513
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to permit both real-time display of a picture represented by a non-compressed video signal on a television and display of a picture represented by a compressed video signal at any desired time by simultaneously transmitting the compressed video signal and non-compressed video signal via one interface. An STB packetizes a compressed video signal, and multiplexes the compressed video signal and a blanking signal combined with a non-compressed video signal. Thus, both the video signals are transmitted simultaneously. A picture represented by the non-compressed video signal is displayed on a television in real time. The compressed video signal is stored in a storage medium incorporated in the television, read at any user's desired time, and decoded so that a picture represented by the compressed video signal can be viewed at the user's desired time.

  • Publication number: 20240031553
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system capable of synthesizing (encoding) two images taken by two left and right cameras into a 3D video, and viewing the 3D image on a display. The system comprises a computer that uses two cameras with a resolution equivalent to half the number of horizontal pixels of a 3D display, to execute an application program, and arrange each pixel of the two cameras on pixels equivalent to the display. The checkered pattern configuration means that the pixels of the first scan line of the left camera are configured sequentially by skipping one position on the first scan line (odd-numbered rows) of the display, that is, only configured in odd-numbered columns; the pixels of the first scanning line of the right camera skip one position from the second column on the second scanning line (even-numbered row) of the display, that is, only configured in even-numbered.
