Abstract: This disclosure describes an external video locking and synchronization device (104) in communication with a video source (102) and a target device (106). The external video locking and synchronization device (104) provides a video receiver (202), a memory (208), and a locking and synchronization circuitry (204). The video receiver (202) receives a video signal from the video source (102). The video signal has one or more video frames, each being associated with clocking information and frame synchronization information. The memory (208) is in communication with the video receiver (202) and stores the clocking information and the frame synchronization information. The locking and synchronization circuitry (204) adjusts vertical frequency of the video signal by a predetermined value; and generates a synchronized video signal for the target device (106), where the synchronized video signal is locked into the video signal.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a method and system for encoding an RGB24 video signal (504) having multiple video frames. An RGB video frame is received and is split into red, green, and blue data. The received RGB video frame is converted into a first YUV frame (508-1) having Y data same as the red data and a second YUV frame (508-2) having Y data same as the green data. The blue data is segmented into a first data segment having 0-127 values and a second data segment having 128-255 values of the blue color component. The first data segment and the second data segment are embedded as the UV data of the first YUV frame (508-1) and the second YUV frame (508-2) respectively. The first YUV frame (508-1) and the second YUV frame (508-2) are encoded based on a timestamp same as that associated with the received RGB frame.
