Abstract: A method and apparatus that provides a high resolution still image. The method includes receiving a plurality of images in which high resolution image are interspersed with low resolution images. When a still image command is received, a high resolution image is retrieved from the plurality of images to be displayed.

Abstract: A method provides for the signaling of a still image capture during video capture, the method including a step of receiving a still image frame capture command in a push model mechanism. The method also includes a step for capturing an image frame; and, modifying a set of bits in an image plane in the image frame; wherein the set of bits in the image plane indicates that the image frame is a still image frame. An apparatus for performing the method is also provided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptively transferring a time varying signal over a bus. According to the method, data representing the time varying signal by a specified digital representation is requested. A first number of data elements are transferred during a first time period, and an allocated bandwidth value representing a data transfer rate achieved in the transfer is then determined. The requested digital representation is subsequently adjusted according to the allocated bandwidth value. An apparatus of the present invention includes a processor and a host controller coupled to a processor bus. A source of digital values representing a time varying signal is coupled to the host controller. A memory coupled to the processor bus contains a data request routine for requesting digital values representing the time varying signal at a selected quality level.
