  • Publication number: 20150009095
    Abstract: An image display system includes a data output source, and receiving devices coupled to the data output source. The receiving devices decode a first packet header from the data output source to determine whether a first payload data associated with the first packet header is required by the receiving devices. Among the receiving devices, a first receiving device that requires the first payload data receives and displays the first payload data. Also among the receiving devices, a second receiving device that does not require the first payload data temporarily disables its data receiving function, and, before the data output source sends out a second packet header that the second receiving device requires, the second receiving device resumes its data receiving function and displays a second payload data.
