Abstract: This application provides example forward error correction (FEC) code design methods and example related devices. One example method includes determining a quantity of transmission lanes for transmitting data. A plurality of FEC working areas can be determined based on the quantity of transmission lanes, where a quantity of the plurality of FEC working areas is the same as the quantity of transmission lanes, and the plurality of FEC working areas are for performing check and error correction on the data. The data on a transmission lane of the transmission lanes can be evenly allocated to each of the plurality of FEC working areas. The data received by each of the plurality of FEC working areas can be processed by using the plurality of FEC working areas.

Abstract: A data transmission method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: obtaining service data; and sending first data, where the first data is obtained based on the service data, where a data structure of the first data is the same as a data structure of second data, the second data is for performing link training, and the link training is performed before the first data is sent.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a video switching method and a related device, and are applied to the multimedia field. The method in embodiments of this application includes: A video transmit end receives a video switching instruction when sending a first video frame, where the first video frame is one frame of video data of a first video stream that is being sent by the video transmit end; and the video transmit end switches video data in response to the video switching instruction when a first field blanking period after the first video frame arrives. In embodiments of this application, a video data switching process of the video transmit end may be controlled to occur in the field blanking period, and the video transmit end always sends a complete video frame to a video receive end.
