  • Publication number: 20210400357
    Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting high-definition video. A device used electrically connects to graphics processing units (GPU) and a network switch. Each GPU comprises a circuit board, video transmission interfaces, Internet protocol interfaces, and a mobile peripheral-component-interface-express module (M×M) video chip module. The M×M video chip module is designed as industrial standard M×M. Only a circuit board is required for video transmission. Based on specifications of software defined video over ethernet (SDVoE), video signals of the second version of high definition multimedia interface are transformed onto an IP network with no time delay and no compression while fabricating a video card of SDVoE output. GPUs can be replaced through generations no matter how M×M is changed. By replacing the M×M video chip module without redesigning the whole video card, resources waste is effectively decreased with energy saving and carbon reduction.
