  • Multichannel video port interface using no external memory
    Patent number: 9380260
    Abstract: This invention is a video line encapsulation protocol which allows multiple low definition video streams to be combined into a single super frame of high definition video data. Each super frame is formed of individual lines from plural lower definition video input signals. The high definition video frames include meta data in each line identifying the video input source, line and frame. This meta data enables the super frames to be separated into their component input signals within a video processing digital signal processor.
