  • Video load balancing and error detection based on measured channel bandwidth
    Patent number: 10972720
    Abstract: An interconnect apparatus performs real time scoring and data throughput measurement of parallel data channels. The scoring and measurement information is communicated as feedback across the interconnect. Processing circuitry in the interconnect apparatus routes data to channels that have the best performance and reduces the data rate on channels that have lower performance based on the feedback information. This provides a method of dynamic load balancing to achieve optimal video data rates in a dynamic impedance environment. The interconnect apparatus also adjusts phase and data sampling times for improved fidelity of data transported across the interface.

  • Method for encoding raw high frame rate video via an existing HD video architecture
    Patent number: 10701367
    Abstract: A system for transporting fast frame rate video data from a high frame rate image sensor mosaics and spreads the fast frame rate video data in 1920×1080p30 video frames for transporting via an existing standard video architecture. Packing information, spreading information, and unique ID/timestamps for each frame is encoded in metadata and inserted in ancillary metadata space of the 1080p30 video frames. A robust encoding scheme generates the metadata and ensures that the transported video can be reassembled into its original fast frame rate form after being spread over multiple channels.
