System and Method for Compressing Video and Reformatting the Compressed Video to Simulate Uncompressed Video With a Lower Bandwidth

摘要

Presented is a video distribution system that includes a transmitter that receives an uncompressed source video signal and includes a compressor for compressing the uncompressed source video signal into a compressed video signal having a bandwidth lower than the bandwidth of the uncompressed source video signal, a reformatter configured for reformatting the compressed video signal to simulate an uncompressed video signal having a bandwidth lower than the bandwidth of the uncompressed video signal. The video distribution system also includes a receiver that receives the compressed video signal that simulates an uncompressed video signal and includes a decompressor configured for decompressing the compressed video signal that simulates an uncompressed video signal into a decompressed video signal, and output port configured for transmitting the decompressed video signal to a display.

1. A video distribution system, comprising:
a plurality of physical transmission layers; a plurality of video links, a first of the plurality of video links being a first of the plurality of physical transmission layers, and a second of the plurality of video links being a second of the physical transmission layers; a video signal transmitter comprising:
a first input port configured for receiving an uncompressed source video signal that is incompatible with a first of the plurality of video links;a compressor configured for compressing the uncompressed source video signal into a compressed video signal having a bandwidth lower than the bandwidth of the uncompressed source video signal,a reformatter configured for reformatting the compressed video signal to simulate an uncompressed video signal having a bandwidth lower than the bandwidth of the uncompressed video signal and that is compatible with the first of the plurality of video links, anda first output port configured for transmitting the compressed video signal that simulates an uncompressed video signal through the first of the plurality of video links; and a video signal receiver comprising:
a second input port configured for receiving the compressed video signal that simulates an uncompressed video signal,a decompressor configured for decompressing the compressed video signal that simulates an uncompressed video signal into a decompressed video signal, anda second output port configured for transmitting the decompressed video signal through a second of the plurality of video links.
