发明名称 Transmission and detection of multi-channel signals in reduced channel format
摘要 Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to transmission and detection of multi-channel signals in reduced channel format. An embodiment of a method for transmitting data includes determining whether a first type or a second type of content data is to be transmitted, where the first type of content data is to be transmitted at a first multiple of a base frequency and the second type of data is to be transmitted at a second multiple of the base frequency. The method further includes selecting one or more channels from a plurality of channels based on the type of content data, clocking a frequency on the first or second multiple of the base frequency according to the type of content data in the selected channels, modifying the content data to fit within a single output channel, and transmitting the modified data via a single output channel at the chosen multiple of the base frequency.

主权项 1. A method for transmitting data comprising: determining whether a first type or a second type of content data is to be transmitted, wherein the first type of content data is to be transmitted at a first multiple of a base frequency and the second type of data is to be transmitted at a second multiple of the base frequency, wherein the content data is high definition audio visual data, the content data comprising a video data period, a control period, and a data island period; selecting one or more channels from a plurality of channels based on the type of content data; clocking a frequency on the first or second multiple of the base frequency according to the type of content data in the selected channels; modifying the content data to fit within a single output channel; and transmitting the modified data via a single output channel at the chosen multiple of the base frequency, wherein: for video data of the second type, data transmission comprises elimination of a channel that does not contain meaningful data,for control period data of the second type, the data transmission comprises omitting data in one of the channels that is fixed to a constant, wherein the data from the other channels is transmitted at the second multiple of the base frequency via the single output channel, andfor data island data of the second type, data transmission comprises selecting all channels and compressing the data to fit into two channels, wherein the compressed data is transmitted at the second multiple of the base frequency via the single output channel.
