VIDEO MULTIVIEWER SYSTEM WITH SERIAL DIGITAL INTERFACE AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A video multiviewer system may include a plurality of video scalers operating in parallel for generating initially scaled video streams by performing video scaling in at least one dimension on a plurality of video input streams. The video multiviewer system may also include at least one video cross-point switcher coupled downstream from the video scalers, and a processing unit coupled downstream from the video cross-point switcher for generating additionally scaled video streams by performing additional video scaling on the initially scaled video stream. The video scalers and the processing unit may communicate through the video cross-point switcher using a serial digital interface.
