METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING MULTIPLE 3-D VIDEO FORMATS

摘要

A method and system are provided in which a video feeder may receive video data from multiple sources. The video data from one or more of those sources may comprise three-dimensional (3D) video data. The video data from each source may be stored in corresponding different areas in memory during a capture time for a single picture. Each of the different areas in memory may correspond to a different window of multiple windows in an output video picture. The video data from each source may be stored in memory in a 2D format or in a 3D format, based on a format of the output video picture. When a 3D format is to be used, left-eye and right-eye information may be stored in different portions of memory. The video data may be read from memory to a single buffer during a feed time for a single picture.
