IMPROVED DATA HANDLING FOR MODULAR DISPLAY SYSTEMS

摘要

A modular display system is provided that incorporates video compression for the efficient transmission of video or image data. Each module within a modular display system includes a codec, either in hardware or software, to decompress an image or video prior to displaying the image or video. By including a codec for the decompression of image or video data, the system enables the efficient transmission of high-quality image or data files with a lower bit rate transmission system. In a preferred embodiment, a wavelet-based codec is employed to enable spatial subdivision of a compressed image or video file prior to transmission to the display modules forming the modular display.
