System and method for transmitting video signals

摘要

A video signal transmission system which includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter converts digital video signals into serial video data by time division multiplexing; generates header data in a cycle of a divided clock signal produced by dividing a reference clock signal of the digital video signals; and provides a transmission signal in synchronization with a transmitter system clock signal, the transmission signal including a train of blocks each including the header data and a predetermined amount of the serial video data in that order. The receiver receives the transmission signal provided via a cable; separates the serial video data in the received transmission signal into data pieces representing the three primary colors in accordance with the header data detected in the received transmission signal and generates a reproduced reference clock signal; and outputs the data pieces representing the three primary colors as the digital video signals in synchronization with the reproduced reference clock signal.
