Video systems with video receivers for receiving video signals transmitted in analog format over a video link are described. An example video receiver includes an interferer identification circuit and an interferer removal circuit. The interferer identification circuit is configured to identify a periodic interference signal (e.g., from one or more of vertical blanking intervals (VBIs)) of a received video signal. The interferer removal circuit is configured to generate a filtered video signal, where generation of the filtered video signal includes, for each line of a given frame of the received video signal, generating an adjusted interference signal by adjusting a phase of the identified interference signal to match a phase of a periodic noise signal in at least a portion of a horizontal blanking interval (HBI) associated with the line, and subtracting the adjusted interference signal from a plurality of active pixel values of the line.

Disclosure herein includes descriptions of a method for transmission of digital audio over analog video data with a single cable. The method comprising receiving, by a video transmitter, a digital video signal and one of a digital or an analog audio signal. Sampling, by an audio analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the audio signal if it is an analog audio signal. Storing, in a First-in-First-Out (FIFO) buffer, digital audio data corresponding to the sampled analog audio signal; reading, by an arbiter, the digitized audio samples, in response detecting an availability of data in the FIFO buffer and formatting the serialized audio bits with a digital start code; inserting the serialized audio bits and the digital start code into a blanking period of the digital video signal, thereby generating a combined digital audio and video signal and converting, by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the combined digital audio and video signal to analog, thereby generating a combined analog audio and video stream including audio data in a native form; and transmitting the combined analog audio and video stream to a receiver in one direction. In another embodiment, an analog signal is transmitted in the opposite direction.

Methods, devices, systems and computer software/program code products include techniques for creating a deep frame buffer, such techniques being implementable in conjunction with an apparatus comprising a main camera and an array of buddy cameras, the main camera and the buddy cameras being operable to capture images; and techniques for creating at least one depth buffer, such techniques being implementable in conjunction with an apparatus comprising at least two cameras.

Techniques for selective display frame fetching are disclosed. Some example techniques disclosed herein cause at least one processor to at least determine if an indication of a new frame includes an indication of a flip event, and identify one or more dirty regions of the new frame based on the flip event. Disclosed example techniques also cause the at least one processor to fill a display buffer with the one or more dirty regions of the new frame, scan out the one or more dirty regions of the new frame from the display buffer to a display port, and apply an adaptive contrast and backlight enhancement based on a histogram of changes in the new frame.

Multiplexer (100) according to the present invention includes: an input unit (11) to which a plurality of image signals based on a first data communication standard are input, the image signals being acquired by respective imaging devices (2); an output unit (14) that outputs an image signal based on a second data communication standard having a data transfer rate lower than that of the first data communication standard; and a storage unit (12) that temporarily buffers the image signals input from the input unit (11). With such a multiplexer 100, it is possible to collectively convert the image data acquired by a plurality of imaging devices adopting a certain data communication standard into another data communication standard and suppress the data transfer delay caused by the conversion.

After a command to stop recording a video is received, an image capture device may buffer footage in a buffer memory. The buffer memory may be used as a post-capture cache. The footage buffered in the buffer memory may be appended to the end of previously captured footage, appended to the beginning of subsequently captured footage, and/or used to bridge two separately captured footage.

An image processing device includes an interface and a control circuit. The interface is configured to receive input line signals in synchronization with input horizontal synchronization signals, respectively. The control circuit is configured to store line image data contained in each of input line signals in the order of reception, generate internal horizontal synchronization signals, and output internal line signals containing the line image data in the input line signals, in synchronization with the internal horizontal synchronization signals, respectively. The input line signals include a first input line signal containing first line image data, and the internal line signals include a first internal line signal containing the first line image data. A horizontal cycle of the internal horizontal synchronization signal corresponding to the first internal line signal is less than a horizontal cycle of the input horizontal synchronization signal corresponding to the first input line signal.
