Title: Katsuji Matsuura: Innovator in Video Transmission Technology

Introduction

Katsuji Matsuura is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of video transmission technology, holding a total of 12 patents. His work primarily focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of HDMI systems.

Latest Patents

Matsuura's latest patents include a transmission system, transmission apparatus, and transmission method for transmitting video data. This innovative technology allows an HDMI source to determine whether an HDMI sink can receive a sub-signal based on the VSDB of E-EDID. When the HDMI sink is capable of receiving the sub-signal, the HDMI source adds this sub-signal to the pixel data of a main image. This main image is composed of pixel data with a smaller number of bits than that of the transmission pixel data sent by a transmitter. The constructed transmission pixel data is then transmitted through TMDS channels. Additionally, the HDMI source transmits a general control packet containing sub-signal information, indicating whether the sub-signal is included in the transmission pixel data during the control period of a vertical blanking period. This invention is applicable to HDMI technology.
