Infrastructure electronics equipment incorporates infrastructure Local-Site Transports (LSTs). LSTs convey payload sampled signals over imperfect electromagnetic (EM) pathways whose physical properties are usually unknown when the equipment (e.g., Cameras, Displays, Set-Top Boxes) is manufactured. Prior LSTs hedge against EM pathway degradation in several ways: requiring high-quality cables (e.g., HDMI); restricting transmission distance, (e.g., HDMI); and/or reducing quality, via compression, to extend transmission distance somewhat (e.g., Ethernet). The subject of this disclosure is an infrastructure LST for sampled signals that causes the physical errors inevitably arising from propagation of sensory payloads over imperfect EM pathways to manifest in a perceptually benign manner, leveraging legacy infrastructure and reducing costs to achieve a favorable ratio of fidelity to transmission distance.

Analog video transport over imperfect electromagnetic pathways

The subject of this disclosure is applying improved techniques to media signal communication as well as control and status exchange to implement a diversity of media interfaces, achieving suitable media communication results despite EM propagation challenges.

Transporting sampled analog signals over multiple electromagnetic pathways

A video stream is encoded using spread spectrum video transport and sent as an analog signal to a display of a VR visor where a decoder integrated with a source driver decodes the analog signal and drives the display. The analog signal is sent wirelessly to the display where it is received, converted to wired format, decoded and displayed. A wireless SSVT analog signal is received at the headset processor and forwarded to the VR visor for reception, conversion, decoding and display. A wireless SSVT analog signal is received at the processor, converted to wired format, sent wirelessly to the display where it is received at a receiver, converted to wired format, decoded and displayed. A video stream is stored in persistent storage on the headset processor using SSVT encoding. The decoder integrated with a source driver of a display is implemented directly on the glass of the display panel.

A video display includes a display panel with gate drivers and source drivers. Each of said the source drivers is arranged to receive a discrete-time continuous-amplitude signal representing a video stream over a transmission medium and to decode the signal using demodulation to produce a plurality of samples for output on outputs of the source drivers. At least one of the source drivers is arranged to extract a gate driver timing control signal from the signal and to output the gate driver control signal to the gate drivers in order to synchronize the gate drivers with outputs of the source drives, whereby the video stream is displayed on the display panel of the display unit.

Spread-spectrum video transport integration with display drivers

A timing controller of a display set is integrated with an encoder for transport of analog signals between a display controller and source drivers of the display panel. The timing controller and integrated encoder are within an integrated circuit and are part of a chipset. The integrated circuit is located immediately after the SoC of a display set or is integrated within the SoC. A video signal sent to the timing controller chip is unpacked into sample values which are permuted into vectors of samples, one vector per encoder. Each vector is converted to analog, encoded and the analog levels are sent to the source drivers which decode into analog samples. Or, each digital vector is encoded and then converted to analog. A line buffer uses a memory to present a row of pixel information to the encoders. A mobile telephone has an integrated TCON with SSVT transmitter.

This invention relates to Single Instruction-stream Multiple Data-stream (SIMD) computer architecture. A SIMD computer typically comprises one or more single-chip Processing Element (PE) modules, each having one or more PEs and interfaces to multi-chip subsystems (MCSs). The PEs bear the brunt of a SIMD computation's workload, while MCSs provide coordination among PEs. In one aspect, this invention comprises augmenting the PE module with a multiplicity of clocks so as to regulate each PE and each MCS at its maximum rate of operation. In a further aspect, this invention comprises augmenting the PE modules with the ability to store instruction sequences and to provide repeated instruction sequences at the highest possible rate within the PE module. A SIMD computer allocates a greatest possible proportion of total chip-area to PEs. As determined by the electrical characteristics of the VLSI-based implementation process, the maximum operation rates of the PEs and MCSs exceed the rate of the global system clock. The invention comprises enhanced SIMD computers that exhibit the highest possible throughput-to-area ratio of any VLSI-based multi-processor.
