Abstract
Methods and systems for mosaic mode display of video are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include generating video data for a plurality of video windows using a single video feeder module comprising a single video scaler and a single video capture module. The video data for the video windows may be generated in a single frame time. Register DMA may be used to transfer register update data (RUD) to a plurality of registers to configure video processing for generating video data for a video window. The plurality of RUDs may be generated in response to a single interrupt to a processor, and may be configured as a linked list or stored sequentially in memory. The configuring may occur prior to generating video data for the corresponding video window. Video processing for a subsequent video window may be configured automatically after generating video data for the present video window.
