In this embodiment, M Remote program is executed in M platform respectively controls computer A 1~ A mon, in order to carry out communication by the long-distance management device 10 in network W and long-distance management system 1, to make to control computer A in M platform 1~ A min one or more in control computer produce and move a relevant control signal with keyboard or vernier and can be transferred into long-distance management device 10, and then management long-distance management device 10 and control P platform controlled computer B 1~ B p.In addition, this Remote program also can provide a management interface, for controlling computer A in platform 1~ A muser by long-range, long-distance management system 1 is managed.This Remote program can be combination or other any suitable application programs of a web browser (WebBrowser), web browser and a plug-in program.Computer A is controlled in this Remote program foundation 1~ A mthe difference of operating system may have different versions.This plug-in program provided by the supplier of long-distance management system.As P platform controlled computer B 1~ B pin one or more controlled computer when receiving control signal, Remote program makes this or this multiple stage controlled computer will export one or more signal of video signal according to control signal with coordinating of long-distance management system 1.
Because long-distance management device 10 is respectively by its P computer terminal port P 1~ P pcouple P platform controlled computer B 1~ B p, so P computer terminal port P 1~ P pone or more signal of video signal that this or this multiple stage controlled computer exports will be received.After selection via handover module SW, Q Image processing channel CH 1~ CH qthen can to from P computer terminal port P 1~ P pone or more (more than Q or Q) signal of video signal carry out image processing, wherein Q is less than or equal to P.Generally speaking, the Image processing channel that a current long-distance management device 10 possesses at most only has 4, that is Q is less than or equal to 4.Suppose that Q equals 4, that is long-distance management device 10 have 4 entity Image processing channel CH 1~ CH 4but, these 4 Image processing channel CH 1~ CH 4image processing can be carried out, to produce the image that can be supplied to middle control computer more than 4 independently to the multiple signal of video signal from more than 4 computer terminal ports.
Q Image processing channel CH 1~ CH qin each Image processing channel include differential receiver module 300, analog-to-digital converting module 301 and digital signal processing module 302 respectively.Wherein, differential receiver module 300 in order to after the differential wave being received from handover module SW is converted to single-ended signal, then is converted to digital signal by analog-to-digital converting module 301, and carries out follow-up signal process by digital signal processing module 302.But, in a further preferred embodiment, also same differential receiver module 300 can be shared by multiple analog-to-digital converting module 301 and digital signal processing module 302.
Central processing unit 12 and Q Image processing channel CH 1~ CH qand handover module SW forms communication, and control Q Image processing channel CH 1~ CH qand the running of handover module SW.In this embodiment, central processing unit 12 can control handover module SW optionally by the P of long-distance management device 10 computer terminal port P 1~ P pbe coupled to Q Image processing channel CH 1~ CH q, that is central processing unit 12 can control handover module SW by P computer terminal port P 1~ P pin arbitrary computer terminal port be coupled to Q Image processing channel CH 1~ CH qin arbitrary Image processing channel, also can make P computer terminal port P 1~ P pin arbitrary computer terminal port and Q Image processing channel CH 1~ CH qbetween form open circuit.
For example, central processing unit 12 can control handover module SW by Image processing channel CH 1couple computer terminal port P 1, cause Image processing channel CH 1received controlled computer B 1be sent to computer terminal port P 1the first signal of video signal, and Image processing channel CH 1image processing can be carried out to the first signal of video signal.Certainly, central processing unit 12 also can control handover module SW switching Image processing channel CH 1couple computer terminal port P 2, cause Image processing channel CH 1received controlled computer B 2be sent to computer terminal port P 2the second signal of video signal, and Image processing channel CH 1image processing can be carried out to the second signal of video signal.
In the present invention, from Q Image processing channel CH 1~ CH qin selected a certain Image processing channel can be divided into following two kinds to the operator scheme that the signal of video signal from computer terminal port is sampled:
Under physical channel pattern (first mode), Image processing channel CH 1the sample frequency of N number of image frame per second the signal of video signal from same computer terminal port can be sampled, and by analog-to-digital converting module 301, the signal of video signal from same computer terminal port is converted to continuous print N number of static image frame per second.For example, as shown in Figure 3, when central processing unit 12 controls handover module SW by computer terminal port P 1be coupled to Image processing channel CH 1time, be in the Image processing channel CH under first mode 1will with the sample frequency of N number of image frame per second to computer terminal port P 1be received from controlled computer B 1the first signal of video signal SG 1sample, and by analog-to-digital converting module 301 by the first signal of video signal SG 1be converted to continuous print N number of static image frame per second.In fact, N can be 30, that is is in the Image processing channel CH under first mode 1to the first signal of video signal SG 1sample frequency can be 30 image frames per second, but not as limit.
Refer to Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, under tunnel pattern (the second pattern), Image processing channel CH 2the sample frequency of a N1 per second image frame signal of video signal from a computer terminal port can be sampled, to obtain the first sampled data, and be converted into N1 per second static image frame by analog-to-digital converting module 301, and Image processing channel CH 2also with the sample frequency of a N2 per second image frame, another signal of video signal from another computer terminal port is sampled, to obtain the second sampled data, and be converted into N2 per second static image frame by analog-to-digital converting module 301, wherein N1 adds that N2 is equal to or less than N.That is, the central processing unit 12 be under the second pattern can control handover module SW in two different computer terminal port (such as computer terminal port P 2and P 3) between alternately switch.For example, as shown in Figure 4 A, under the very first time, when central processing unit 12 controls handover module SW by Image processing channel CH 2couple computer terminal port P 2time, Image processing channel CH 2can the sample frequency of a N1 per second image frame to computer terminal port P 2be received from controlled computer B 2the second signal of video signal SG 2sample, to obtain the first sampled data, and be converted into N1 per second static image frame by analog-to-digital converting module 301; As shown in Figure 4 B, under the second time, switch Image processing channel CH when central processing unit 12 controls handover module SW 2couple computer terminal port P 3time, Image processing channel CH 2can the sample frequency of a N2 per second image frame to computer terminal port P 3be received from controlled computer B 3the 3rd signal of video signal SG 3sample, to obtain the second sampled data, and be converted into N2 per second static image frame by analog-to-digital converting module 301.Under the 3rd time, again can as shown in Figure 4 A, central processing unit 12 controls handover module SW by Image processing channel CH 2couple computer terminal port P 2; Under the 4th time, again can as shown in Figure 4 B, central processing unit 12 controls handover module SW and switches Image processing channel CH 2couple computer terminal port P 3, all the other can the rest may be inferred, do not repeat separately.
In fact, due in the sampling process under first mode (as shown in Figure 3), except non-user assigns the instruction switching computer terminal port, otherwise handover module SW can't carry out the action switched, but in the sampling process of the second pattern (as shown in fig. 4 a and fig. 4b), even if user does not assign the instruction switching computer terminal port, handover module SW still can be subject to the control of central processing unit 12, in two different computer terminal port (such as computer terminal port P 1and P 2) between alternately carry out the effect that switches to realize two virtual image treatment channel.Therefore, under identical a period of time (such as a second), Image processing channel CH 2the number (N number of) of the image frame sampled under first mode will be greater than (or equaling) Image processing channel CH 2the number summation (N1+N2) of the image frame sampled under the second pattern.For example, suppose that N equals 30, and N1 and N2 is equal to 10, that is Image processing channel CH 2the sample frequency adopted under first mode is 30 image frames per second, and Image processing channel CH 2under the second pattern can the sample frequency of 10 image frames per second to computer terminal port P 2the second signal of video signal SG 2sample, and with the sample frequency of 10 image frames per second to computer terminal port P 3the 3rd signal of video signal SG 3sample.
Then, Image processing channel CH 2digital signal processing module 302 can first those static image frames above-mentioned are divided into multiple block after, again the corresponding block of front and back two static image frame is compared, to encode after the different blocks finding out front and back two static image frame, and the coded data of those different blocks is sent to central processing unit 12.This cataloged procedure may produce and damage or the effect of Lossless Compression.In fact, digital signal processing module 302 can include digital signal processor (DigitalSignalProcessor, DSP) to encode to produce coded data to the different blocks of front and back two static image frame, but not as limit.The coded system that digital signal processing module 302 adopts can comprise JPEG, wavelet conversion (WaveletTransform) or other any suitable coded systems.
