In order to avoid the above situation occurs, in an embodiment, image switching system 2 can be by controlling switch 20 to coming It is zoomed in and out from different audio-visual or image source S1~S4 the input images with different resolutions and exports and parsed with fixed The image output of degree gives those audio-visual or image output device D1~D4, to avoid audio-visual or image source S1~S4 and audio-visual or shadow The problem of as needing to reinitialize due to switching between output device D1~D4, therefore can shorten due to audio-visual or image source S1 ~S4, which switches over caused audio-visual or image output device D1~D4, can not go out the time of picture.It should be noted that switch 20 Image output used by fix resolution size and can have no certain limitation depending on actual demand.
In the method for the time that above-mentioned shortening is audio-visual or image output device D1~D4 can not go out picture, it is necessary to which solution is When audio-visual or image source S1~S4 is switched over, how the different resolutions that the audio-visual or image source S1~S4 of difference is provided Image is efficiently scaled to the image output with fixed resolution to audio-visual or image output device D1~D4.
Fig. 4 is please referred to, Fig. 4 is painted the inside structure schematic diagram of the switch 20 in image switching system 2.In this embodiment In, switch 20 includes at least image receiving module 200, Zoom module 201, memory module 202, image time-sequence control module 203 and image handover module 204.Wherein, image handover module 204 is coupled to audio-visual or shadow by first interface I0~I3 respectively Image source S1~S4;Image handover module 204 is coupled to image receiving module 200;Image time-sequence control module 203 connects by second Mouth I4 is coupled to audio-visual or image output device D1~D4;Image receiving module 200 selectively couples Zoom module 201 and deposits Store up module 202;Zoom module 201 selectively couples memory module 202 and image time-sequence control module 203;Memory module 202 Selectively couple Zoom module 201 and image time-sequence control module 203.Though it is noted that Fig. 4 only show to each Two interface I4, but for other second interface I5~I7 such as Fig. 2, equally there is Zoom module 201, memory module 202 And the framework of image time-sequence control module 203, slightly show herein.Also that is, image receiving module 200 has been respectively coupled to four components Do not correspond to Zoom module 201, memory module 202 and the image time-sequence control module 203 of second interface I4~I7, hereinafter, only with Zoom module 201, memory module 202 and the image time-sequence control modules 203 of second interface I4 corresponding thereto switches over Explanation.
In this embodiment, image handover module 204 according to a switching signal SW determining those audio-visual or image sources Some or multiple audio-visual or image source the input image of S1~S4 can be transmitted to image receiving module 200.Image sequential control Image output is sent to the output device D4 coupled with second contact surface I4 by molding block 203 to control.
Please referring to that Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 be painted respectively will be with the input compared with low-res by the operation of switch Image zoom is image output with a certain fixed resolution and the input image with higher resolution is reduced into tool There is the schematic diagram of the image output of a certain fixed resolution.Assuming that the default fixed resolution of switch 20 in the present embodiment For 1280x720, the resolution that can be shown for those audio-visual or image output device D1~D4.
As shown in fig. 5, it is assumed that input image of first audio-visual or the provided resolutions of image source S1 for 800x600 V1, since the resolution 800x600 of input image V1 is less than the default fixed resolution 1280x720 of switch 20, representative is cut Parallel operation 20 can will be first with fixed resolution with the input image V1 amplifications (upscale) compared with low-res 800x600 After the image output V2 of 1280x720, then image output V2 is sent to specific audio-visual or image output device D1.It is above-mentioned to put The flow of big program is:The input image V1 that resolution is 800x600 is stored in memory module 202 by image receiving module 200 It is interior, it is then resent to Zoom module 201 and is amplified processing, the image output V2 after enhanced processing has 1280x720's Resolution.Then, the image output V2 with fixed resolution 1280x720 is sent to image timing control by Zoom module 201 Module 203, then exported the image output V2 with fixed resolution 1280x720 to audio-visual by image time-sequence control module 203 Or image output device D1 is played out.
As shown in Figure 6, it is assumed that the input image that first is audio-visual or the provided resolutions of image source S1 are 1920x1080 V3 is represented since the resolution 1920x1080 of input image V3 is more than the default fixed resolution 1280x720 of switch 20 It is with fixed solution that input image V3 with higher resolution 1920x1080 first can be reduced (downscale) by switch 20 After the image output V4 of analysis degree 1280x720, then image output V4 is sent to specific audio-visual or image output device D1.On State reduce program flow be:The input image V3 that resolution is 1920x1080 is sent to scaling mould by image receiving module 200 Block 201 reduce processing as the image output V4 with fixed resolution 1280x720, is then stored in storage mould again In block 202.And then the image output V4 with fixed resolution 1280x720 is exported by image time-sequence control module 203 It is played out to audio-visual or image output device D1.
In zooming in or out in processing routine for above-mentioned Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, since what memory module 202 was stored has The input image V1 of 800x600 resolutions and image output V4 with 1280x720 resolutions is resolution and data volume phase To smaller image, therefore the memory space of memory module 202 can be saved.For example, the enhanced processing journey depicted in Fig. 5 In sequence, there is the input image V1 compared with low-res 800x600 to be first stored in memory module 202, be then amplified place again Reason;Conversely, in diminution processing routine depicted in Fig. 6, the input image V3 with higher resolution 1920x1080 is first passed through Zoom module 201 carry out reduce be processed into the image output V4 with 1280x720 resolutions after, then will have compared with low-res The image output V4 of 1280x720 is stored in memory module 202, therefore the data stored in the image output V4 that can ensure that are equal It is resolution and the image of data volume minimum.
In this embodiment, the Zoom module 201 that switch 20 is amplified and reduces needed for processing only needs one, can Change the direction for receiving data according to the demand for zooming in or out processing, therefore is not required to that other Zoom modules are additionally arranged, with Installation space and the quantity of Zoom module and memory module are saved, and then reduces cost.For example, in the journey of enhanced processing In sequence, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the path of video signal transmission is:Image receiving module 200=>Memory module 202=>Scaling Module 201=>Image time-sequence control module 203, the video signal to be amplified are first stored in memory module 202, then again by Zoom module 201 is amplified processing;In the program for reducing processing, as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, the path of video signal transmission It is:Image receiving module 200=>Zoom module 201=>Memory module 202=>Image time-sequence control module 203, to be reduced After video signal is first reduced by Zoom module 201, then the video signal after diminution is stored in memory module 202.Therefore, though Right switch 20 only includes single a Zoom module 201, but can carry out zooming in or out processing to image by switching mode.
Next, why the display device inquired into traditional image switching system will appear miscellaneous as shown in Fig. 1 C Interrogate picture (dirty frame).Fig. 4 to fig. 6 is please referred to, to illustrate the reason of above-mentioned noise picture occur.It should be noted that Although audio-visual or image output device D1 in the present embodiment with the resolution of 1280x720 show image, do not represent it is audio-visual or Image output device the D1 only display capabilities with the resolution, user can still be adjusted to required parsing according to actual demand Degree.
Assuming that being by first is audio-visual or image source S1 provides the input with the first resolution 800x600 that need to amplify originally Image V1 is played out to output after the processing of switch 20 to audio-visual or image output device D1, when user by first it is audio-visual or When image source S1 switches to that second is audio-visual or image source S2, second it is audio-visual or image source S2 is provided need to reduce have the The input image V3 of two resolutions, 1920 x1080, herein one switching moment, since previous time point is to belong to image zoom Processing routine, therefore the image stored in memory module 202 is that first is audio-visual or image source S1 is directly provided with first The input image V1 of resolution 800x600;And first time point after handover, since Zoom module 201 receives video signal Source can switch to image receiving module 200 from memory module 202 diminution processing is carried out with profit, and at the same time between, when image The source that sequence control module 203 obtains video signal can be also switched to from Zoom module 201 from memory module 202, with from depositing Storage module 202 obtains video signal to be output to audio-visual or image output device D1, the image stored by memory module 202 It is the input image V1 with the first resolution 800x600 that first is audio-visual or image source S1 is directly provided, therefore, when image Sequence control module 203 is the input image V1 with the first resolution 800x600 rather than has acquired by the memory module 202 There is the image output V4 of fixed resolution 1280x720, thus image time-sequence control module 203 is caused to be sent to audio-visual or image The image output of output device D1 does not have the image output V4 of fixed resolution 1280x720 instead of, has compared with low-res The input image V1 of 800x600 causes audio-visual or image output device D1 to be played according to preset fixed resolution 1280x720 When, display picture will appear the noise picture as shown in Fig. 1 C.
To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention further provides a kind of image switching methods.As shown in fig. 7, in step S10 In, this method chooses first image with the first resolution (being 800x600 in this example).In fact, the first image is optional From the with HDMI interface first audio-visual or image source S1, but not limited to this.
Then, in step S12, the first image of this method pair carries out the first scaling processing to form shadow after the first processing Picture, and by image output after the first processing to the first audio-visual or image output device D1.In fact, the first scaling processing can be The first image zoom with the first resolution 800x600 to preset fixed resolution (is 1280x720 in this example, is The first audio-visual or supported resolutions of image output device D1).As shown in figure 5, from first audio-visual or image source S1 One image is after enhanced processing is the first processing with resolution 1280x720 after image, by the first audio-visual or image output Device D1 is played.
Then, in step S14 and step S16, this method receives a switching signal, is touched using the switching signal as one Hair mechanism, that is, it is audio-visual or image source S1 switches to the second shadow according to image after the first processing of switching signal storage and by first Sound or image source S2.That is, be input to switch image can from first is audio-visual originally or image source S1 provided it is defeated Enter image V1 and becomes the input image V3 that second is audio-visual or image source S2 is provided.In fact, switching signal can be by wireless Or wired transmission or user directly press switch and correspond to produced by specific audio-visual or image source button so that switching Device is audio-visual or image source S1 switches to the second audio-visual or image source S2 by original first.In this example, the second audio-visual or image The input image V3 that source S2 is provided has the second resolution 1920x1080.
Next, the implementation procedure of step S16 is described in detail.It please refers to shown in Fig. 8 A, in step s 16, works as switch 20 receive when switching audio-visual or image source switching signal, and switch 20 can first will be just sent to by Zoom module 201 at present The image output V2 of image time-sequence control module 203, which is synchronized, to be stored in memory module 202.When switch 20 completes audio-visual or shadow After the switching of image source, the image source that image receiving module 200 is received can be from the first audio-visual or shadow depicted in script Fig. 8 A Image source S1 becomes the second audio-visual or image source S2 depicted in Fig. 8 B.
Return Fig. 7, in step S18, this method to come from second audio-visual or image source S2 the second image V3 into The second scaling processing of row, to generate image after the second processing with fixed resolution.As shown in Figure 8 B, due to input image V3 Resolution 1920x1080 be more than the preset fixed resolution 1280x720 of switch 20, therefore in the input of Zoom module 201 End, which can be switched to, to be coupled with image receiving module 200 and receives input image V3, and input image V3 is dwindled into solid Determine the image output V4 of resolution 1280x720.
As shown in fig. 7, in the process for reducing processing, this method can carry out step S20~S24.In step S20, Switch can continue judge that input image V3 dwindles into the action of image output V4 and whether completes.It is also contracting if it is not, representing image Not yet completed in small, then this method carry out step S24, by the image output V2 that step S16 is stored export to first it is audio-visual or Image output device D1, for the first audio-visual or image output device D1 broadcasting image outputs V2;It has been reduced if so, representing image It completes, then this method carries out step S22, and the image output V4 for having reduced completion is exported to the first audio-visual or image output device D1, for the first audio-visual or image output device D1 broadcasting image outputs V4.Due to not yet that image V3 scaling processings is complete Cheng Qian is first exported with the image V2 originally to prestore and is given output device D1, thereby, this method can effectively overcome in the prior art when The problem of display device can play out noise picture when the action that input image V3 dwindles into image output V4 is not yet completed.
Next, above-mentioned steps S20~S24 will be described in detail with Fig. 8 B and Fig. 8 C.As shown in Figure 8 B, shadow will inputted Before dwindling into the image output V4 with fixed resolution as V3, the institute out of memory module 202 of image time-sequence control module 203 The image information of acquirement is all to store to meet the image output of first audio-visual or image output device D1 resolution in Fig. 8 A V2 ', and output this to display device D1.Until as shown in Figure 8 C, Zoom module 201 is by the second audio-visual or image source S2 institutes There is provided the input image V3 with the second resolution 1920x1080 dwindle into can first is audio-visual or image output device D1 on it is complete After the image output V4 of whole broadcasting, image time-sequence control module 203 can just be obtained corresponding to the first audio-visual or image output device The image output V4 of the resolution 1280x720 of D1.Pass through image processing mode shown in Fig. 8 A to Fig. 8 C, you can effectively solve The problem of display device shows noise picture caused by switching in the prior art audio-visual or image source.
Fig. 9 is please referred to, Fig. 9 is painted the flow chart of another embodiment of the image switching method of the present invention.As shown in figure 9, Substantially, step S10~S18 in this embodiment is similar to the flow chart of Fig. 7, the two the difference is that:This embodiment is Image at least exports once to display device after fixed the first processing by after storage, later again by the second image via the second contracting It puts processing and is formed by after second processing image output to display device.Such as:In step S26, coordinate shown in Fig. 8 B, image Time-sequence control module 203 can first read the image output V2 ' that is stored of memory module 202 and be sent to that first is audio-visual or image is defeated Go out device D1.Then, Fig. 9 is returned, in step S28, switch can judge that the output storage of image time-sequence control module 203 is defeated Go out whether image V2 ' has reached a specific output number to first audio-visual or image output device D1 number.If it is not, representing also Specific output number is not reached, this method can repeat step S26 until reaching specific output number.If so, representing Have reached specific output number, it is however generally that, after exporting specific times, the journey of the second scaling processing is also completed in the second image Sequence and form image after second processing.At this point, in step S30, as shown in Fig. 8 C figures, image time-sequence control module 203 can be by Memory module 202 reads image output V4 and simultaneously outputs this to the first audio-visual or image output device D1, for first it is audio-visual or Image output device D1 is played.
It should be noted that although in preceding description, as shown in Fig. 7 or Fig. 9, switching when image processing flow with from The image source of enhanced processing is needed to switch to the image source that need to reduce processing.But in not being limited with this situation in practical application.Also That is, when switch switches over different images source, switch 20 all can be when time point before switching leading prestored presentation The image output that sequence control module 203 is exported, and it is latter until new image can normally be broadcast in the completion switching of switch 20 Before putting, switch 20 all first exports the image output to prestore to display device.Until new image processing is completed, switching Device 20 is again by new image output to display device.Thereby, it so can avoid completing to switch in switch in the prior art latter During until new image can be by normal play, display device show noise image the problem of.It is so-called normally to broadcast Put, in one embodiment, the image needs newly to switch zoom in and out processing, therefore before scaling processing completion, all elder generation with Pre-stored image exports, and after the completion of scaling processing, then exports the new image after scaling processing.
For example, in one embodiment, the first scaling processing in Fig. 7 can be the processing of diminution image analytic degree, and the Two scaling processings can be the processing of magnified image resolution.In this embodiment, according to Fig. 4 and scaling processing shown in fig. 5 Process it can be seen that, when the first scaling processing be reduce image analytic degree when, Zoom module 201 can directly receive come self imaging receive The input image of module 200, and be stored in memory module 202 after being reduced, then, image time-sequence control module 203 is again Input image after diminution that memory module 202 is stored is exported to display device D1.At this point, when switch 20 receives switching Signal SW and when switching to the image source for needing enhanced processing, carries out though Zoom module 201 can read image out of memory module 202 Enhanced processing is exported again to image time-sequence control module 203 to export to display device D1, but enhanced processing program still needs to one section Time carries out, and therefore, this method utilizes the step S16 of Fig. 7, originally directly from memory module 202 when will receive switching signal It exports to the diminution image output of image time-sequence control module 203 and prestores, then carry out the second scaling in Zoom module 201 During handling (magnified image processing), image time-sequence control module 203 first exports the diminution image output of storage to display Device D1 occurs to avoid display device D1 during Zoom module 201 carries out the second scaling processing (magnified image processing) The problem of showing noise picture.
Then, Figure 10 is please referred to, Figure 10 is painted another embodiment of the switch in the image switching system of the present invention.It removes It is aforementioned to be restored outside the mode of processing according to switching signal to determine whether carrying out image, it can also pass through image receiving module 200 Whether stable image is received, to determine whether the action restored.It is cut since image receiving module 200 is used for receiving image The input image that mold changing block 204 is sent, therefore, when image handover module 204 receives switching signal SW, such as from When audio-visual or image source S1 switches to audio-visual or image source S2, the input image that image receiving module 200 is received has shakiness Determine picture NS.Therefore, in the present embodiment, whether image receiving module 200 can be by judging its received input image With unstable picture NS, come as whether existing image output being restored to trigger mechanism in memory module 202.
For example, when image handover module 204 receives switching signal SW not yet, image receiving module 200 is all The stabilization input image exported from audio-visual or image source S1 is received, when image handover module 204 receives switching signal SW And when audio-visual or image source S1 is switched to audio-visual or image source S2, as long as image receiving module 200 is not yet received from audio-visual Or before the stabilization input image of image source S2, image receiving module 200 will judge that the input image received by it has There is unstable picture NS (such as because resolution changes or caused by the change of synchronizing signal, but not limited to this), at this point, shadow As receiving module 200 can send out a restoring signal to image time-sequence control module 203.Image time-sequence control module 203 i.e. can root Image output stable at present is restored into memory module 202 according to signal is restored.In addition, the meeting of image time-sequence control module 203 exists Not yet completely memory module is completely written in the stable image exported from audio-visual or image source S2 by image receiving module 200 Before 202, constantly reads after existing the first processing restored in memory module 202 image and export to display device, with Avoid the problem that noise picture exports.
When the judgement of image receiving module 200 has been received from audio-visual or image source S2 stabilization input image, then may be used Successfully input image is written to memory module 202.It is completely written extremely when memory module 202 is determined with new input image When memory module 202, memory module 202 is notified that image time-sequence control module 203 captures new input image and exports to aobvious Showing device D1.It should be noted that next might have following two kinds of situations:
The case where the first is reduces image processing.Come at this point, 201 self imaging receiving module 200 of Zoom module receives It is to store to memory module after image after second processing to reduce processing from audio-visual or image source S2 stabilization input image and carrying out 202.When storing successfully, memory module 202 is notified that image time-sequence control module 203 to read the second processing newly stored It image and directly exports afterwards, to complete seamless and image source changeover program without noise.
Second is the case where magnified image is handled.In the case, memory module 202 is received from audio-visual or image The stabilization input image of source S2, when storing successfully, memory module 202 is notified that image time-sequence control module 203 to read The input image that newly stores simultaneously directly exports.Due to for enhanced processing, image time-sequence control module 203 can pass through scaling Module 201 read memory module 202 in store new input image, and via Zoom module 201 amplify after, by image sequential Control module 203 is exported to display device D1, to complete seamless and image source changeover program without noise.
Compared to the prior art, image switching system according to the present invention, image switching device and image switching method are logical A trigger mechanism (such as the judgement of switching signal or judgement of unstable picture) is crossed to determine to restore the opportunity of normal table image, And during normal steady state has not yet been reached in the new image that the audio-visual or image source being switched is provided, provide restoring Normal table image is shown to display device, until determining that the new image that the audio-visual or image source being switched is provided has reached When normal steady state, then new image is provided to display device to show, therefore the image switching system of the present invention, image switching dress It sets and image switching method can effectively avoid traditional display device from showing asking for noise picture during moment switching Topic, to realize seamless and cut effect soon without what noise picture exported.
Pass through the above detailed description of preferred embodiments, it would be desirable to the feature and spirit of the present invention are more clearly described, and Not scope of the invention is limited with above-mentioned disclosed preferred embodiment.On the contrary, the purpose is to wish Various changes can be covered and have being arranged in the scope of the claim to be applied of the invention of equality.
