Abstract
Description
非同期で入力された複数の映像信号を、1つの画面に表示される映像信号に合成する装置であって、
前記複数の映像信号のうちのいずれかの映像信号について、入力フレームの入力が完了していない場合、
入力が完了していないデータに代えて、当該映像信号の過去の入力フレームのデータを用い、
前記1つの画面に表示される映像信号を合成する。
本開示では、一例として、4つの映像信号V1~V4が映像合成装置10に入力され、映像合成装置10が1つの画面20に表示される映像信号に合成して出力する例を示す。映像合成装置10は、入力1からの映像信号VA、及び入力2からの映像信号VBは、画面20の上部へ、入力3からの映像信号VC及び入力4からの映像信号VDは画面20の下部へ出力する。
102は、クロスバスイッチであり、101からの入力順序の検出結果順に並べ替え出力する機能である。
103は画素数を任意の大きさに拡大縮小を行う、アップダウンコンバータである。
102と103は入力(a,b,c,d,…)に対して逆に接続しても構わない。すなわち入力a,b,c,dから103で拡大縮小を行い、その後102、入力順に並べ替え出力しても構わない。
104は、バッファである。103または102の入力をバッファリングして、任意の順序で出力することができる。
105は、画素合成部である。出力の全体画面のうち、出力する順に104から画素データを読み出し、合成して出力する。この合成は、前記による。105は、任意のコントロール信号を画面のブランキング部に付加しても構わない。
以上説明したように、本開示は、複数の非同期の映像を入力し、それらの画像を合成するシステムであって、出力は入力フレームレートより高速なレートで画面を合成し出力する。ここで、出力合成は1画面分の入力完了を待たず、入力済みデータを可能な限り早く出力し、入力データの不足分は、過去のフレームデータで補完する。これにより、本開示は、非同期の映像入力信号に対して、合成後の出力までの遅延時間を短縮することができる。そのため、複数拠点等の複数画面を合成するシステムで低遅延要求が厳しく且つ特に特定の入力に対する低遅延要求がより厳しい協調作業が可能となる。
