Abstract:
Presented is a video distribution system that includes a transmitter that receives an uncompressed source video signal and includes a compressor for compressing the uncompressed source video signal into a compressed video signal having a bandwidth lower than the bandwidth of the uncompressed source video signal, a reformatter configured for reformatting the compressed video signal to simulate an uncompressed video signal having a bandwidth lower than the bandwidth of the uncompressed video signal. The video distribution system also includes a receiver that receives the compressed video signal that simulates an uncompressed video signal and includes a decompressor configured for decompressing the compressed video signal that simulates an uncompressed video signal into a decompressed video signal, and output port configured for transmitting the decompressed video signal to a display.
Abstract:
Presented is a control system for augmenting a portable touch screen device having integral processing capability. The control system includes an enclosure configured for encasing the portable touch screen device, an internal docking connector configured for communicatively mating with the portable touch screen device, and hard buttons. At least one of the hard buttons is functionally configured for use with an application program running on the portable touch screen device. The control system includes further includes a processor configured for converting button actuations into a digital format, and a first facility for communicating the digital format to the portable touch screen device via the internal docking connector. The application program is configured such that, during operation, the application program communicates the status of the one hard button to at least one external device.
