A master station including at least a token packet (Iso) management table in which the overall band of the bus is partitioned into certain bands, rewrites the token packet (Iso) management table according to the bandwidth required in Isochronous data transmission between stations to at least control transmission of token packets (Iso) and dynamically control the bandwidth.

In a network of a topology of a loop and a bus, occurrence of a failure is detected and a location of the failure is specified. Occurrence of the failure is detected by detecting that a specific signal pattern to be received at regular time intervals within a fixed time period is not received. A node which has detected occurrence of the failure transmits or receives a specifying signal among the nodes, and decide whether or not the failure has occurred adjacently to itself. A packet indicating a decided location of the failure is transmitted or received among nodes, and thereby respective nodes specify the location of the failure. When the failure has occurred at the master node, a node having a smallest node ID after waiting time according to the node ID operates as the alternative master node.

A data transmission system including first and second source devices for transmitting video data (isochronous data) outputted from first and second data output units, and a sink device for receiving the video data transmitted from the source devices and outputting the data to a video composition device, in which the video data supplied from the data output units to the source device are synchronized in frame units and transmitted from the source devices to one sink device. In the data transmission system, synchronous information (reference signal information) in the video composition device is transmitted from the sink device to the source devices, and timing reference signals in the data output units are generated by the source devices based on the synchronous information.

A master station 11 produces a token packet for isochronous data in which a slave station 12 and slave stations 13 and 14 serving as a sending station and receiving stations are designated using IDs for isochronous data “#2” and “#3” in accordance with contents described in a table 161 held in its inner part so as to manage a transmission bandwidth using a token packet sending/analysis executing device 16, and sends out the produced token packet to a transition path 15 on the downstream side. The slave station 12 sends out an isochronous data packet 42 using the token packet for isochronous data 41. According to the token packet for isochronous data 41, the slave stations 13 and 14 are designated as receiving stations using the ID for isochronous data “#3”, so that the slave stations 13 and 14 perform the above-mentioned operations, to receive the isochronous data packet 42. The sending station can thus transmit the same isochronous data to a plurality of receiving stations belonging to a broadcast group, so that it is possible to establish multicast communication (communication to a plurality of nodes).
摘要:
A network system comprises a main loop in which one master node which issues a token packet for data communication, and at least one slave node are connected in a loop; a first sub loop in which the master node, one sub-master node, and at least one slave node are connected in a loop; and at least one second sub loop in which the master node, at least two sub-master nodes including the sub-master node of the first sub loop, and at least one slave node are connected in a loop. In this network system, each node has an analysis execution unit which performs analysis of the token packet, control of data transmission and data reception, and a switch for changing the connection. When each node receives and analyzes the token packet, it controls the switch so as to output, transmit, or discard the token packet and a data packet. Therefore, addition of nodes and loops is facilitated while maintaining the transmission efficiency, without increasing the packet transmission time.
摘要:
A first initialization pattern signal is a signal in which a maximum signal level and a minimum signal level appear alternately, and a second initialization pattern signal is a signal in which all signal levels appear in a predetermined arrangement. In a ring-shaped network including plural stages of data transmission apparatuses (100), a transmission unit (110) of each data transmission apparatus outputs the first initialization pattern signal successively to a next-stage data transmission apparatus at turn-on of power or immediately after reset, and a reception unit (120) establishes clock synchronization on the basis of the first initialization pattern signal received. When synchronization is established in all of the data transmission apparatuses, the transmission unit (110) outputs the second initialization pattern signal successively to the next-stage data transmission apparatus, and the reception unit (120) sets evaluation levels for the respective signal levels on the basis of the received second initialization pattern signal, and transmission/reception of data is started when evaluation levels are set in all of the data transmission apparatuses.

An evaluation level setting method and a data reception apparatus in which the method is implemented accurately evaluate signal levels in multi-valued transmission for transmitting data while assigning one or more bits of data as one data symbol to a signal level.A data transmission apparatus outputs an initialization pattern signal at turn-on of power or after reset, and the data reception apparatus establishes clock synchronization on the basis of the received initialization pattern signal and starts data reception after setting of evaluation levels to be used for threshold evaluation of signal levels.

A control device determines whether an image generated by merging several concurrently picked-up images has consistent image quality on a display device. If determined No, image quality parameters set in each image pickup device are so controlled as to make the image quality of the merged image consistent. Therefore, the merged image can assuredly have consistent image quality. Further, a signal processing device detects, based on positions of nodes and attributes of cameras, a connection indicating which node is connected to which camera and with what attribute. The signal processing device in advance stores every detectable connection and a plurality of image processing programs corresponding to each connection, and selects and carries out one of the image processing programs corresponding to the detected connection.
摘要:
Initialization processes of link layers in a data transmission system are started after initialization processes of respective physical layers are completed. Thus, at the time of initialization of the link layers, the respective physical layers can perform communication with each other. As a result, in the data transmission system in which electrical communication is performed, an initialization program (an API which is supplied assuming that physical layers requiring no initialization process are used) designed assuming that physical layers are in a state where they can perform communication during an initialization period of link layers can be used while satisfying the above assumption.

If a master data transmission apparatus is included in an optical data transmission system, a clock recovered by a first clock recovery unit 91 based on an optical signal received from the optical data transmission system is selected by a clock selecting unit 93. If the master data transmission apparatus is included in an electrical data transmission system, a clock recovered by a second clock recovery unit 92 based on a lock signal received from the electrical data transmission system is selected by the clock selecting unit 93. A mapping unit 74, a digital filter 75, and a D/A converting unit 76 perform processing in accordance with the clock selected by the clock selecting unit 93.
