    摘要: A driver assistance system includes a first camera, a second camera, a first serial interface circuit, a second serial interface circuit, and a hub interface circuit. The first serial interface circuit is coupled to the first camera. The second serial interface circuit is coupled to the second camera. The hub interface circuit is coupled to the first serial interface circuit and the second serial interface circuit. The hub interface circuit is configured to receive transmissions from the first serial interface circuit and the second serial interface circuit, and to transmit control information to the first serial interface circuit and the second serial interface circuit. The hub interface is also configured to encode a clock signal in the control information.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for determining a power state of a device. Identification data may be received, e.g., in a media device hub, from one or more devices coupled to the device hub. In some example implementations, the devices coupled to the device hub may comprise an intermediate device coupled to the hub via a first multimedia cable and a sink media device coupled to the intermediate device via a second multimedia cable. Attributes may be identified in the received identification data, such as attributes relating to one or more of the coupled devices. The attributes may be associated with one or more of the devices that are coupled to the device hub. Based on an association of attributes, a power state of one or more of the devices coupled to the hub may be determined.

    摘要: A method for assembling a camera suitable for use for a vision system of a vehicle includes providing a circuit board having first and second sides separated by a thickness dimension of the circuit board. An imager is disposed at the first side of the circuit board and solder pads are disposed at the second side of the circuit board. The solder pads are in electrical connection with circuitry of the circuit board. A coaxial connector is aligned at the solder pads at the second side of the circuit board. The coaxial connector is soldered at the second side of the circuit board via the solder pads. The solder pads may include a plurality of outer solder pads and at least one inner solder pad for connecting to respective contact portions of the coaxial connector.

    摘要: An electronic device and method for media content to be replaced other media content is disclosed. The method includes receiving first media content comprising a set of media content segments. The method includes receiving second media content comprising a first media content segment. The method includes receiving scheduling information identifying a second media content segment of the set of media content segments to be replaced with the first media content segment. The method includes determining that the first content feed is transmitted according to a first broadcast timing and that the second content feed is transmitted according to a second broadcast timing. The method includes syncing the first broadcast timing with the second broadcast timing. The method includes replacing the second media content segment with the first media content segment when the first content feed and the second content feed are synced.

    摘要: A vehicular multi-camera vision system includes a plurality of cameras and an electronic control unit (ECU). The cameras are disposed at a vehicle and have respective fields of view exterior of the vehicle. The cameras are operable to capture image data. The cameras are connected with the ECU via respective coaxial cables. Each respective coaxial cable (i) carries captured image data from the respective camera to the ECU, (ii) carries camera control data from the ECU to the respective camera and (iii) connects a DC power supply of the ECU to the respective camera. The camera control data is carried by the respective coaxial cable from the ECU to the respective camera at a control data carrier frequency that is lower than an image data carrier frequency at which image data captured by the respective camera is carried by the respective coaxial cable from the respective camera to the ECU.
