Abstract:
1. A method of streaming 10 bit pixel data through transmission equipment designed for transmitting 8 bit data, comprising: providing a first data frame having a plurality of 10 bit packets of pixel data arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns; deleting a portion of said plurality of 10 bit packets to produce a plurality of remaining 10 bit packets; removing 2 bits from each of said remaining 10 bit packets to produce first 8 bit packets and 2 bit packets; grouping sets of four packets of said 2 bit packets into second 8 bit packets; grouping said first 8 bit packets into a contiguous first region of 8 bit image data; grouping said second 8 bit packets into a contiguous second region of 8 bit image data; providing additional information, user data, and checksum data; combining the contiguous first region of 8 bit image data, the contiguous second region of 8 bit image data, the additional information, the user data, and the checksum data to produce a second data frame having the same number of rows and columns as the first data frame; transmitting said second data frame through said transmission equipment; and reconstructing said plurality of remaining 10 bit packets from said contiguous first region of 8 bit image data and said contiguous second region of 8 bit image data of said transmitted second data frame.
