Title: Partitioning Image Data into Coding, Prediction and Transform Units in 4:2:2 HEVC Video Data Encoding and Decoding
Inventor: GAMEI JAMES ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2012-06-22
Abstract: A 4:2:2 format video image signal is encoded by partitioning an image into coding, prediction and transform units. A coding unit (CU) (1100, 1110) is a square array of luminance samples and corresponding chrominance samples. There is one or more prediction units (PU) in a CU, and also there is one or more transform units (TU) in a CU. A PU is an elementary unit of prediction so that all samples within a single PU are predicted using a common prediction technique. A TU is a basic unit of transformation and quantisation. Non-square transforms (e.g. NSQT) are enabled so as to allow non-square (e.g. rectangular) PUs (1140). TU block sizes are selected (1150) to align with the PU block layout. Asymmetric motion partitioning may be enabled to allow asymmetry between two or more PUs corresponding to a single CU. TU block sizes may be selected by detecting image features in the image portion corresponding to a PU, and selecting TU block sizes in respect of that PU to align TU boundaries with image feature edges. TU block sizes may also be selected according to a tree hierarchy of divisions defined with respect to the size of the respective PU.

Title: Communication interface of a device and method for configuring thereof
Inventor: CLOSSET ARNAUD
IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 2014-02-11
Abstract: Communication interface for enabling a dual mode transmission between source and sink devices over a standard unidirectional data link. It comprises a plurality of unidirectional transceivers 315-318 for driving data over lanes 312 in one direction and additional transceivers 507-508 for driving data in the opposite direction, where communication link module 502 manages bi-directional protocol. Bidirectional transceiver 319 drives signal over AUX lane 313, while a Hot Plug (HPD) lane 314 is connected to supervisor 501 for configuration of the interface. AUX lane implements part of a discovery protocol related to the unidirectional protocol. The HPD lane is used for unidirectional and bidirectional discovery protocols set-up via signal patterns (e.g. low and high transitions) over lane 314. Signal patterns for bi-directional discovery protocols have durations less than the shortest duration of patterns in unidirectional protocols. This way bi-directional discovery protocols are transparent to devices operating according to unidirectional protocols.
