Title: Communication protocol for controlling transfer of temporal data over a bus between devices in synchronization with a periodic reference signal
Inventor: WALLACE RON
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: A communication protocol over the serial bus allows a peripheral device to control the flow of data between a host computer and the peripheral device so as to maintain synchronization to a periodic reference signal. The protocol involves transferring flow control messages between the peripheral device and the host computer, allowing the peripheral device to control how and when the host computer sends the uncompressed audio and video data. The audio and video data may be sent as separate streams. Using the IEEE-1394 protocol, the flow control messages are sent using an asynchronous protocol. whereas uncompressed video and audio data are sent using an isochronous protocol. Streams of uncompressed video and audio data are transferred from the host computer over a serial bus to the peripheral device, where the peripheral device performs operations on the data such as encoding the data into a standard format, such as DV and MPEG. or generating an analog video signal. Decoding of standard format data is avoided, allowing an analog video signal to be generated with less processing. Further. resources on the host computer are not used for encoding video data, thus allowing those resources to be used for more creative operations on the video and audio data. The peripheral device also may output standard format data using a standard protocol over a standard bus. For example. the peripheral device may generate DV format data from the uncompressed audio and video data, and output the DV  format data using a standard DV transport protocol over an IEEE-1394 compliant serial bus.  The peripheral device also can be used to synchronize another device. such as a transcoder, that is connected to the peripheral device via a serial bus. such as an IEEE-compliant bus. to a periodic reference signal received by the peripheral device. For example. the peripheral device may perform DV encoding of the uncompressed audio and video data received from the host computer. The peripheral device then transfers this DV format data over the serial bus using a standard protocol to the other device. The operation of this other device may be genlocked to the same periodic reference signal provided to the peripheral device. thus synchronizing the peripheral device and the other device.
