Patent ID: 8384724

Claim:
A coordinating apparatus for coordinating data transmission between a data providing device and a display device, the display device conforming to a transmission standard, the transmission standard comprising at least a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode different from the first transmission mode, the coordinating apparatus comprising: a programmable coordinating module, programmed according to the transmission standard, for receiving M bits of image data from the data providing device, extracting N bits of image data among the M bits of image data, and arranging the N bits of image data into N bits of arranged data, wherein M is a positive integer and N is a positive integer smaller than or equal to M, in the first transmission mode, the coordinating module is programmed to output N/L 1 bits of arranged data within each of L 1 transmission durations; in the second transmission mode, the coordinating module is programmed to output N/L 2 bits of arranged data within each of L 2 transmission durations, L 1 , L 2 , N/L 1 and N/L 2 are positive integers and L 1 ≠L 2 ; and an outputting module, electrically coupled to the programmable coordinating module, for outputting the N bits of arranged data to the display device.
