Patent ID: 8902993

Claim:
A signal transmission apparatus comprising: a multiplex unit generating B/Rch by multiplexing image signals read from B, R pixels arranged in the same sample alternately on active regions corresponding to Cch in High Definition Serial Digital Interface (HD-SDI) with a start code similar to Start Active Video (SAV) or End Active Video (EAV), in which image signals sequentially read in a line direction and inputted with a given number of samples from an imaging device having an RGB full pixel structure in which R, G and B pixels disposed in one sample respectively output R, G and B image signals, as well as generating Gch by sequentially multiplexing image signals read from samples of G pixels adjacent in the line direction on active regions corresponding to Ych in HD-SDI with the start code; and an 8B/10B encoder outputting serial digital data obtained by 8B/10B encoding and converting active regions in the B/R ch and the Gch having the data structure corresponding to HD-SDI as well as auxiliary data regions including SAV, EAV, Line Number (LN) and error detection code (CRCC).
