Patent ID: 7987488

Claim:
A system for transmitting and receiving image and audio data comprising: a transmission apparatus that transmits the image and audio data using a multi-channel communication protocol, said transmission apparatus including a first protocol conversion device configured to produce parallel image and audio data for transmission to the reception apparatus using the multi-channel communication protocol, a storing device configured to store the image and audio data, a first data path between the storing device and the first protocol conversion device, a second data path between the storing device and the first protocol conversion device, a full duplexer configured to count a rate of data being stored to the storing device from the first data path to produce a storing device input rate, to count a rate of data being output to the first data path from the storing device to produce a storing device output rate, and to control a transfer of data between the storing device and the first and second data paths in accordance with a control signal, and a control device configured to generate the control signal based on the storing device input rate and the storing device output rate; and a reception apparatus that receives the parallel image and audio data transmitted using the multi-channel communication protocol, said reception apparatus including a second protocol conversion device configured to perform data conversion processing on the received parallel image and audio data and to output the converted image and audio data for display by a display device.
