Patent ID: 8780932

Claim:
A video signal reception device for receiving a serial packet signal , the video signal reception device comprising: a deserializer which regenerates a plurality of encoded packet signals by serial-parallel converting said serial packet signal; a decode unit which regenerates a plurality of packet signals by decoding said plurality of encoded packet signals from said deserializer; and an unpacker which regenerates a video signal, a sync signal and a data-enable signal by unpacketizing said plurality of packet signals from said decode unit, said decode unit regenerating a control signal including a pulse with a pulse width corresponding to a period of a portion of said plurality of encoded packet signals, which is a portion on which an encode process that is different from a process for the other portion has been performed, and said unpacker determining the number of bytes of a packet based on the pulse width of said pulse in said control signal from said decode unit and unpacketizing said plurality of packet signals according to the number of bytes of said packet.
