Patent ID: 8125571

Claim:
Video data processing module comprising: a) a processing unit for processing video data, which are distributed in picture frames, according to a processing that can be configured by configuration data, which is capable of converting video data to be processed into video data processed according to a configured processing, which is itself furnished with: a video input for retrieving the video data to be processed, a video output for supplying said processed video data, a configuration input for retrieving the configuration data, b) an input bus capable of delivering an input data stream comprising the video data to be processed and suitable for integrating the configuration data into the input data stream in “dead times” Nine between two successive picture frames of the video data, c) an output bus capable of delivering an output data stream comprising the processed video data, d) a control unit that is connected to the input bus, that is capable of separating the video data to be processed and the configuration data in the input data stream delivered by the input bus, that is connected to the video input of the video processing unit in order to transmit the video data to be processed to this unit after separation in the input data stream and that is connected to the configuration input of the video processing unit in order to transmit the configuration data to this unit after separation in the input data stream, wherein the duration of configuration that is required to configure the processing unit according to said configured processing is inferior to the duration of the “dead times”.
