Patent ID: 7298397

Claim:
A video transmission system comprising: a camera including: a sensor memory adapted to store video data having lines until each said line of the stored video data is sequentially transmitted; a data buffer adapted to receive and store a first said line of the sequentially transmitted video data until the line is completely received at a base unit memory without errors, wherein the data buffer is operably coupled to the sensor memory; a data port adapted to receive the first line from the data buffer and transmit the first line to a camera physical transceiver, wherein the data port is operably coupled to the data buffer; a controller adapted to control data flow between the camera and a base unit, wherein the controller is operably coupled to the data port; and the camera physical transceiver adapted to transfer the first line to a physical transceiver of the base unit, wherein the camera physical transceiver is operably coupled to the data port; and wherein the base unit includes: the base unit physical transceiver adapted to receive the transferred first line, wherein the base unit physical transceiver is operably coupled to the camera physical transceiver; a base unit data port adapted to receive the first line from the base unit physical transceiver and transmit the first line to a base unit data buffer, wherein the data port is operably coupled to the base unit physical transceiver; a controller adapted to control data flow between the base unit and the camera, wherein the controller is operably coupled to the data port; the base unit data buffer adapted to store the first line video data from the base unit data port until it is completely received at the base unit physical transceiver without errors, wherein the base unit data buffer is operably coupled to the base unit data port; and the base unit memory adapted to receive and sequentially store each said line of the transferred video data, wherein the base unit memory is operably coupled to the data buffer.
