Abstract

A video transmission device 10 has: a packer 11 which receives a video signal, a sync signal, and a data-enable signal, and generates a plurality of packet signals by packetizing the video signal and the sync signal based on the data-enable signal and according to the number of bytes of a packet corresponding to the number of gradation bits of the video signal; an encode unit 15 which generates a plurality of encoded packet signals by encoding the plurality of packet signals; and a serializer 14 which generates a serial packet signal by parallel-serial converting the plurality of encoded packet signals. The packer 11 generates a control signal including a pulse with a pulse width corresponding to the number of bytes of the packet, and the encode unit 15 subjects a portion of the packet signals corresponding to the pulse in the control signal from the packer, to an encode process which is different from a process for the other portion.

Claims (21)

1. 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.

2. 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 unpacker receiving a set value of the number of bytes of a packet corresponding to the number of gradation bits of said video signal and unpacketizing said plurality of packet signals according to the set value of the number of bytes of said packet.

3. The video signal reception device according to claim 1 , wherein said decode unit comprises:

a decoder which regenerates a plurality of scrambled packet signals by decoding said plurality of encoded packet signals from said deserializer; and

a descrambler which regenerates said plurality of packet signals by descrambling said plurality of scrambled packet signals from said decoder,

wherein said decoder regenerates said control signal including a pulse with a pulse width corresponding to a period of a portion of said plurality of encoded packet signals on which an encode process that is different from a process for the other portion has been performed, and

wherein said descrambler does not descramble a portion of said packet signals corresponding to a period where the pulse of said control signal exists.

4. The video signal reception device according to claim 2 , wherein said decode unit comprises:

a decoder which regenerates a plurality of scrambled packet signals by decoding said plurality of encoded packet signals from said deserializer; and

a descrambler which regenerates said plurality of packet signals by descrambling said plurality of scrambled packet signals from said decoder,

wherein said decoder regenerates said control signal including a pulse with a pulse width corresponding to a period of a portion of said plurality of encoded packet signals on which an encode process that is different from a process for the other portion has been performed, and

wherein said descrambler does not descramble a portion of said packet signals corresponding to a period where the pulse of said control signal exists.
