Abstract

The video display system includes a plurality of display devices having mutually different display delay times and a video conversion device that divides an input integrated video signal into a plurality of video signals and respectively outputs the plurality of video signals to the plurality of display devices. At least one of the plurality of video signals is output in a delayed state to make a difference between display timings of the plurality of videos respectively displayed on the plurality of display devices substantially zero, based on the display delay times.

Claims (40)

a video conversion device that divides an input integrated video signal into a plurality of video signals and respectively outputs the plurality of video signals to the plurality of display devices,

wherein at least one of the plurality of video signals is output in a delayed state with respect to the other of the plurality of video signals to make a difference between display timings of the plurality of videos respectively displayed on the plurality of display devices substantially zero, based on the display delay times,

the plurality of display devices includes an output device controlled by a third video signal,

the input integrated video signal includes the third video signal for controlling the output device,

the plurality of display devices include a first display device and a second display device,

the plurality of video signals include a first video signal for causing the first display device to display a first video and a second video signal for causing the second display device to display a second video,

a display delay time of the first display device is longer than a display delay time of the second display device,

the second video signal is delayed with respect to the first video signal to make a difference between display timings of the first video and the second video substantially zero, and

the video display system further comprises an integrated video content generator that generates an integrated video signal by integrating the first video signal and the second video signal, and outputs the integrated video signal to the video conversion device, the integrated video content generator delaying and integrating the second video signal with respect to the first video signal.

2. The video display system according to claim 1 , wherein the display delay times is a predetermined value respectively corresponding to the plurality of display devices.

3. The video display system according to claim 1 , further comprising an imaging device that captures the plurality of videos respectively displayed by the plurality of display devices, wherein the video conversion device calculates the display delay times based on the plurality of videos captured.

4. The video display system according to claim 1 , wherein the video conversion device delays a timing of outputting the second video signal.

5. The video display system according to claim 1 , wherein the input integrated video signal is generated based on frame rate information of each of the plurality of display devices.

6. The video display system according to claim 1 , wherein the input integrated video signal is generated based on resolution information of each of the plurality of display devices.

7. The video display system according to claim 1 , wherein the input integrated video signal is generated with at least one video signal of the plurality of video signals corresponding to a group including at least one display device of the plurality of display devices appearing while being sequentially selectively switched every at least one frame.

8. A video display system comprising:

a plurality of display devices having mutually different display delay times; and

a video conversion device that divides an input integrated video signal into a plurality of video signals and respectively outputs the plurality of video signals to the plurality of display devices,

wherein at least one of the plurality of video signals is output in a delayed state with respect to the other of the plurality of video signals based on the display delay times,

the plurality of display devices includes an output device controlled by a third video signal,

the input integrated video signal includes the third video signal for controlling the output device,

the plurality of display devices include a first display device and a second display device,

a display delay time of the first display device is longer than a display delay time of the second display device,

the second video signal is delayed with respect to the first video signal to make a difference between display timings of the first video and the second video substantially zero, and

the video display system further comprises an integrated video content generator that generates an integrated video signal by integrating the first video signal and the second video signal, and outputs the integrated video signal to the video conversion device, the integrated video content generator delaying and integrating the second video signal with respect to the first video signal.

9. A video display method for causing a plurality of display devices having mutually different display delay times to respectively display a plurality of videos, the video display method comprising:

an information input step of inputting information related to the display delay times;

a video conversion step of dividing an input integrated video signal into a plurality of video signals; and

a video output step of outputting the plurality of video signals respectively corresponding to the plurality of videos,

wherein in the video output step, at least one of the plurality of video signals is output in a delayed state with respect to the other of the plurality of video signals based on the display delay times,

wherein the plurality of display devices includes an output device controlled by a third video signal,

the input integrated video signal includes the third video signal for controlling the output device,

the plurality of display devices include a first display device and a second display device,

the plurality of video signals include a first video signal for causing the first display device to display a first video and a second video signal for causing the second display device to display a second video,

a display delay time of the first display device is longer than a display delay time of the second display device,

the second video signal is delayed with respect to the first video signal to make a difference between display timings of the first video and the second video substantially zero, and

the video display method further comprises (i) an integrated video content generating step of generating an integrated video signal by integrating the first video signal and the second video signal, (ii) an outputting step of outputting the integrated video signal, and (iii) a video delay and integration step of delaying and integrating the second video signal with respect to the first video signal.
