Video monitoring system
In a video monitoring system including HD and SD cameras, the system includes, on the transmitting side, a division/rotation processing unit for dividing an SD image into multiple divided images horizontally and performing a process for rotating the divided images by 90 degrees to the left, an image insertion unit for arranging and superimposing the divided images in a text telop region of an HD image, and a HD encoder for compressing and transmitting the HD image with the SD image superimposed. The system further includes, on the receiving side, a HD decoder for expanding the received HD image, and an output image processing unit for extracting the multiple divided images of the SD image and rotating these images by 90 degrees to the right, sorting and combining these images to reproduce the SD image, and outputting the expanded output HD image and the reproduced output SD image.
1. A video monitoring system including an HD camera configured to capture an HD (high definition) image and an SD camera configured to capture an SD (standard definition) image, the system comprising:
on a transmitting side, a transmitting-side image processing unit configured to divide the SD image into a plurality of images and insert the divided images into a text telop region of the HD image, and an HD encoder configured to compress and output the HD image into which the divided images are inserted to a transmission path; and
on a receiving side, an HD decoder configured to expand the image received via the transmission path, and a receiving-side image processing unit configured to extract and combine the divided images from the text telop region in the expanded HD image to generate an output SD image, output the output SD image to a first display unit, and output the expanded HD image from which the divided images have been removed as an output HD image to a second display unit.
2. The video monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting-side image processing unit divides the SD image into a plurality of images in a horizontal direction and rotates the divided images by 90 degrees, and
the receiving-side image processing unit extracts the divided images, rotates the divided images by 90 degrees in a direction opposite to the rotation direction in the transmitting-side image processing unit, and combines the divided images in the horizontal direction to generate the output SD image.
3. The video monitoring system of claim 1 , further comprising: on the transmitting side, a transmission unit configured to transmit an inputted text data, and
on the receiving side, a receiving unit configured to output a received text data to the receiving-side image processing unit,
wherein the receiving-side image processing unit converts the text data into an image, and superimposes and outputs the image on a text telop region of the output HD image.
4. The video monitoring system of claim 2 , further comprising: on the transmitting side, a transmission unit configured to transmit an inputted text data, and
on the receiving side, a receiving unit configured to output a received text data to the receiving-side image processing unit,
wherein the receiving-side image processing unit converts the text data into an image, and superimposes and outputs the image on a text telop region of the output HD image.
