Patent Images
1. A method of providing multiple image streams for transmission across one or more interfaces, comprising:
- receiving at least one digital image data input stream, said digital image data input stream containing digital image information;
creating at least two digital image data streams from said at least one digital data input stream, each of said at least two digital image data streams comprising at least a portion of said digital image information;
converting said at least two digital image data streams into at least two respective output image streams; and
providing said at least two respective output image streams for transmission across said one or more interfaces.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the processing of images over bandwidth-limited trasmission interfaces, such as processing of high resolution video images over standard analog video interfaces, using multi-stream and/or multi-resolution analog methodology. The disclosed systems and methods may also be implemented to provide video resolutions across standard analog video interfaces in a manner that supports digital capture and imaging techniques obtain useful information from digitally zoomed and enhanced video.
