Abstract
A method of storing video information, i.e., video data, transmitted to a control unit via a plurality of communication paths is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of (a) providing a first memory means in the respective communication paths connected to the control unit, and (b) storing the video information in the first memory means. The video information is transmitted to the first memory means via the respective communication paths. The first memory means acts as a buffer system allowing the storage of multiple image frames. The method further comprises the steps of (c) reading the video data stored in the first memory means in units of a predetermined quantity; and (d) storing the units of read video information in a second memory means.
