First Claim
1. A method of transmitting a plurality of sequential images captured by an image capture device for display by a display device, said method comprising the steps of:
- reading a first image in a sequence of images captured by said image capture device;
reading a second image in the sequence; and
transmitting said first and second images to said display device for display, wherein further data is transmitted to said display device in the event that said first and second images are not contiguous, said further data indicating that images are not available between said first and second images.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a plurality of sequential image data samples for display, is disclosed. A first one of the image data samples is accessed and then a second one of the image data samples is accessed. The first and second image data samples may then be provided for display, where one or more further data samples are provided in the event that the first and second image data samples are not contiguous. These further data samples indicate that image data samples are not available between the first and second image data samples.
