Abstract

A multi video generation apparatus is provided to transmit partial videos to a multivision. The multi video generation apparatus generates partial videos from a video, and transmits the generated partial videos to displays connected thereto. In the multi video generation apparatus, the number of video transmission modules for transmitting the video to the connected display may be changed according to a content of a multi video to be displayed on the display. Therefore, it is possible to generate more diverse types of multi video which a user desires to display on a multivision.

Claims

1. A multi video generation apparatus comprising:

a video provider which provides a video; and

at least one video transmission module which generates a partial video from the video provided by the video provider, and transmits the generated partial video to a display connected thereto.

2. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one video transmission module extracts different portions of the video provided by the video provider, generates different partial videos, and transmits the generated partial videos to different displays connected thereto.

3. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein a first video transmission module among the at least one video transmission module extracts a first portion of the video provided by the video provider, generates a first partial video, and transmits the generated first partial video to a first display, and

the first video transmission module extracts a second portion of the video provided by the video provider, generates a second partial video, and transmits the generated second partial video to a second display.

4. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein a second video transmission module among the at least one video transmission module generates a partial video from a first video provided by the video provider, transmits the generated partial video to a third display, and transmits a second video provided by the video provider to a fourth display.

5. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the second video is a video representing predetermined information with text.

6. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the first video is one of a broadcast video, a prestored video, a video received from an external device and a video received from an external network, and

the second video is one of the prestored video, the video received from the external device and the video received from the external network.

7. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the number of the at least one video transmission module is below the number of displays connected to the multi video generation apparatus.

8. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a plurality of slots which receive the video provided by the video provider,

wherein the at least one video transmission module is attached to at least one of the plurality of slots, and receives the video provided by the video provider.

9. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the number of the plurality of slots is above the number of the at least one video transmission module.

10. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the number of the at least one video transmission module is variable.

11. A multi video generation apparatus comprising:

a video provider which provides a video;

a plurality of slots which receive the video provided by the video provider; and

at least one video generation module which is attached to at least one of the plurality of slots and transmits the video provided by the video provider to a display connected thereto,

wherein the number of the at least one video generation module is variable according to a content of a multi video to be displayed on the display.

12. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the number of the at least one video generation module is below the number of the plurality of slots.

13. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the number of the at least one video generation module is below the number of displays connected to the multi video generation apparatus.

14. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the at least one video generation module extracts different portions of the video provided by the video provider, generates different partial videos, and transmits the generated partial videos to different displays connected thereto.

15. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein a first video generation module among the at least one video generation module generates a partial video from the video provided by the video provider, and transmits the generated partial video to a display connected thereto.

16. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein a second video generation module among the at least one video generation module extracts a first portion of the video provided by the video provider, generates a first partial video, and transmits the generated first partial video to a first display, and

the second video generation module extracts a second portion of the video provided by the video provider, generates a second partial video, and transmits the generated second partial video to a second display.

17. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein a third video generation module among the at least one video generation module generates a partial video from a first video provided by the video provider, transmits the generated partial video to a third display, and transmits a second video provided by the video provider to a fourth video.

18. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 17, wherein the second video is a video representing predetermined information with text.

19. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 17, wherein the first video is one of a broadcast video, a prestored video, a video received from an external device and a video received from an external network, and

the second video is one of the prestored video, the video received from the external device and the video received from the external network.

20. The multi video generation apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein a fourth video generation module among the at least one video generation module transmits a third video provided by the video provider to a fifth display connected thereto, and transmits a fourth video provided by the video provider to a sixth display connected thereto.
