First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- an image buffer;
a graphics buffer;
a memory;
a router;
a sensor interface;
a memory controller for controlling transfer of image data from said image buffer to said memory via said router and for controlling transfer of graphics data from said memory to said graphics buffer via said router;
an image controller simultaneously operable with said memory controller or controlling transfer of the image data from said sensor interface to said image buffer,a video generator; and
a graphics controller for receiving graphical data from said graphics buffer and for transferring at least a portion of the graphical data to said video generator, said video generator generating, based in part on the at least a portion of the graphical data, output conforming to a display type, wherein said graphics controller comprises a live mode and an edit mode.

Abstract
An apparatus includes an image buffer, a graphics buffer, a memory, a router, and a sensor interface. The apparatus further includes a memory controller for controlling transfer of image data from the image buffer to the memory via the router and for controlling transfer of graphics data from the memory to the graphics buffer via the router. The apparatus also includes an image controller simultaneously operable with the memory controller for controlling transfer of the image data from the sensor interface to the image buffer. Optionally, the sensor interface comprises a receiver and a transmitter. Optionally, the apparatus further includes a header buffer, and a header controller simultaneously operable with the memory controller for controlling transfer of header data from the sensor interface to the header buffer. The apparatus optionally further includes a sensor for communicating with the header controller via the sensor interface.
