Multi-channel KVM server system employing multiresolution decomposition

摘要

A multi-channel KVM server system for supplying video data to a plurality of clients is disclosed. The KVM server includes a plurality of video processors and a video switch for connecting each video processor to one or more video sources. Each video processor processes video data using a multiresolution decomposition method to generate a plurality of decomposition components at different resolution levels. A main processor of the KVM server transmits the decomposition components generated by various video processors to various clients based on the clients' requirements. When some clients are in a multi-source (“TV wall”) mode and some clients are in a single-source mode, the main processor uses decomposition components generated by some video processors to supply both the clients in single-source mode and as a part of the TV wall data for the clients in multi-source mode.
