Abstract: Systems and methods for fixed delay video switching. One embodiment of the system describes a fixed delay video communication link, which includes: a real-time video encoder (RT-VE) that receives an incoming high-definition uncompressed video (HD-UV), compresses the incoming HD-UV into first or second HD compressed video, and transmits the HD compressed video over a communication link to a real-time video decoder (RT-VD). The RT-VD decompresses the HD compressed video into an outgoing HD-UV. And wherein on-the-fly switches between the first and second compression ratios, while continuing to receive the incoming HD-UV uninterruptedly, are both visually lossless and maintain the same fixed delay between corresponding pixels of the incoming HD-UV and the outgoing HD-UV.

Abstract: Methods and systems for encoding frames while maintaining bounded running disparity, including: encoding the headers of the frames utilizing a first line-code; selecting the first line-code and a second line code for encoding first and second payloads of first and second frames, respectively, based on first and second data types of first and second data comprised in the first and second payloads, respectively; encoding the first and second payloads utilizing the first and second line-codes, respectively; and transmitting the first and second frames over a communication channel characterized by first and second channel conditions, respectively. The second line-code has a minimal Hamming distance lower than that of the first line-code, and the differences between the first and second channel conditions are not enough for selecting the second line-code instead of the first line-code for encoding the second payload.
