Abstract
Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for receiving non-standard video data via a single standard universal serial bus (USB) interface, where the non-standard video data includes sensor data from one or more sensors in addition to standard video frames from an image detector. Some embodiments include recovering a standard video picture encoding packet from a standard USB packet, and recovering non-standard video data. Some embodiments include detecting a pseudo-video frame within the non-standard video data, determining sensor data from one or more sensors from the pseudo-video frame, and transmitting the sensor data to a monitor scaler processor. Some embodiments include storing the standard USB packet, and in response to the detecting, discarding the pseudo-video frame.
