Abstract
A vehicle (01) has at least two image data sources (02), at least one mixing unit (03), at least one conversion unit (04) and an image display unit (05). The pixel data (09) generated with the image data sources (02) can be brought together by means of the mixing unit (03) in particular for simultaneous display on the image display unit (05). With the conversion unit (04), the pixel data (10) can be transformed to a form of image data (11) which can be displayed on the image display unit (05). The mixing unit (03) includes at least two data input ports (06) for receiving pixel data (09) from the two image data sources (02), and at least one data output port (07) for the brought-together pixel data (10). The conversion unit (04) includes at least one data input port (08) for the brought-together pixel data (10). The data output port (07) of the mixing unit (03) is directly or indirectly connected to the data input port (08) of the conversion unit (04). A method for operating an image processing system in a vehicle (01) is provided in which first the pixel data (09) of the various image data sources (02) is brought together by means of the mixing unit (03), and thereafter, by means o…
