Abstract
A method is provided for transmitting image data in a plurality of formats simultaneously over a data path. Successive data blocks, each comprising compressed image data representing a block of pixels of a first image are transmitted over a data path. During intervals between transmission of the successive data blocks, image data representing at least a portion of a second image is transmitted along the data path. An imaging module and imaging device capable of transmitting high resolution compressed data and lo resolution uncompressed data simultaneously over a data path are also provided.
