ABSTRACT:
An information handling apparatus for transferring and composing image signals including a plurality of media sources configured to provide a corresponding plurality of image signals, a media bus connected to the media sources, and a media control module coupled to the media bus. The media bus allows selective access for the plurality of image signals. The selective access enables composition of the independent image signals in response to control information. The media control module receives a composed image signal from the media bus and provides the composed image signal to a display device.
