An apparatus may include a memory and graphics logic operative to render a set of one or more data frames for storage in the memory using a received set of data of a digital medium, and output one or more control signals at a first interval. The apparatus may also include a display engine operative to receive the one or more control signals from the graphics logic, retrieve the set of one or more data frames from the memory, and send the one or more data frames to a display device for visual presentation. The one or more data frames may be sent periodically in succession at a second interval corresponding to a native frame rate of the digital medium.
