    Abstract: One embodiment may include media circuits, an application processor, a direct memory access circuit (DMA), and a media managing circuit. The application processor may issue media commands into a queue. The media managing circuit may retrieve a first media command, set the DMA to copy data associated with the first media command to the first media circuit, and send the first media command to the first media circuit. While the first media command is being executed, the media managing circuit may also retrieve a second media command, determine that the second media command utilizes data that is dependent on a completion of the first media command, and set the DMA to copy data from the first media circuit to the second media circuit. After the first media command has been completed, the media managing circuit may also send the second media command to the second media circuit.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, an electronic device includes an electronic display. The electronic display provides a programmable latency period in response to receiving a first image frame corresponding to first image frame data. The electronic display also displays the first image frame after the programmable latency period and during display of the first image frame, receives a second image frame corresponding to second image frame data. The electronic display also repeats display of the first image frame in response to receiving the second image frame.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display panel and image processing circuitry. The image processing circuitry receives input image data corresponding to an image to display on the display panel, modifies the input image data by executing a first context task (e.g., lower priority task), and receives a context switch request. The image processing circuitry also pauses modification of the input image data by pausing execution of the first context task and then switches to modifying the input image data by executing a second context task (e.g., higher priority task).
