Abstract: A method for effectively implementing a multi-room television system includes a digital base station that processes and combines various program sources to produce a processed stream. A communications processor then responsively transmits the processed stream as a local composite output stream to various wired and wireless display devices for flexible viewing at variable remote locations. The transmission path performance is used to determine the video encoding process, and special attention is taken to assure that all users have low-latency interactive capabilities.

Abstract: A system and method for effectively encoding and decoding electronic information includes an encoding system with a tiling module that initially divides source image data into data tiles. A frame differencing module then outputs only altered data tiles to various processing modules that convert the altered data tiles into corresponding tile components. A quantizer performs a compression procedure upon the tile components to generate compressed data according to an adjustable quantization parameter. An adaptive entropy selector then selects one of a plurality of available entropy encoders to most effectively perform an entropy encoding procedure to thereby produce encoded data. The entropy encoder may also utilize a feedback loop to adjust the quantization parameter in light of current transmission bandwidth characteristics.

Abstract: A multi-user host computer system comprises a host computer that processes applications and the desktop environments for multiple remote terminals. The host computer includes a terminal services offload processor to supplement the processing of the host CPU. For each remote terminal, the terminal services offload processor may improve the video and graphics performance and allow the multi-user host computer system to more efficiently support multiple users. The host computer may include a graphics processor that manages a virtual display for each remote terminal and provides selective updates of sub frame data. Where appropriate, the sub frame data is encoded and transmitted over the network to the remote terminals. Video data streams are also optimized by the terminal services offload processor and optimized for the intended remote terminals and their respective network connections. The terminal services offload processor may be implemented in programmable hardware and may be a separate subsystem or may also be used to perform other offload tasks.

Abstract: A multi-display system includes a host system that supports both graphics and video based frames for multiple remote displays, multiple users or a combination of the two. For each display and for each frame, a multi-display processor responsively manages each necessary aspect of the remote display frame. The necessary portions of the remote display frame are further processed, encoded and where necessary, transmitted over a network to the remote display for each user. In some embodiments, the host system manages a remote desktop protocol and can still transmit encoded video or encoded frame information where the encoded video may be generated within the host system or provided from an external program source. Embodiments integrate the multi-display processor with either the video decoder unit, graphics processing unit, network controller, main memory controller, or any combination thereof The encoding process is optimized for network traffic and attention is paid to assure that all users have low latency interactive capabilities.

Abstract: An image processing system using bitstream information for enhancing visual display quality. The processing system retains I frames and some P or B frames from a standard MPEG-2 bitstream, and stores the information across multiple Groups of Pictures (GOPs). The system uses prediction block information in conjunction with detected object edges and bitstream vector information to analyze object optical flow and to reconstruct high quality image frames. The system can also utilize supplemental bitstream information such as layer coding, instructional cues, and image key meta data to further improve the quality of the image frames and for special system functions. When an input image does not include MPEG-2 motion vector bitstream information, the system uses techniques such as optical flow, block matching, or Pel-recursion to estimate motion that tracks the image object motion.
