    Abstract: A display controller provides an output frame to a display for display by sending respective output surface regions that together form the output frame, each respective region of the output surface being generated from a respective region or regions of one or more input surfaces, to the display. When a new version of an output surface region is generated, the display controller determines whether the output surface region has been unchanged for a period, and if it has, then stores the generated output surface region in a frame buffer. Then, for the subsequent frame, checks are performed to see if the output surface region could have changed. If there is no change the stored version of the output surface region is reused, but if there is a change in the output surface region, the output surface region is regenerated.

    Abstract: In a data processing system, an output surface, such as frame to be displayed, is generated as a plurality of respective regions with each respective region of the output surface being generated from a respective region or regions of one or more input surfaces. When a new version of the output surface is to be generated 80, for each region of the output surface it is determined which region or regions of the input surface or surfaces contribute to the region of the output surface 84 and then checked whether the contributing region or regions of the input surface or surfaces have changed since the previous version of the output surface region was generated 85. If there has been a change in the contributing region or regions of the input surface or surfaces since the previous version of the region in the output surface was generated 86, the region of the output surface is regenerated 87.

    Abstract: When performing “time warp slice” rendering for a virtual reality display, the application rendering (30) of the images required for the application that requires the virtual reality display is synchronised (35) to the display frame rate and treated as a “normal” priority task (51) in terms of its scheduling on a host processor. The time warp slice rendering (50) to render the time warp “slices” into the display buffer (21) of the display (4) for scanning out (23) as the display panel is being refreshed is effected as a “real time” priority task (58). To do this, the rendering task setup processing that must be performed on the host processor for that rendering task is scheduled using an earliest deadline first scheduling policy and is synchronised (52) to specific, recurring display events (53) that allow the “real time” priority time warp slice rendering task setup processing on the host processor to be triggered at specific points in the scan out period (23) of the display (4).

    Abstract: The technology described herein relates to a method of generating an encoded output video frame for transmission to an electronic display in which an encoded source video frame is decoded to obtain a decoded source video frame 200a, the decoded source video frame 200a is processed to obtain an input video frame 200c, and the input video frame 200c is encoded to obtain an encoded output video frame for transmission. The method comprises comparing a region of an input video frame 200c with a region of a decoded source video frame 200a from which decoded source video frame the input video frame has been obtained, to determine if the region of the decoded source video frame 200a is similar to the region of the input video frame 200c, and if it is determined that the region of the decoded source video frame 200a is similar to the region of the input video frame 200c, using a region of the encoded source video frame that corresponds to the region of the decoded source video frame as a region of the encoded output video frame for transmission that corresponds to the region of the input video frame.
