Server node arrangement and method

A method of processing data in a server node arrangement having a plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement being coupled via a communication network to a plurality of source devices of input data, and to one or more output devices, wherein the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement are operable to receive data content from the plurality of source devices of input data, and to process the data content for supplying to the one or more output devices, the method comprising:

• hosting one or more processes at the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement which are operable to:
• determine a form which is compatible to a native data rendering format of the one or more output devices, wherein the form includes a native resolution of the one or more output devices, and
• process the data content into the determined form and into the native resolution of the one or more output devices;
• rendering the data content from the plurality of source devices of input data at each of the one or more output devices simultaneously and without scaling the processed data content;
• operating the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement to supply the processed data content to the one or more output devices in a manner compatible with a region-of-interest (ROI) of the one or more output devices;
• operating the one or more output devices to define in a message to the server node arrangement one or more parameters which define one or more native formats in which the one or more output devices require theft data content to be supplied from the server node arrangement;
• operating the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement to store data content from the one or more source devices of input data in its original resolution, and supply the data content to the one or more output devices in a format which is compatible with a native format of the one or more output devices;
• and
• operating the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement to process data content there through in a manner allowing for dynamically-changeable image rescaling in response to user input at the one or more output devices.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processing system, cause the processing system to process data in a server node arrangement having a plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement being coupled via a communication network to a plurality of source devices of input data, and to one or more output devices, wherein the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement are operable to receive data content from the plurality of source devices of input data, and to process the data content for supplying to the one or more output devices, by performing the steps of:

• steps comprising:
• hosting one or more processes at the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement which are operable to:
• determine a form which is compatible to a native data rendering format of the one or more output devices, wherein the form includes a native resolution of the one or more output devices, and
• process data content into the determined form and into the native resolution of the one or more output devices;
• rendering the data content from the plurality of source devices of input data at each of the one or more output devices simultaneously and without scaling the processed data content;
• operating the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement to supply the processed data content to the one or more output devices in a manner compatible with a region-of-interest (ROI) of the one or more output devices;
• operating the one or more output devices to define in a message to the server node arrangement one or more parameters which define one or more native formats in which the one or more output devices require theft data content to be supplied from the server node arrangement;
• operating the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement to store data content from the one or more source devices of input data in its original resolution, and supply the data content to the one or more output devices in a format which is compatible with a native format of the one or more output devices;
• and
• operating the plurality of nodes of the server node arrangement to process data content there through in a manner allowing for dynamically-changeable image rescaling in response to user input at the one or more output devices.
