Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a multicast video stream directed to an array of a plurality of display modules movably attached to a modular display, extracting, by the system, video display data from the multicast video stream according to a location within the array of a first display module of the plurality of display modules, and updating, by the system, a video display of the first display module according to the video display data that is extracted from the multicast video stream, wherein the updating is synchronized to a master clock of the modular display. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a memory to store executable instructions;
- and
- a processing system comprising a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processing system, responsive to executing the executable instructions, performs operations comprising:
- receiving configuration information for panoramic media content from a video streaming module, wherein the configuration information defines a module location for each display module in a module array resulting in a plurality of display modules, wherein a video display comprises the module array;
- determining a first pixel density for a first display module and determining a second pixel density for a second display module, wherein the second display module is in an adjacent location to the first display module, wherein the module array comprises the first display module and the second display module;
- determining a difference between the first pixel density and the second pixel density;
- adjusting the first pixel density to smooth an appearance of the difference between the first pixel density and the second pixel density and to generate an adjusted module array;
- and
- presenting the panoramic media content on the adjusted module array of the video display.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving panoramic media content from a media content server;
- segmenting the panoramic media content according to a plurality of display modules of a module array resulting in a segmented panoramic media content;
- receiving configuration information for panoramic media content from a video streaming module, wherein the configuration information defines a module location for each display module in the module array, wherein a video display comprises the module array;
- determining a first pixel density for a first display module and determining a second pixel density for a second display module, wherein the second display module is in an adjacent location to the first display module, wherein the module array comprises the first display module and the second display module;
- determining a difference between the first pixel density and the second pixel density;
- adjusting the first pixel density to smooth an appearance of the difference between the first pixel density and the second pixel density and to generate an adjusted module array;
- and
- presenting the panoramic media content on the adjusted module array of the video display.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processing system including a processor, configuration information for panoramic media content from a video streaming module, wherein the configuration information defines a module location for each display module in a module array resulting in a plurality of display modules, wherein a video display comprises the module array;
- determining, by the processing system, a first pixel density for a first display module and determining a second pixel density for a second display module, wherein the second display module is in an adjacent location to the first display module, wherein the module array comprises the first display module and the second display module;
- determining, by the processing system, a difference between the first pixel density and the second pixel density;
- adjusting, by the processing system, to smooth an appearance of the difference between the first pixel density and the second pixel density resulting in an adjusted module array, wherein the adjusting of the first pixel density for the first display module comprises adjusting pixel density of an edge of the first display module adjacent to the second display module;
- and
- presenting, by the processing system, the panoramic media content on the adjusted module array of the video display.
