System and apparatus for video display on a portable display device

Abstract

A method of a computing system of a communication network for providing video to a portable display device includes establishing a connection with a receiving system comprising the portable display device, obtaining compressed video data and decoding the compressed video data, receiving direction information from the receiving system, the direction information related to a direction of the portable display device, identifying a respective location of each macroblock of a plurality of macroblocks of the decoded video data, determining a respective distance between a location determined based on a field of view identified utilizing the direction information, and the respective location of each macroblock of the decoded video data, encoding the decoded video data utilizing a respective quantization parameter identified based on the respective distance determined for each macroblock to provide re-encoded video data, and sending the re-encoded video data to the receiving system for display on the portable display device.
