Abstract
In an implementation of a display source divider, a video generation system generates a video display source that includes display data for multiple display regions on a display device. For example, a gaming system generates a video display source that includes display data for a partitioned display, where each region of the partitioned display corresponds to a different player of the gaming system. A display source divider receives the video display source and generates multiple video streams each corresponding to a different display region of the partitioned display.
Claims62
A multi-display system, comprising:
- a video generation system configured to generate a video display source that includes display data for multiple display regions of a partitioned display;
- and
- a multi-display output divider configured to receive the video display source and generate multiple video streams each corresponding to a different one of the multiple display regions.
A multi-display output divider, comprising:
- a display source divider configured to receive a video display source that includes display data for a partitioned display, the display source divider further configured to generate multiple video streams each corresponding to a different display region of the partitioned display;
- and
- multiple digital-to-analog converters each configured to convert a different one of the multiple video streams to analog video data such that each display region is configured for display on a separate display device.
A display source divider, comprising:
- a display source replicator configured to receive display data for multiple display regions on a display device, the display source replicator being further configured to replicate the display data to generate multiple video streams each corresponding to a different one of the multiple display regions;
- and
- multiple display region processors each configured to shift timing synchronization for a different display region such that each display region is re-positioned for display on a respective display device.
A display source divider, comprising:
- a horizontal resampler configured to receive display data for multiple display regions on a display device, the horizontal resampler further configured to horizontally resample the display data to generate display region data that corresponds to at least one of the multiple display regions being re-sized horizontally;
- a vertical resampler configured to vertically resample the display region data such that the at least one display region is re-sized vertically;
- and
- multiple display region timing generators each configured to generate timing synchronization data for a different one of the display regions such that a display region is positioned for full-screen display on a respective display device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a video display source that includes display data for multiple display regions of a partitioned display;
- extracting timing synchronization data from the video display source for each of the multiple display regions;
- and
- generating multiple video streams each corresponding to a different one of the multiple display regions such that each display region is configured for display on a separate display device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a video display source that includes display data for multiple display regions on a display device;
- extracting timing synchronization data from the video display source for each of the multiple display regions;
- and
- replicating the video display source to generate multiple video streams each corresponding to a different one of the multiple display regions.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a video display source that includes display data for multiple display regions on a display device;
- extracting timing synchronization data from the video display source for each of the multiple display regions;
- horizontally resampling the video display source to generate display region data that corresponds to one or more of the multiple display regions being re-sized horizontally;
- vertically resampling the display region data such that the one or more multiple display regions are re-sized vertically;
- and
- generating timing synchronization data such that the multiple display regions are each positioned for full-screen display on a separate display device.
One or more computer-readable media comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed, direct a display source divider to:
- receive a video display source that includes display data for multiple display regions of a partitioned display;
- and
- generate multiple video streams each corresponding to a different one of the multiple display regions such that each display region is configured for display on a separate display device.
