Abstract
Systems and methods for software-based video rendering are described. A particular implementation includes computer readable media configured to monitor a display cycle of hardware components configured to scan video frames for display on a display device and to render a video frame based, at least in part, on the monitored display cycle.
Claims20
A computing device, comprising:
- a hardware system to scan video frames according to a display cycle;
- and,
- a software-based video rendering engine configured to monitor the display cycle to determine when to render a video frame.
A computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform acts, comprising:
- monitoring a display cycle of hardware components configured to scan video frames for display on a display device;
- and,
- rendering a video frame based, at least in part, on the monitored display cycle.
A computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform acts, comprising:
- predicting a time at which an individual video frame should be rendered based, at least in part, upon a display cycle of hardware configured to create an image from the video frame;
- and,
- prior to rendering the video frame at the time, verifying the display cycle by receiving at least one real-time signal from the hardware indicating a specific point in the display cycle.
