- a display;
- a memory associated with the processing unit;
- a video unit that has a steaming process, a decoding process and a rendering process;
- a first window in the memory for storing encoded content data;
- a second window in the memory for storing raw content data;
- and
- wherein the streaming process receives encoded content data from a link and stores it into the first window and the decoding process decodes the encoded content data in the first window and stores the raw content data in the second window and the rendering process retrieves the raw content data from the second window and renders the content that is displayed on the display.
