Abstract
Techniques for multi-view video format control are provided. In some embodiments, a display video format supported by a display panel is determined. A video format code is extracted from a coded bitstream in which a plurality of images is encoded in two or more source video formats. The video format code identifies a source video format in which a set of images in the plurality of images is encoded. A video format filter is selected to modify the set of images encoded in the source video format to generate another set of images encoded in the display video format. The other set of images encoded in the display video format is sent to the display panel.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- determining a display video format supported by a display panel;
- extracting a video format code from a coded bitstream, the coded bitstream comprising image data for a plurality of images encoded in two or more source video formats, and the video format code identifying a source video format in which a set of images in the plurality of images is encoded;
- selecting a video format filter to modify the set of images encoded in the source video format to generate another set of images encoded in the display video format;
- sending said another set of images encoded in the display video format to the display panel;
- wherein the method is performed by one or more devices comprising a computer processor.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more video format filters;
- and
- a video format controller, configured to perform:
- determining a display video format supported by a display panel;
- extracting a video format code from a coded bitstream, the coded bitstream comprising image data for a plurality of images encoded in two or more source video formats, and the video format code identifying a source video format in which a set of images in the plurality of images is encoded;
- selecting a video format filter in the one or more video format filters to modify the set of images encoded in the source video format to generate another set of images encoded in the display video format;
- sending said another set of images encoded in the display video format to the display panel.
