Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to conversion of multimedia data streams for use by connected devices. An embodiment of a method for processing data includes receiving a data stream in a first multimedia data format at a first device, and inserting a replacement video portion into the received data stream to generate a modified multimedia data stream in a second multimedia data format. The modified data stream is provided to a second device coupled to the first device.
Claims32
A method for processing data comprising:
- receiving a data stream in a first multimedia data format at a first device;
- inserting a replacement data portion in the received data stream to generate a modified multimedia data stream in a second multimedia data format;
- and
- providing the modified multimedia data stream to a second device coupled to the first device.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more ports for the reception of multimedia data, including reception of a first data stream in a first multimedia data format;
- a first transmitter for transmitting the first data stream for presentation;
- and
- a second transmitter for transmitting a second data stream to a connected device, the second data stream being either the received first data stream or a modified version of the received first data stream in a second multimedia data format, the apparatus generating the modified data stream, the generation of the modified data stream including inserting a replacement data portion in the received data stream.
A multimedia system comprising:
- a multimedia data processing element, including:
- one or more ports for the reception of multimedia data, including reception of a first data stream in a first multimedia data format,
- a first transmitter for transmitting the first data stream for presentation,
- a second transmitter for transmitting a second data stream to a connected device, the second data stream being either the received first data stream or a modified version of the received first data stream in a second multimedia data format, the apparatus generating the modified data stream, the generation of the modified data stream including inserting a replacement data portion in the received data stream, and
- a data generator to generate the replacement data portion.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a data stream in a first multimedia data format at a first device;
- inserting a replacement data portion in the received data stream to generate a modified multimedia data stream in a second multimedia data format;
- and
- providing the modified multimedia data stream to a second device coupled to the first device.
