Abstract
Described herein are technologies related to playing moving-images content and more particularly to playing such content on a display possessing a display refresh rate which is typically greater than the inherent frame rate (e.g., a cinematic frame rate) of the content. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- detecting a generation of a moving-images content;
- responsive to the detecting of the content, detecting a frame rate of the content;
- based on the detected frame rate of the content, determining whether a playing of the content is to be at an industry-standard cinematic frame rate;
- responsive to the determining of whether the playing of the content is to be at the cinematic frame rate, switching from driving a display at a refresh rate that is higher than the cinematic frame rate to driving the display with the playing of the content and at the cinematic frame rate;
- transmitting the playing of the content at the cinematic frame rate via a wireless transmitter;
- accepting a synchronization signal associated with the playing of the content;
- responsive to the synchronization signal, grabbing a frame of the content;
- and
- compressing the grabbed frame.

A method comprising:
- detecting a generation of a moving-images content;
- responsive to the detecting of the content, detecting a frame rate of the content;
- based on the detected frame rate of the content, determining whether a playing of the content is to be at a cinematic frame rate;
- and
- responsive to the determining of whether the playing of the content is to be at the cinematic frame rate, switching from outputting a first drive signal for a display at a display refresh rate that is higher than the cinematic frame rate to outputting a second drive signal for the display at the cinematic frame rate.

A system comprising:
- a graphics driver configured to be executed by one or more processors to be in communication with a content source and configured to:
- detect a generation of a moving-images content by the content source,
- responsive to the detection of the content, detect a frame rate of the content,
- based on the detected frame rate of the content, determining whether a playing of the content is to be at a cinematic frame rate;
- and
- a graphics transport application configured to be executed by one or more processors to be communication with the graphics driver and a display, the graphics driver being further configured to send an indication of the cinematic frame rate at which the content is to be played to the graphics transport application, the graphics transport application being configured to, responsive to the indication of the cinematic frame rate, switch from providing a first drive signal for the display at a display refresh rate that is higher than the cinematic frame rate to providing a second drive signal for the display at the cinematic frame rate.

A computer readable media with machine-executable instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform an operation comprising:
- detecting a generation of a moving-images content;
- responsive to the detecting of the content, detecting a frame rate of the content;
- based on the detected frame rate of the content, determining whether a playing of the content is to be at a cinematic frame rate;
- and
- responsive to the determining of whether the playing of the content is to be at the cinematic frame rate, switching from providing a first drive signal for a display at a display refresh rate that is higher than the cinematic frame rate to providing a second drive signal for the display at the cinematic frame rate.
