Abstract

A device for providing a menu with multiple instantiations for a multi-stream display, the device (220) comprising: a data receiving block (620) for receiving a plurality of audio/video streams; an audio/video block (670) for decoding the plurality of the received audio/video streams and sending the decoded frames of the video streams to a display device, wherein the frames of the video streams are time-interleaved for sequential display of frames of consecutive video streams; and a controller (610) comprising shutter glasses control unit (613) for communicating with shutter glasses (411-414) of watchers (311-314) to transmit information comprising timing of frames of a particular video stream associated with that shutter glasses (411-414). The controller (610) further comprises: a multi-user GUI instantiation manager (611) configured to operate a plurality of instantiations of a GUI, wherein each GUI corresponds to a particular set of watcher devices (321-324), each set comprising the shutter glasses (411-414).
