Abstract
A system is provided that includes a computing device operable to render video content for display on a display device and to periodically refresh that display device. The video content includes at least one application window. A desktop compositor is operable to wake and execute commands to compose video frames that are composited surfaces that include the at least one application window and to initiate a buffer flip to deliver the video frames to the display device. A high resolution timer is operable to cause the desktop compositor to wake and execute the commands in multiple instances between display refreshes.
Claims24
A system, comprising:
- a computing device operable to render video content for display on a display device and to periodically refresh that display device, the video content including at least one application window;
- a desktop compositor operable to wake and execute commands to compose video frames that are composited surfaces that include the at least one application window and to initiate a buffer flip to deliver the video frames to the display device;
- and
- a high resolution timer operable to cause the desktop compositor to wake in multiple instances between display refreshes to execute the commands if rendered video content is sensed.
A method, comprising:
- rendering video content for display on a display device and periodically refreshing that display device, the video content including at least one application window;
- operating a desktop compositor to wake and execute commands to compose video frames that are composited surfaces that include the at least one application window and to initiate a buffer flip to deliver the video frames to the display device;
- and
- operate a high resolution timer to cause the desktop compositor to wake in multiple instances between display refreshes to execute the commands if rendered video content is sensed.
In a system including a first computing system having a display device and being operable to render video content for display on the display device and to periodically refresh that display device, the video content including at least one application window, a method, comprising:
- rendering the video content for display on a display device and periodically refreshing that display device;
- operating a desktop compositor to wake and execute commands to compose video frames that are composited surfaces that include the at least one application window and to initiate a buffer flip to deliver the video frames to the display device;
- and
- operate a high resolution timer to cause the desktop compositor to wake in multiple instances between display refreshes to execute the commands if rendered video content is sensed.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions for performing a method, comprising:
- rendering video content for display on a display device and periodically refreshing that display device, the video content including at least one application window;
- operating a desktop compositor to wake and execute commands to compose video frames that are composited surfaces that include the at least one application window and to initiate a buffer flip to deliver the video frames to the display device;
- and
- operate a high resolution timer to cause the desktop compositor to wake in multiple instances between display refreshes to execute the commands if rendered video content is sensed.
