Technology to accelerate scene change detection and achieve adaptive content display

A source device comprising:

• a camera to capture video content;
• a substrate;
• and
• logic coupled to the substrate, wherein the logic is implemented in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic to:
• identify a full-frame difference threshold,
• compare frame difference data associated with the video content to an intermediate threshold that is less than the full-frame difference threshold,
• generate a scene change notification when the frame difference data exceeds the intermediate threshold, and
• modify an encoding scheme associated with the video content in response to the scene change notification.

A sink device comprising:

• a display to present video content;
• a substrate;
• and
• logic coupled to the substrate, wherein the logic is implemented in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic to:
• obtain transport quality data associated with the video content, and
• modify an output parameter of the display based on the transport quality data.

A sink device comprising:

• a network controller;
• a substrate;
• and
• logic coupled to the substrate, wherein the logic is implemented in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic to:
• determine a first view perspective of a still image containing a plurality of image slices,
• retrieve, via the network controller, a subset of the plurality of image slices based on the first view perspective, and
• decode the retrieved subset to obtain a decoded first subset.
