Abstract
Presented herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for displaying pictures. In one embodiment, there is presented a decoder system for decoding video data. The decoder system comprises a port and a transport processor. The port receives packets carrying encoded video data from a plurality of video streams. The transport processor adds a header to encoded video data from at least one of the packets. The header identifies a particular one of the plurality of video streams, wherein the at least one packet is from the particular one of the plurality of video stream.
Claims19
A decoder system for decoding video data, said decoder system comprising:
- a port for receiving packets carrying encoded video data from a plurality of video streams;
- and
- a transport processor of the decoder system for adding an indicator to encoded video data from at least one of the packets, the indicator identifying a particular one of the plurality of video streams, wherein the at least one packet is from the particular one of the plurality of video streams.
A decoder system for providing a plurality of decoded video streams, said decoder system comprising:
- a video decoder for decoding pictures from a plurality of encoded video streams;
- and
- an output processor of the decoder system for adding at least one indicator to at least one of the decoded pictures, said at least one indicator identifying at least one particular video stream, wherein the at least one decoded picture is from the at least one particular video stream.
A method for decoding video data, said method comprising:
- receiving transport packets carrying encoded video data from a plurality of video streams;
- determining from a transport header of one of the transport packets which video stream to which the transport packet belongs;
- and
- adding an indicator to encoded video data from the transport packet, the indicator identifying a particular one of the plurality of video streams, wherein the transport packet is from the particular one of the plurality of video streams.
A method for providing a plurality of decoded video streams, said method comprising:
- decoding pictures from a plurality of encoded video streams;
- and
- adding at least one indicator to at least one of the decoded pictures, said at least one indicator identifying at least one particular video stream, wherein the at least one decoded picture is from the at least one particular video stream.
A video conference processor for providing displaying a plurality of video streams, said video conference processor comprising:
- a plurality of display queues corresponding to the plurality of video streams;
- and
- a picture demultiplexer for determining a particular video stream for a decoded picture, wherein the picture is from the particular video stream and writing the decoded picture to a particular one of the display queues corresponding to the particular video stream.
