Abstract
Video signals for a mobile terminal are converted to accommodate reproduction by an alternative display terminal. The video signal is processed to provide a converted video signal appropriate for an alternative display terminal that is separate from the mobile terminal. This converted video signal is then provided for the alternative display terminal to accommodate the corresponding video display on a screen provided by the alternative (e.g., external) display terminal.
Claims43
A cellular phone comprising:
- an input interface configured to receive a multimedia signal appropriate for displaying a multimedia content on the cellular phone, wherein the multimedia signal is a compressed digital signal;
- at least one processing unit configured to perform a processing of the multimedia signal,
- wherein the processing of the multimedia signal comprises decompressing the compressed digital signal to a decompressed digital signal,
- wherein the processing of the multimedia signal further comprises encoding the decompressed digital signal to produce an encoded digital signal, and
- wherein the encoded digital signal comprises a decompressed high definition digital video signal;
- and
- a high definition digital output interface configured to transmit the encoded digital signal and to receive power.
