The instructions are based on whether it is determined that the user is focused. The graphics driver is further to determine a focus area associated with the particular location the user is focusing their attention on, determine a peripheral area around the focus area, generate a first set of post processing instructions for pixel macro blocks within the focus area, generate a second set of post processing instructions for pixel macro blocks within the peripheral area, and generate a third set of post processing instructions for pixel macro blocks not within either area. | 01-23-2014 |

20140112645 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING MOVING IMAGE DATA - An electronic apparatus of the present invention includes a reading section which reads moving image data stored in an external storage medium by one of a plurality of reading methods and a decoding section which decodes the moving image data read by the reading section, in which a decoding speed at which the moving image data is decoded by the decoding section and a reading speed at which the moving image data is read by the reading section are identified, and a reading method that is used when the reading section reads the moving image data is selected based on whether the identified decoding speed and the identified reading speed identified are in a predetermined relationship. | 04-24-2014 |
20140112646 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - An image display device includes: an interpolation phase generator that generates an interpolation phase on the basis of downsampling frame information representing a downsampling timing at which at least one frame image of the image signal is thinned, and an interpolation frame generator that generates an interpolation frame image corresponding to the interpolation phase. The interpolation phase generator generates the interpolation phase such that a phase distance between a first interpolation frame image from among a plurality of interpolation frame images within one period of downsampling periods, and a second interpolation frame image that follows the first interpolation frame image becomes equal to a phase distance between mutually adjacent interpolation frame images obtained when phase distances between a plurality of interpolation frame images are equalized within one period of the downsampling periods. | 04-24-2014 |
20140153909 | AUDIO AND VIDEO MANAGEMENT FOR PARALLEL TRANSCODING - Disclosed are various embodiments directed to transcoding a bit stream comprising audio and video frames that contains discontinuities. The video and/or audio portion of the bit stream may be divided into segments, where some of the segments are transcoded in parallel using a plurality of transcoder devices. In some embodiments, a discontinuity is detected in the bit stream before encoding, where the discontinuity is associated with a shift in a set of time stamps associated with the bit stream. A magnitude of the discontinuity is determined. The transcoding system aligns at least a portion of the audio frames to the series of video frames according to at least the discontinuity and the magnitude of the discontinuity. In other embodiments, the discontinuity is detected after encoding by analyzing time stamps that have been established during the transcoding process. | 06-05-2014 |
