| 20090251602 | System and Method for Providing Video and Audio Signals to Multiple Displays - A system and method for providing digital AV signal to multiple displays where the digital AV signal is displayed simultaneously and sychronized. Exemplary embodiments utilize serializers, de-serializers, and clock cleaners to transmit the data to a chain of display nodes. The display nodes convert the serial data stream into a parallel data stream. The parallel data stream is de-jittered and used to drive a display and optional audio system. The parallel data stream is then converted back into a serial data stream and sent to the next display node in the chain. A clock present in the data stream allows synchronization of all the displays in the chain. A distribution display node may be used at any display node location to increase the number of chains in the data delivery system. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090260028 | VIDEO BUFFER FOR USE IN ADVERTISEMENT DISPLAYS - A video buffer system and method for use with advertising display systems. Programming packets are stored at the video buffer and displayed in a continuous loop until the next programming packet has been received and stored. The video buffer system allows for displays to continuously display advertisements during data stream interruption or delay. The video buffer system also records the number of times an advertisement has been played to ensure accurate billing for the advertisement. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100109974 | SYSTEM FOR SUPPLYING VARYING CONTENT TO MULTIPLE DISPLAYS USING A SINGLE PLAYER - A system for displaying content on multiple electronic displays utilizing a single video player and transmitter. Some displays may show dynamic video and the remaining displays may show static images. Alternatively, every display may be showing static images. The player provides frames of video which may be encoded with unique display identifiers which direct the system to display the proper frames on the proper displays. The transmitter may be in wireless or hard-wired electrical communication with the display receivers. If using a hard-wired embodiment, the displays may be daisy-chained together to reduce the length of wire/cable needed. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100238352 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING MULTIPLE IMAGES/VIDEOS ON A SINGLE DISPLAY - A system and method for displaying multiple images on a single display. A plurality of unique video sources may be provided where each video source provides video frames having a plurality of vertical lines. A portion of the vertical lines are captured for each video source and transmitted to the display. The partial video frames may then be re-assembled into a single video frame which can be shown on the display. The display contains a masking where only certain vertical lines are viewable at certain angles. The masking may allow two or three images to be simultaneously visible to the observer, depending on the angle of viewing the display. Wireless or wired transmission may be used. Some embodiments also use a sound focusing device which may be synced with the video source so that separate sound messages can also be observed depending on the angle of viewing the display. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100242081 | SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING A PLURALITY OF UNIQUE VIDEO/AUDIO STREAMS - A system and method for distributing a plurality of unique streams of video data. Each stream of video data may be encoded with a unique identifier and each receiver may be associated with one of the unique identifiers. The streams of video data may be multiplexed onto a single cable and distributed to the receivers using various networking techniques. A receiver may decode only the video stream for which it has been previously associated with. Once decoded the video stream may be displayed by an electronic display. The streams of video data may be in different resolutions and/or different frame rates from one another. The network may be in two-way communication with the internet so that a receiver's association with a particular stream of video data can be changed remotely. | 09-23-2010 |
