20120147271 | MULTIMEDIA I/O SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR ADVANCED DIGITAL TELEVISION - Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a multimedia I/O system architecture for advanced digital television. An embodiment of a multimedia system includes an I/O (input/output) control chip, the I/O control chip including one or more audio/video sub-processing engines for the processing of one or more data streams; a processing core chip for the processing of data, including audio/video data received from the I/O control chip; and one or more shared I/O channels for the transfer of data between the I/O control chip and the processing core chip. | 06-14-2012 |
20120257699 | ADJUSTMENT OF CLOCK SIGNALS REGENERATED FROM A DATA STREAM - Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to adjustment of clock signals regenerated from a data stream. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a data stream from a transmitting device via a communication link, the data stream including stream data, a link clock signal, and timestamps to indicate a relationship between the link clock signal and a stream clock signal. The method further includes adjusting the stream clock based at least in part on one or more measurements related to the data stream, the one or more measurements including a count of a number of pulses of the stream clock during a period of time, or a measurement of a number of data elements from the data stream stored in a buffer at a certain point in time. | 10-11-2012 |
20120287344 | AUDIO AND VIDEO DATA MULTIPLEXING FOR MULTIMEDIA STREAM SWITCH - Embodiments of the invention describe a multimedia stream switch capable of multiplexing the audio and the video data of a multimedia stream separately. The multiplexing features of embodiments of the invention enable a multimedia stream switch to control each multimedia data type separately instead of multiplexing the whole streams (i.e., multiplexing sets of audio/video data together). Furthermore, prior art multimedia stream switches need to regenerate audio clocks by using phase locked loop (PLL) circuitry which incurs manufacturing and development costs. Embodiments of the invention provide the mixing of audio and video data from different sources without the need for PLL circuitry. | 11-15-2012 |
20130287100 | MECHANISM FOR FACILITATING COST-EFFICIENT AND LOW-LATENCY ENCODING OF VIDEO STREAMS - A mechanism for facilitating cost-efficient and low-latency video stream encoding for limited channel bandwidth is described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a source device having an encoding logic. The encoding logic may include a first logic to receive a video stream having a plurality of video frames. The video stream is received frame-by-frame. The encoding logic may further include a second logic to determine an input data rate relating to a first current video frame of the plurality of video frames received at the encoding mechanism, and a third logic to generate one or more zero-delta frames based on the input data rate, and allocate the one or more zero-delta frames to one or more first video frames of the plurality of video frames subsequent to the first current video frame. | 10-31-2013 |
20130336334 | MULTIPLE PROTOCOL TUNNELING USING TIME DIVISION OPERATIONS - Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to multiple protocol tunneling using time division operations. An embodiment of an apparatus includes an interface for communication with a second apparatus, the interface including a shared communication link; and a multiplexer to multiplex data of each of multiple protocols into time slots for transmission, the protocols including a first protocol. The time slots are distributed among the protocols, where the distribution of the time slots among the protocols includes assigning one or more time slots to the first protocol to enable the data of the first protocol to meet one or more performance requirements for the first protocol. | 12-19-2013 |
20140016037 | INTEGRATED MOBILE DESKTOP - Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to an integrated mobile desktop. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a display chip to receive graphical data and produce video display signals; and a logic chip to receive data from a mobile device and the video display signals from the display chip to generate a display including at least a portion for a representation of a display of the mobile device. The logic chip provides for integration of operations for the apparatus and the mobile device using the generated display. | 01-16-2014 |
20140192264 | MECHANISM FOR FACILITATING DYNAMIC TIMESTAMP-LESS CLOCK GENERATION FOR TRANSMITTING MEDIA STEAMS OVER SHARED CHANNELS - A mechanism for facilitating dynamic timestamp-less clock generation for transmitting media streams over shared channels is described. In one embodiment, a method includes periodically counting and producing, at a first media device, a number of audio/video (“A/V”) samples, generating a pace clock based on the number of A/V samples, generating a target clock based on the pace clock, and transmitting an A/V media stream based on a frequency difference between a pace frequency relating to the pace clock and a target frequency relating to the target clock. | 07-10-2014 |
20150181157 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FORMATTING AUDIO-VIDEO INFORMATION - Techniques and mechanisms for formatting digital audio-video (“AV”) information. In an embodiment, interface logic includes circuitry to receive digital AV information which, in one or more respects, is according to or otherwise compatible with a first interface specification. The interface logic changes a format of the digital AV information to allow for subsequent physical layer processing which is according to a second interface specification. In another embodiment, conversion logic receives analog signals according to the second interface specification and, based on such analog signals, performs digital information processing for subsequent generation of other analog signals to be transmitted according to the first interface specification. | 06-25-2015 |
