Abstract:
1. A method comprising: concurrently presenting video on two different video playback devices to one user, wherein the two different video playback devices comprise a first playback device and a second playback device, wherein each of the two different video playback devices comprises a screen upon which video is concurrently presented to the user, wherein the screen of the first playback device receives content that it presents from a primary stream of video content, wherein at a first point-in-time the screen of the second playback device shows content approximately equivalent to what is shown on the first playback device; the second playback device receiving a user input from the user to adjust a display property on the screen of the second playback device, wherein the video content presented on the screen of the first playback device is unaffected by the user input, wherein the user input is an input to “pan” or “zoom” the screen of the second playback device; and responsive to the user input, adjusting an output presented on the screen of the second playback device, wherein a second point-in-time occurs after the adjusting of output responsive to the user input completes, wherein at the second point-in-time, the screen of the second playback device does not show content that is approximately equivalent to what is shown on the first playback device, wherein at the second point-in-time, video content presented on the screen of the second playback device comprises video content for a stitched together region that is dynamically stitched together from a first region of the primary stream and from a second region of an enhanced stream, wherein the stitching together of video content overcomes insufficiencies in content available from the primary stream alone.
