Abstract:
A method of displaying images on a multiple display configuration including a plurality of display devices comprising the steps of:a. determining capabilities and characteristics of the display devices; b. partitioning an image into a plurality of image sections each corresponding to a display device within the multiple display configuration; c. assigning each image section to a corresponding display device; d. capturing each image section corresponding to each display device from an original data stream; e. scaling each image section for each display device thereby forming scaled image sections corresponding to each display device; f. displaying the corresponding scaled image sections at each display device at an appropriate time thereby forming a magnified image across the multiple display configuration representing the image; g. determining a latency value for each of the display devices; h. determining a worst case latency value for the display devices; and i. communicating the worst case latency value to each of the display devices wherein the worst case latency value is a maximum delay value.
