Title: Methods and devices for distributing video data in a multi-display system using a collaborative video cutting scheme
Inventor: TOCZE LIONEL
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 2014-01-27
Abstract: The invention relates to the field of multi-display/multi-projector systems and covers a method and distributing video data between given nodes of a multi-display system. The method for distributing video data to the display devices involves determining routing paths for distributing elementary sub-streams to their respective destination display devices, and involves cutting the source video streams into sub-streams that group elementary sub-streams when possible, to limit the number of cutting operations. Working on elementary sub-streams makes it possible to reduce the bandwidth required over the communication links, by selecting appropriate routing paths, thereby overcoming network bandwidth limitation. In addition, grouping elementary spatial sub-areas to define the video sub-streams that are actually sent makes it possible to reduce the number of cutting operations, since larger sub-areas are defined. This helps overcoming any limitation of cutting capabilities at the nodes.
