Patent ID: 7027072

Claim:
A method for spatially compositing digital video images with a tile pattern library, comprising the steps of: (b) choosing a tile pattern from the tile pattern library; (c) creating, for a single frame, a compositing window within a display area of a compositor, wherein a first shape of said created compositing window matches a second shape of a periphery of said chosen tile pattern and wherein said created compositing window is formed by pixels within the display area; (d) decomposing said created compositing window into a first number of contiguous tiles, wherein the first number of contiguous tiles equals a second number of contiguous tiles in said chosen tile pattern, wherein a third shape and a first position of each of the first number of contiguous tiles matches a fourth shape and a second position of a corresponding tile in said chosen tile pattern, wherein at least one of the third shape and the first position of a first tile of the first number of contiguous tiles is different from at least one of the third shape and the first position of a second tile of the first number of contiguous tiles, wherein at least one of an angle formed along a boundary between said first tile and said second tile is other than perpendicular and a portion of said boundary is a nonlinear curve, and wherein each of the first number of contiguous tiles is formed by the pixels within the display area; (e) assigning each tile of the first number of contiguous tiles to a corresponding digital video display unit; and (f) receiving, at each tile of the first number of contiguous tiles, an image output of said assigned corresponding digital video display unit, thereby spatially compositing the digital video images with the tile pattern library.
