Patent ID: 7889191

Claim:
A method of providing a video presentation from a host to a display device that does not have internal frame memory, the video presentation including a plurality of video frames, the method comprising the steps of: sequentially receiving from the host each of the plurality of video frames; while the step of sequentially receiving continues, sequentially presenting each of the plurality of video frames to the display device without the usage of a reference clock derived from a host clock, where a remaining plurality of video frames after an initial set of video frames are presented so that each of a remaining plurality of the plurality of video frames are received by the display device in a manner that reduces video drift and prevents video tearing in each of the remaining plurality of video frames, wherein the step of sequentially presenting uses an algorithm based on a timing wheel in order to maintain synchronization, and wherein where all clock cycles which make up the frame are represented as positive numbers on a right side of the timing wheel and negative numbers on a left side of the timing wheel.
