Patent ID: 8255962

Claim:
A video processing system for transporting a video stream between a video source and a remote wireless device comprising: a communication interface; and processing circuitry coupled to the communication interface, the processing circuitry operable to: determine a data throughput requirement to transport the video stream over a communication link to the remote wireless device; determine communication link characteristics in response to the data throughput requirement, establish the communication link with the remote wireless device via the communication interface; receive the video stream from the video source via the communication interface; determine first video processing parameters based upon the communication link characteristics; process the video stream based upon the first video processing parameters to generate a first output video stream; transmit the first output video stream to the remote wireless device via the communication interface using the communication link; determine an altered data throughput for the video stream; determine altered communication link characteristics in response to the altered data throughput requirement; determine second video processing parameters based upon the altered communication link characteristics; process the video stream based upon the second video processing parameters to generate a second output video stream; and transmit the second output video stream to the remote wireless device via the communication interface using the communication link.
