Abstract:
The subject system allows a source device providing a content stream over a network connection to a sink device to adaptively bypass a transcoding portion of a content processing pipeline when the original content stream, e.g. the non-transcoded content stream, can be decoded by the sink device and/or when no actions that utilize transcoding have been requested for the content stream. The source device may power down the transcoding portion of the content processing pipeline when the transcoding portion is not in use. When an action that utilizes transcoding is requested, and the transcoding portion of the pipeline is being bypassed, the source device may power on the transcoding portion and adaptively modify the pipeline to pass the content stream through the transcoding portion. The source device may provide configuration messages to the sink device when the pipeline is modified to provide information for decoding the transcoded content stream.

Claim (Index 18):
A computer program product comprising instructions stored in a tangible computer-readable storage medium, the instructions comprising:\n instructions to obtain a content stream for transmission to a sink device that is connected via a network connection; instructions to determine whether any actions that utilize transcoding have been requested with respect to the content stream; instructions to process the content stream via a content processing pipeline, wherein a transcoding portion of the content processing pipeline is bypassed when information is received that indicates that the sink device can decode the content stream, and no actions that utilize transcoding have been requested; instructions to transmit the content stream or a transcoded content stream to the sink device via the network connection with the sink device; and instructions to adaptively modify the content processing pipeline to cause the content stream to pass through the transcoding portion when the transcoding portion is being bypassed and one of the actions that utilizes transcoding is requested with respect to the content stream.
