Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses and methods to decrease a size of a memory in a low-latency video communication system are described. A control unit is configured to monitor a condition associated with at the communication link. The control unit is configured to receive the video content over a link based on monitoring. A memory comprising a full-frame buffer is coupled to the control unit. The full-frame buffer is configured as a history buffer to store a full frame of the video in a coding format that matches the coding format of the video content received over the link. A display unit is coupled to the history buffer. A portion of the full-frame buffer is configured as a network streaming buffer.

Abstract: A system and method for processing a graphics primitive for display in a display area defined by a scissoring window. The graphics primitive is part of an object in view space which also includes a near and a far plane and possibly one or more user-defined clipping planes. These planes may affect the portion of the graphics primitive to be rendered in the display area. The graphics primitive is enclosed by a bounding box, which is then reduced, if possible, based on the Znear clipping plane intersecting the graphics primitive. The reduced bounding box is then subjected to the scissoring window if a portion of the bounding box lies outside the window. The final bounding box determines how much of the graphics primitive should be rendered in the display area. This reduces the amount of rendering that is required of the graphics system, and increases the performance of the system.
