Abstract: A system is disclosed for processing and streaming real-time graphics by a video-server for synchronized output via secondary-network connected display adapters to multiple displays arranged as a video-wall. This system enables the video-server to leverage performance advantages afforded by advanced GPUs, combined with low-cost Smart displays or System-on-Chip devices to deliver advanced realtime video-wall capabilities over the network while offering flexibility in the selection of network display adapters and still achieving synchronized output of multiple sub-image streams to selected end-point displays. This has applications generally in the field of real-time multiple-display graphics distribution as well as specific applications in the field of network video-walls. A method and computer readable medium are also disclosed that operate in accordance with the system.

Abstract: A system for operating multiple independent terminals of grouped, locally connected input and output devices through a single graphical user interface layer running on a computer comprising an event queue module for receiving each input command from each input device; an event handler module for receiving the input commands from the event queue module and directing input commands from specific input devices via corresponding socket/listeners of the single graphical user interface layer to corresponding ones of multiple pointers, focuses and client applications based on predetermined associations between grouped devices and respective ones of the socket/listeners; and an output module for directing output commands from each socket/listener to respective ones of the output devices based on the predetermined associations.
