Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support video-aware screen capture and compression. More specifically, the video-aware approach first detects whether or when video content is being actively played back on a screen of a hosting device.

The compressed static and video content of the screen are separately and independently transmitted across the network to remote computing devices and are then decompressed and processed to reconstruct screen of its original content for display at the screens of the remote computing devices.
