Abstract: A video display system generally includes a computerized media processing unit configured to receive a plurality of content from a plurality of content sources and configured to combine the plurality of content from the plurality of content sources to generate and output a video signal receivable by at least one display device. The video signal includes an interactive multilayer stream, with a plurality of video layers all displayable on the at least one display device simultaneously with independently variable size and position under the control of a user. The content of one of the video layers may be determined based on the content of a different video layer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are virtual reality systems and methods. An exemplary video display system includes a computerized media processor configured to receive real time video, initialize a centering mode in response to actions by a user of a virtual reality headset, display on a display screen that a centering mode is initialized, and determine a centered orientation of the user. A portion of video may be extracted from the video based on the centered orientation and combined with an informational overlay for display on the display screen.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are video display systems and methods. An exemplary video display system includes a computerized media processing unit configured to receive content including video, audio, graphics and internet content from a plurality of content source devices providing such content and configured to output a blended video signal receivable by a display device; and wherein the video signal output by the media processing unit comprises a plurality of arbitrarily shaped video containers all displayable on the display device simultaneously, each of the plurality of video containers capable of being positioned and displaying video content independent of the video content of the other video containers; wherein the video content displayed in one container may comprise a GUI for control of size and position of each of the other of the plurality of video containers in response to user commands.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for multiplexing (i.e. combining multiple signals into one signal) both a plurality of video content (live and deferred time) and multiple video access mediums (such as cable television, satellite, internet video (clips, programming and movies), video games, DVD players, etc.) in a viewer friendly manner to enhance entertainment and other entertainment possibilities. The output of a selected video content is seen in a container known as a video container. Multiple video containers can be resized and positioned on a large screen television or other display device under viewer control. Control of video containers' video content or other content viewed, audio, and a host of other properties are done via web page controls or preferably connected mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets or other devices.
