Abstract: In a video system incoming video having a given frame size is sent over a video transmission system that supports a different frame size. When a transmitting terminal in the transmission system receives the incoming video, the terminal does not scale the video to fit the transmitted frame size. Instead, the video compression encoder only encodes and sends the data associated with the incoming video. The encoder does not encode or send the rest of the standard transmitted frame. At a receiving terminal in the transmission system, all of the received data is decoded. However, because the decoded data will correspond to the original incoming frame size, this data, rather than the entire transmitted frame, is scaled to match the size of the display or the target window.
