Abstract: Approaches for dynamically allocating CPU cycle resources to a video encoder. A resource allocator assesses an amount of available CPU cycle resources on the hardware device on which it executes. The resource allocator determines that a change in the amount of available CPU cycle resources has occurred. The resource allocator, adjusts, in real-time, which particular cycle profile, in a plurality of cycle profiles, is assigned to at least one of a plurality of video modules. The plurality of cycle profiles each allocate, to video modules, a particular amount CPU cycle resources for processing digital video. The plurality of cycle profiles also each specify a set of configuration settings and are arranged in a sequence based upon the video quality and density achievable by video modules using configuration settings associated with each cycle profile when processing digital video.

Abstract: This application describes techniques for correcting distortion in projected images. In some instances, a projection device may project an image onto a projection surface within an environment. However, the projected image may initially distorted from the perspective of a user within the environment due to the angle of the projection onto the surface and due to the location of the user relative to the projection. To help correct this distortion from the vantage point of the user, the user utilizes a mobile device to capture an image of the projection. This image is then used to calculate one or more calibration parameters for execution by the projection device to remove the distortion of the image as projected from the perspective of the user.
