  • Publication number: 20220238061
    Abstract: Various implementations of an electronic paper display system and related processes are provided. The system includes a battery powered electronic paper display device containing a first processor module, and, remotely located to the electronic paper display device, a second processor module. The second processor module is configured to retrieve image content from an image source, and to render image data from the image content. The second processor module is further configured to transmit the rendered image data to the first processor module which is configured to then display an image page corresponding with the rendered image content on a display of the electronic paper device. Additionally, one or more input devices can be included in the system to enable a user to control the display of image content on the display of the electronic paper device.

  • Publication number: 20160203579
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for improving the flexibility and performance of video walls including a method for using a primary GPU for initial rendering to a GPU frame buffer, copying of this frame buffer to system memory for processing into multiple sub-frames then outputting the sub-frames via multiple secondary graphics controllers. This system enables the video wall server to leverage performance advantages afforded by GPU acceleration and maintaining performance while providing full flexibility of the CPU and system memory to apply the required transformations to the sub-images as well as flexibility in the selection of secondary graphics controllers (including network graphics approaches where the graphics controller is connected over a network) for outputting the multiple sub-images to a plurality of displays. This has applications generally in the field of real-time multiple display graphics processing as well as specific applications in the field of video walls and network video walls.

  • Publication number: 20150279037
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for identifying, placing and configuring a physical arrangement of a plurality of displays via image analysis of captured digital camera images depicting unique configuration images output to said displays to facilitate uniform operation of said plurality of displays as a single display area for example as a video wall. The system pairs and configures displays depicted in the captured images to individual displays within the physical arrangement through controlling and analyzing of the output of said displays captured in said images. A method and computer readable medium are also disclosed that operate in accordance with the system.
