Abstract: A disclosed wireless tunneling system tunnels communications between two processing apparatuses through a wireless link, while maintaining compliance of the communications between the two processing apparatuses with a wired communication protocol. In one embodiment, the wireless tunneling system includes two wireless tunneling apparatuses that communicate with each other through the wireless link. A local wireless tunneling apparatus is coupled to a local processing apparatus through a wired connection and a remote wireless tunneling apparatus is coupled to the remote processing apparatus through another wired connection. In one aspect, the local wireless tunneling apparatus predicts a state of the remote processing apparatus, and mirrors the predicted state of the remote processing apparatus.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to conversion of multimedia data streams for use by connected devices. An embodiment of a method for processing data includes receiving a data stream in a first multimedia data format at a first device, and inserting a replacement video portion into the received data stream to generate a modified multimedia data stream in a second multimedia data format. The modified data stream is provided to a second device coupled to the first device.

Abstract: A more efficient and less memory-access intensive post-processing architecture to substantially reduce blocking and ringing artifacts from decompressed video image data is provided. The post-processing architecture in accordance with the present invention implements a “pipelined” filtering process wherein a filter buffer, a blocking filter, and a ringing filter are serially connected to each other. The serial connection allows decompressed video image data to be first provided to a blocking filter for substantially reducing blocking artifacts and then the de-blocked video image data can be provided directly to a ringing filter for de-ringing without the need of an extra memory access.
