Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may include a graphics processor operable to generate video frames, wherein the graphics processor is operable to begin generating a partial update region of a video frame upon receiving a framelock signal. Further, a screen refresh controller may be communicatively coupled with the graphics processor, wherein the screen refresh controller is operable to receive partial update regions of video frames from the graphics processor and send framelock signals to the graphics processor. Additionally, a display device may be communicatively coupled with the screen refresh controller, wherein the display device is operable to receive and display video frames from the screen refresh controller.

Abstract: Systems and methods for protecting display presentation information are presented. In one embodiment, graphics processing method includes receiving presentation information; performing an unauthorized display protection process; and forwarding result of the alteration in the presentation information. In one exemplary implementation the unauthorized display protection process introduces a characteristic in the graphics data signal that is compatible with an authorized display (e.g., trusted display, internal display, etc.) while distorting the graphics data signal in a manner that is not compatible with accurate presentation by an unauthorized display (e.g., untrusted display, external display, etc.). It is appreciated that a variety of characteristics that can be introduced or altered in the presentation information signal. In one embodiment, alterations are made to standard control signals (e.g., stuffing begin/end indications, blank start/end indications, reset indicators, etc.
