  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPRESSING, ENCODING AND STREAMING GRAPHICS
    Publication number: 20140009576
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the method includes receiving at least one tile of a current frame of video data. The method further includes determining whether the tile is a static tile or a dynamic tile based on the current frame and a corresponding tile in an earlier frame. The method further includes partitioning pixels of a static tile into at least one bin, the number of bins being greater than the number of color values that were permitted for the corresponding tile in the earlier frame. The static tile is a tile that has not changed from the earlier frame. The method further includes partitioning pixels of a changed tile into at least one bin, the number of bins being less than the number of color values that were permitted for the corresponding tile in the earlier frame. The changed tile is a tile that has changed from the earlier frame.
