Abstract: Processing interactive software supporting video, including a first computer configured to execute an interactive process and display a video stream response, where the interactive process responds to an external input by generating a control signal and sending the control signal, a remote console configured to receive the control signal and send the video stream response where the video stream response is computed by the remote console, and a hardware interface configured to convert the control signal from a first format to a second format and to convert the video stream response from the second format to the first format where the first computer sends the control signal and receives the video stream response in the first format and where the remote console receives the control signal and sends the video stream response in the second format.
