Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to combining video data streams of differing dimensionality for concurrent display. An embodiment of an apparatus includes an interface to receive multiple video data streams, a dimensionality of each video stream being either two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D). The apparatus further includes a processing module to process a first video data stream as a main video image and one or more video data streams as video sub-images, the processing module including a video combiner to combine the main video data stream and the sub-video data streams to generate a combined video output. The processing module is configured to modify a dimensionality of each of the video sub-images to match a dimensionality of the main video image.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for simultaneously previewing contents from multiple protected sources. A primary data stream associated with a primary port is generated, the primary data stream having a primary image to be displayed on a display screen. A secondary data stream is generated associated with a plurality of secondary ports coupled with the primary port, the secondary data stream having a plurality of secondary images received from the plurality of secondary ports. The secondary data stream and the primary data stream are merged into a display data stream, the display data stream having the primary image and further having the plurality of secondary images as a plurality of preview images. The primary image and the plurality of preview images are displayed on the display screen, wherein each of the plurality of preview images is displayed through an inset screen on the display screen.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to transmission and handling of three-dimensional video content. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a multimedia data stream including video data utilizing an interface protocol and determining that the received video data includes three-dimensional (3D) video data, where each frame of the video data includes a first vertical synchronization (Vsync) signal prior to an active data region, the active data region including a first data region and a second data region. The method further includes converting the 3D video data from a 3D data format to a two-dimensional (2D) video format, where converting the 3D video data includes identifying a region between the first data region and the second data region, inserting a second Vsync signal between the first data region and the second data region, and providing an identifier to distinguish between the first data region and the second data region.
