Abstract: This disclosure describes a method and system for encoding an RGB24 video signal (504) having multiple video frames. An RGB video frame is received and is split into red, green, and blue data. The received RGB video frame is converted into a first YUV frame (508-1) having Y data same as the red data and a second YUV frame (508-2) having Y data same as the green data. The blue data is segmented into a first data segment having 0-127 values and a second data segment having 128-255 values of the blue color component. The first data segment and the second data segment are embedded as the UV data of the first YUV frame (508-1) and the second YUV frame (508-2) respectively. The first YUV frame (508-1) and the second YUV frame (508-2) are encoded based on a timestamp same as that associated with the received RGB frame.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a virtual multipoint control unit (112, 300) for unified communications. The virtual multipoint control unit (112, 300) communicates with multiple devices (102, 104) over a network (106). The control unit (112, 300) includes multiple unified communication (UC) applications (208, 314) being executed on the devices (102, 104). The UC applications (208, 314) decode received audio data stream and video data stream. A virtual imaging device (214) and a virtual audio device (216) are mapped to the UC applications (208, 314). A virtual video mixer (210) receives the decoded video data stream from the UC applications (208, 314) via the virtual imaging device (214). A virtual audio mixer (212) receives the decoded audio data stream from the UC applications (208, 314) via the virtual audio device (216).
