Abstract: A image processing system for displaying a source image includes a memory for storing a source image having a high resolution digital format, a display screen having a low resolution digital format, and a media acceleration hardware unit adapted to increase color depth values from the source image and generate a plurality of temporally shifted images from the source image by sequentially shifting an origin point for a frame applied to the source image and scaling source image pixel values from each frame, thereby generating the plurality of shifted images having the second, relatively low resolution for display at the display screen.

Abstract: Embodiments of the video data capture and stream method comprise intercepting a flip function call comprising a call by the video application to flip frames between a display and a buffer, grabbing a copy of the current frame that would normally be processed by a central processing unit (CPU), placing the copy in a queue for processing by a graphics processing unit (GPU), wherein processing by the GPU is significantly faster than processing by the CPU.
