  • Patent number: 9078028
    Abstract: A method and device for providing synchronized data output is provided. The method includes generating two data streams sending data to be presented in synchronization. Both streams are generated by the same processor-based device. The first data stream follows a first protocol and the second data stream follows a second (different) protocol. The processor of the processor-based device adjusts a data rate of the second data stream to cause a reduction in any timing offset between the streams.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8886846
    Abstract: Systems and methods are used to configure a communication channel. A source device can dynamically map Display Port lanes to support both display devices and USB3.0 devices. A method for configuring a communication channel includes detecting a device connection event indicating a change to a configuration of the communication channel in response to a branch device of the communication channel satisfying a dynamic configuration capability criteria indicating that the communication channel is reconfigurable. Configuration parameters of a sink device in the communication channel are identified. The communication channel is reconfigured to carry a source data stream to the sink device based on the configuration parameters.

  • Patent number: 8681160
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing data. The systems and methods include multiple processors that each couple to receive commands and data, where the commands and/or data correspond to frames of video that include multiple pixels. Additionally, an interlink module is coupled to receive processed data corresponding to the frames from each of the multiple processors. The interlink module controls a phase alignment between the processors. The interlink module selects pixels of the frames from the processed data of one of the processors based on a predetermined pixel characteristic and outputs the frames that include the selected pixels.

  • Publication number: 20130174208
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for electronic device communication. A method includes translating monitor control commands to an internet protocol (IP) format to produce IP formatted monitor control commands, and communicating the IP formatted monitor control commands to an IP port dedicated for communicating IP formatted monitor control commands.

  • Publication number: 20110242142
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a chrominance and luminance module. The chrominance and luminance module obtains display characteristics of each of a plurality of displays. The chrominance and luminance module selectively adjusts, on a per display basis, chrominance and luminance for each of the displays based on the display characteristics. In one example, the displays collectively display a single large surface.

  • Patent number: 7884836
    Abstract: When a physical change (e.g. a change in screen orientation) is detected at a display device that is attached to a graphics subsystem of a host device and on which images are currently being displayed, a hot plug detect signal may be provided to the graphics subsystem. In response, the graphics subsystem may adjust its processing of images to account for the physical change (e.g. the image may be rotated). The display device may communicate data representative of the physical change to the graphics subsystem. The graphics subsystem may use this data to determine how its processing of images should be adjusted. The data may be communicated over an I2C bus regardless of whether a hot plug detect signal is provided.
