    Abstract: An enhanced display encoder system for a video stream source includes an enhanced video encoder that has parallel intra frame and inter frame encoding units for encoding a video frame, wherein an initial number of macroblocks is encoded to determine a scene change status of the video frame. Additionally, a video frame history unit determines an intra frame update status for the video frame from a past number of video frames, and an encoder selection unit selects the intra frame or inter frame encoding unit for further encoding of the video frame to support a wireless transmission based on the scene change status and the intra frame update status. A method of enhanced video frame encoding for video stream sourcing is also provided.
