Abstract: A rail-arrangement having a first mounting rail and a spaced apart second mounting rail for receiving carrier units for fibre-optic components, in particular for patch panels. The first and second mounting rails each extend over multiple discrete height levels (H1, H2, H3), to receive and to distribute the received carrier units. Each mounting rail has at least one primary linear guide at each height level (H1, H2, H3), to guide the received carrier unit parallel to a longitudinal axis (L) of the mounting rail. Each mounting rail has, at at leas one height level (H1, H2, H3), bearing surfaces for the primary linear guide and/or for the received carrier unit. The bearing surfaces are spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis (L) of the mounting rails.

Abstract: A method and system for presenting image data to a video output device is disclosed. One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method, which includes the steps of queuing the buffer of image data for display, attaching an object to a command associated with presenting the buffer of image data, wherein the object is capable of storing timing information relating to executing the command, and enabling an application program to access the timing information.

Abstract: A method and system for converting an image data generated by a graphics subsystem into a video format. In one embodiment, the method includes generating the image data, storing the image data in a buffer, capturing the buffer to convert the image data to a texture, mapping the texture to at least one polygon to create a formatted image, and converting the formatted image to a stream of data in the video format.
