Abstract

A multi-display system includes a host system that supports both graphics and video based frames for multiple remote displays, multiple users or a combination of the two. For each display and for each frame, a multi-display processor responsively manages each necessary aspect of the remote display frame. The necessary portions of the remote display frame are further processed, encoded and where necessary, transmitted over a network to the remote display for each user. In some embodiments, the host system manages a remote desktop protocol and can still transmit encoded video or encoded frame information where the encoded video may be generated within the host system or provided from an external program source. Embodiments integrate the multi-display processor with either the video decoder unit, graphics processing unit, network controller, main memory controller, or any combination thereof The encoding process is optimized for network traffic and attention is paid to assure that all users have low latency interactive capabilities.
