Systems and methods for projecting images from a computer system

摘要

Methods, systems and devices are described for place shifting media content from a computer system to a remotely-located display over a network. The media content to be place shifted is captured at the computer system, wherein the media content includes a portion of imagery presented on a local display associated with the computer system. The captured media content is transcoded or otherwise converted to a media stream in a format that is transmittable on the network. The media stream is then transmitted on the network for presentation on the remotely-located display.

主权项

1. A method of place shifting moving video content presented on a computer system display to a remotely-located display over a network, the method comprising:
capturing a portion of the imagery presented on the computer system display that comprises the moving video content to be place shifted, wherein the capturing comprises capturing frames of raw video data describing the portion of the imagery to thereby represent the moving video content at a frame rate; converting the captured frames of the raw video data from the raw video data describing the portion of the imagery into a media stream that represents the moving video content in a compressed moving video format that is transmittable on the network; and transmitting the converted media stream on the network for presentation on the remotely-located display.
