System And Method For Display Device Discovery

摘要

A method for creating a list of display devices that are available to receive a video signal from an image generator via network video streaming. One version of the method includes transmitting a display availability packet indicating one or more of the display devices that are available for connection, updating a network display listing module with the information stored in the display availability packet, and transmitting an availability request packet requesting a list of the display devices that are available to receive the video signal. In response to receiving an availability request packet, a display resource list, indicating the display devices available to receive the video signal, is generated from the metadata contained in the availability request packet.

1. A method for creating a list of available display devices that are available to receive a video signal from an image generator via network video streaming comprising:
transmitting, from a network video processor to a network display listing module, a display availability packet indicating one or more of the display devices that are available for connection; updating the network display listing module with the information stored in the display availability packet; transmitting, from the image generator to the network display listing module, an availability request packet requesting a list of the display devices that are available to receive the video signal; in response to receiving the availability request packet, transmitting, from the network display listing module to the image generator, a display resource list generated from the metadata contained in the availability request packet, wherein the display resource list indicates which of the display devices are available to receive the video signal; creating a display connection set comprising the display devices listed in the display resource list; and establishing a connection between the image generator and each of the display devices in the display connection set.
