System and method of video multiplexing
In one or more embodiments, a display may receive a command that includes configuration information associated with a video stream, receive a video frame and may determine if the video frame is a synchronization frame. If the video frame is the synchronization frame, the display may reset one or more counters and may provide the video frame to another display or a repeater. If the video frame is not the synchronization frame, the display may determine if the video frame is to be displayed. If the video frame is to be displayed, the display may display the video frame and may provide the video frame to the other display or the repeater. If the video frame is not to be displayed, the display may provide the video frame to the other display or the repeater.
1. A display, comprising:
a control unit;
wherein the control unit is configured to:
receive a command that includes configuration information associated with a video stream;
receive a video frame;
determine that the video frame is a synchronization frame, including determining that the video frame includes at least one pattern including a plurality of colors;
in response to determining that the video frame is the synchronization frame:
reset one or more counters; and
provide the video frame to another display or a repeater;
determining that the video frame is not the synchronization frame and in response determine that the video frame is to be displayed;
in response to determining that the video frame is to be displayed:
display the video frame; and
provide the video frame to the other display or the repeater; and
determining that the video frame is not the synchronization frame, and in response determining that the video frame is not to be displayed;
in response to determining that the video frame is not to be displayed, provide the video frame to the other display or the repeater.
2. The display of claim 1 , wherein, to receive the command that includes the configuration information associated with the video stream, the control unit is further configured to receive the command from an information handling system or another repeater.
3. The display of claim 1 , wherein, to receive the video frame, the control unit is further configured to receive the video frame from an information handling system or another repeater.
4. The display of claim 1 , wherein the command include the at least one pattern.
5. The display of claim 1 , wherein, determining that the video frame is to be displayed, the control unit is further configured to determine that a frame count associated with the video frame matches a parity associated with the command.
6. A method, comprising:
a display receiving a command that includes configuration information associated with a video stream;
the display receiving a video frame;
the display determining that the video frame is a synchronization frame, including determining that the video frame includes at least one pattern including a plurality of colors;
in response to determining that the video frame is the synchronization frame:
the display resetting one or more counters; and
the display providing the video frame to another display or a repeater;
the display determining that the video frame is not the synchronization frame, and in response, the display determining that the video frame is to be displayed;
in response to the display determining that the video frame is to be displayed:
the display displaying the video frame; and
the display providing the video frame to the other display or the repeater; and
the display determining that the video frame is not the synchronization frame, and in response, the display determining that the video frame is not to be displayed; and
in response to determining that video frame is not be displayed, the display providing the video frame to the other display or the repeater.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the display receiving the command that includes configuration information associated with the video stream includes the display receiving the command from an information handling system or another repeater.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the display receiving the video frame includes the display receiving the video frame from an information handling system or another repeater.
9. The display of claim 6 , wherein the command include the at least one pattern.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the display determining that the video frame is to be displayed includes determining that a frame count associated with the video frame matches a parity associated with the command.
11. A system, comprising:
an information handling system; and
a plurality of displays coupled to the information handling system;
wherein a first display of the plurality is coupled to the information handling system;
wherein the information handling system includes:
at least one processor; and
a memory medium, coupled to the processor;
wherein the memory medium includes processor instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the information handling system to:
provide a command, that includes configuration information associated with a video stream, to each of the plurality of displays; and
provide a plurality of video frames to the first display; and
wherein the first display is configured to:
receive the command;
receive a video frame of the plurality of video frames;
determine that the video frame is a synchronization frame, including determining that the video frame includes at least one pattern including a plurality of colors;
in response to determining that the video frame is the synchronization frame;
reset one or more counters; and
provide the video frame to a second display of the plurality of displays or a repeater;
determining that the video frame is not the synchronization frame, and in response, determine that the video frame is to be displayed;
in response to determining that the video is not the synchronization frame, and in response, determining that the video frame is to be displayed:
display the video frame; and
provide the video frame to the second display or the repeater; and
determining that the video frame is not the synchronization frame, and in response, determining that the video frame is not to be displayed;
in response to determining that the video frame is not to be displayed, provide the video frame to the second display or the repeater.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein, to receive the command, the first display is further configured to receive the command from the information handling system or another repeater.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein, to receive the video frame, the first display is further configured to receive the video frame from the information handling system or another repeater.
14. The display of claim 11 , wherein the command include the at least one pattern.
