Abstract

Conversion components may receive game video rendered in high-dynamic-range (HDR) and standard-dynamic-range (SDR) camera video of a game player. The conversion components may provide local video output to a local display and remote video output for network transmission to remote viewers. The SDR camera video may be converted to HDR and provided with HDR game video in the local video output. For HDR network transmission, the HDR game video and converted HDR camera video may be included in the remote video output. For SDR network transmission, the HDR game video may be converted to SDR and provided with the SDR camera video in the remote video output. The game video, camera video and other video feeds may have respective portals in the local and remote video outputs. The local and remote video outputs may have respective visual portal arrangements that may be at least partially different from one another.

Claims (34)

1. A computing device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving a user selection to perform high-dynamic-range (HDR) video transmission;

receiving, from a video game, game video including first high-dynamic-range (HDR) video content;

receiving, from a camera, camera video including standard-dynamic-range (SDR) video content;

converting the SDR video content to second HDR video content;

providing remote video output including the first HDR video content from the game video and the second HDR video content converted from the SDR video content in the camera video, wherein the remote video output is transmitted over one or more networks; and

providing local video output including the first HDR video content, wherein the local video output is displayed on a local display component.

2. The computing device of claim 1 , further comprising the local display component.

3. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is external to a display device that includes the local display component.

4. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the local video output further includes the second HDR video content.

5. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, from a video game, game video including first high-dynamic-range (HDR) video content;

receiving, from a camera, camera video including standard-dynamic-range (SDR) video content;

converting the SDR video content to second HDR video content;

providing remote video output including the first HDR video content from the game video and the second HDR video content converted from the SDR video content in the camera video, wherein the remote video output is transmitted over one or more networks; and

providing local video output including the first HDR video content, wherein the local video output is displayed on a local display component.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the computer-implemented method is performed by a computing device that comprises the local display component.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the computer-implemented method is performed by a computing device that is external to a display device that includes the local display component.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising receiving a user selection to perform HDR video transmission.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the local video output further includes the second HDR video content.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein at least one of a size, shape or location of the first HDR video content is different in the remote video output than in the local video output.

11. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computing instructions that, upon execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a video game, game video including first high-dynamic-range (HDR) video content;

receiving, from a camera, camera video including standard-dynamic-range (SDR) video content;

converting the SDR video content to second HDR video content;

providing remote video output including the first HDR video content from the game video and the second HDR video content converted from the SDR video content in the camera video, wherein the remote video output is transmitted over one or more networks; and

providing local video output including the first HDR video content, wherein the local video output is displayed on a local display component.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the computing device comprises the local display component.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the computing device is external to a display device that includes the local display component.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a user selection to perform HDR video transmission.

15. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the local video output further includes the second HDR video content.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein at least one of a size, shape or location of the first HDR video content is different in the remote video output than in the local video output.
