Abstract
To supplement a video display on a conventional television, a surround video stream may be projected onto wall and other surfaces adjacent the television. The surround video stream may derive from a wide angle lens camera positioned alongside the main camera. The surround video stream may be processed in a local processor to compensate for departures from planar geometry in the wall surfaces. Where no surround video stream is received, a video processor may synthesize a surround video stream from the main video signal. Moving objects represented in the main video signal may be synthesized in the surround video to provide the perception of movement across the viewer'"'"'s full field of view.

14. A method of distributing video content, comprising:
-
supplying a primary representation of a first view of a scene which representation is decodable to provide a primary video display; and
supplying a surround representation of a second view of the scene, being a wider angle view than said first view, which surround representation is separately decodable to provide a surround video display in a region surrounding the primary display region. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method of distributing video content, comprising:
-
supplying a primary representation of a first view of a scene which representation is decodable to provide a primary video display; and
supplying surround information which surround representation is separately decodable to provide a surround video display in a region surrounding the primary display region such that apparent motion of at least one object in the primary video display is extrapolated into the surround video display - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A video processing apparatus comprising:
-
an input stage for receiving a video input;
a primary display driver connected with the input stage and adapted to provide a primary video signal for a primary display on a screen in a room; and
a surround video processor connected with the input stage and adapted to provide a surround video signal for a surround display projected onto surfaces of the room adjacent the screen, the surround video processor being adapted to hold geometrical parameters of said surfaces and to compensate in said surround video signal for said parameters. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
