1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving plural representations of a single video signal, wherein each of the plural representations includes a respective sequence of latticed pictures, wherein each latticed picture in each of the plural representations originates from a corresponding respective picture of the video signal, wherein the order of successive pictures in each of the plural representations of the video signal corresponds to the order of successive pictures in the video signal;
processing the plural representations;
separating the processed plural representations into plural segments, each segment consisting of a respective sequence of processed latticed pictures from one of the processed plural representations;
arranging the plural segments in successive segments distributions intervals (SDIs) according to a first temporal order and a second temporal order, the successive SDIs to be provided in a video stream;
promoting one or more of the processed latticed pictures among one or more of the plural segments, the promotion corresponding to an increase in picture importance;
processing the arranged plural segments, wherein a first complete set of representations of a first segment of the video signal is provided over a number of successive SDIs equal to number of representations in the first complete set, wherein the oldest segment corresponds to processed latticed pictures having the earliest picture output span; and
providing the processed arranged plural segments in a video stream, wherein receipt of the first segment triggers;
decompressing the processed latticed pictures of the first segment;
forming pictures by de-latticing the decompressed pictures of the first segment; and
providing the de-latticed pictures of the first segment for display at a partial picture resolution of the corresponding pictures of the video signal, the partial resolution corresponding to a picture resolution of 1/p, where p equals the number of arranged plural segments.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method that includes receiving plural representations of a single video signal, wherein each includes a respective sequence of latticed pictures, wherein each latticed picture in each of the plural representations originates from a corresponding respective picture of the video signal; processing the plural representations; separating the processed plural representations into plural segments, each segment consisting of a respective sequence of processed latticed pictures from one of the processed plural representations; arranging the plural segments in successive segments distributions intervals (SDIs) according to a first temporal order and a second temporal order, the successive SDIs to be provided in a video stream; and promoting one or more of the processed latticed pictures among one or more of the plural segments, the promotion corresponding to an increase in picture importance.
