1. A method of place shifting moving video content presented on a computer system display to a remotely-located display over a network, the method comprising:
- capturing a portion of the imagery presented on the computer system display that comprises the moving video content to be place shifted, wherein the capturing comprises capturing frames of raw video data describing the portion of the imagery to thereby represent the moving video content at a frame rate;
converting the captured frames of the raw video data from the raw video data describing the portion of the imagery into a media stream that represents the moving video content in a compressed moving video format that is transmittable on the network; and
transmitting the converted media stream on the network for presentation on the remotely-located display.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices are described for place shifting media content from a computer system to a remotely-located display over a network. The media content to be place shifted is captured at the computer system, wherein the media content includes a portion of imagery presented on a local display associated with the computer system. The captured media content is transcoded or otherwise converted to a media stream in a format that is transmittable on the network. The media stream is then transmitted on the network for presentation on the remotely-located display.

13. A computer program product comprising instructions stored on a digital storage medium and executable by a digital processor associated with a computer system having a local display and an interface to a network, the computer program product comprising:
-
first logic configured to capture a portion of the imagery presented on the local display that comprises moving video content to be place shifted by capturing frames of raw video data describing the portion of the imagery to thereby represent the moving video content in the portion of the imagery at a frame rate; second logic configured to convert the captured frames of the raw video data from the raw video data describing the moving video content in the portion of the imagery into a media stream that represents the moving video content in a compressed moving video format that is transmittable on the network; and third logic configured to transmit the converted media stream on the network for presentation on the remotely-located display. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A system for place shifting media content to a remotely-located display over a network, the system comprising:
-
a first interface to the network; a second interface to a local display configured to display imagery; and a processor configured to capture a portion of the imagery presented on the local display that comprises the moving video content to be place shifted by capturing frames of raw video data to thereby represent the moving video at a frame rate, to convert the captured frames of raw video data to a media stream that represents the moving video content in a compressed format that is transmittable on the network, and to transmit the converted media stream via the first interface for presentation on the remotely-located display. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
