Method and system for displaying pixels on display devices
First Claim
1. A method for distributing pixel data to physical display devices, the method comprising:
- (a) providing one or more virtual frame-buffers, for temporarily storing the pixel data generated by pixel sources,(b) generating one or more virtual displays with display parameters representing one or more of the physical display devices;
(c) receiving pixel data into the one or more virtual frame buffers from one or more pixel sources,(d) processing the pixel data stored in the one or more virtual frame buffers, based on the display parameters; and
(e) transmitting the processed pixel data from the one or more virtual frame buffers to the virtual displays via a network, based on a network transmission protocol.

Abstract
A method for displaying pixels on display devices, comprising the steps of (a) Providing virtual pixel storage means, preferably one or more virtual frame buffers (6), for temporarily storing the pixel data, (b) Receiving pixel data into the virtual pixel storage means (6) from one or more pixel sources (5), (c) Processing the pixel data stored in the virtual pixel storage means, based on characteristic display parameters characterizing the display devices; and (d) Transmitting the pixel data from the virtual pixel storage means (6) to one or more virtual displays attached to the virtual pixel storage means via a network (7), based on a network transmission protocol. The invention further relates to a system for displaying pixels on display devices.

20. A system for distributing pixel data to physical display devices, comprising
(a) one or more virtual frame buffers, for temporarily storing the pixel data generated by pixel sources, (b) a generator for generating one or more virtual displays with display parameters representing one or more of the physical display devices; -
(c) a processor for processing the pixel data stored in the one or more virtual frame buffers, based on display parameters characterizing the display devices; and (d) a network for transmitting the processed pixel data from the one or more virtual frame buffers to the one or more virtual displays attached to the virtual frame buffers based on a network transmission protocol.
