A method for processing video comprises storing, at a video data buffer, an input video frame data received from a source, causing the stored video frame data to be output from the video data buffer at an output video frame rate, and varying the output video frame rate based on a comparison of an amount of video frame data stored at the video data buffer to a threshold amount of frame data. The threshold amount of frame data may be based on a target total latency between capture of the input video frame data at the source and display of the stored video frame data output from the video data buffer.

Method for video processing using a buffer

A system may comprise a video data buffer configured to store input video frame data received from a source; and a video processor logically coupled to the video data buffer, wherein the video processor is configured to cause the stored video frame data to be output from the video data buffer at an output video frame rate, and vary the output video frame rate based on an amount of video frame data stored at the video data buffer.

A method for processing video can include storing input video frame data at a video data buffer and outputting the stored video frame data from the video data buffer at an output video frame rate based on at least an amount of video frame data stored at the video data buffer.
