In a system and method for streaming video information, a video device driver is configured to analyze video frames stored in a frame buffer to identify a video stream. Video frames identified as containing a video stream are excluded from rendering. An encoding format-independent media transport is configured to encode a copy of a video frame containing the video stream according to an encoding format supported by a client device requesting the video stream. The media transport further is configured to transmit the encoded video frame copy to the client device.

System and method for efficiently streaming digital video

Systems and methods for an efficient display data transfer algorithm over a network are disclosed. A compressed frame buffer update transmitted from a server via a network is received by a hardware decompression engine. The hardware decompression engine identifies one or more palette entries indicated in the compressed frame buffer update and determines whether the one or more palette entries is stored in a palette cache of the hardware decompression engine. If the one or more palette entries is not stored in the palette cache, the hardware decompression engine writes the one or more palette entries from an external palette memory to the palette cache. Decompressed display data is generated based on the compressed frame buffer update using the palette cache. The decompressed display data is written to an output buffer of the hardware decompression engine.

System and method for an efficient display data transfer algorithm over network

Techniques for use within computer systems that communicate with multiple different terminal systems using multiple different terminal protocols are disclosed. In one embodiment, a partial protocol converter module is installed in a computer server system to enable the computer server system to communicate with terminal systems that use terminal protocol other than the terminal protocol used natively by the computer server system. The partial protocol converter module directly accesses a screen buffer in the computer server system that is associated with the terminal systems that use terminal protocol other than the terminal protocol used natively by the computer server system. The partial protocol converter module detects updates to the screen buffer and encodes these display screen updates into a message using the native protocol used by the terminal system and then transmits that encoded message to the terminal system.

System and method for obtaining cross compatibility with a plurality of thin-client platforms

A method of handling network access in a multi-user server system is disclosed. In the disclose system, a virtual network adapter is created for each user session on the multi-user server system. Each virtual network adapter receives its own independent IP address such that each individual user session appears to be a unique network node to other systems on the computer network.
