Abstract
A computer-implemented process, apparatus, and system for displaying multiple video streams at the same time on a single display monitor, where at least two of the video streams may have different frame rates. Data structures containing linked control blocks are used to process the multiple video streams, where each control block contains information used in scaling and converting a single unscaled bitmap corresponding to a single frame of a video stream. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides video conferencing capabilities between multiple remotely located participants.
