Abstract
A tiled monitor system is implemented with a single controller that does not provide standard video signals to each of the monitors. Instead, only the changed portions of an image to be displayed are sent to the monitors, which internally maintain a video frame buffer for displaying using a display engine. Preferably, a high speed serial link is used between the monitors and the video controller for transmitting this information.
