Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus may include a link component and a display component. The link component may be operative to receive media content via data frames over a display interconnect, the data frames received periodically in succession at a first rate corresponding to a native frame rate of the media content. The display component may be operative to display the data frames in succession at a second rate corresponding to a native refresh rate of the display component, the display component operative to re-display data frames already shown to maintain the second rate when new data frames have not been received over the display interconnect.
