Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for encoding bitstreams of uniquely rendered video frames with variable frame rates are disclosed. A rendering unit and an encoder in a server are coupled via a network to a client with a decoder. The rendering unit dynamically adjusts the frame rate of uniquely rendered frames. Depending on the operating mode, the rendering unit conveys a constant frame rate to the encoder by repeating some frames or the rendering unit conveys a variable frame rate to the encoder by conveying only uniquely rendered frames to the encoder. Depending on the operating mode, the encoder conveys a constant frame rate bitstream to the decoder by encoding repeated frames as skip frames, or the encoder conveys a variable frame rate bitstream to the decoder by dropping repeated frames from the bitstream.
