Abstract

A host device is disclosed. The host device includes a processor and a control mechanism. The processor operates to receive primary and associated data, decode and separate the associated data from the primary data, selectively cause the separated associated data to be stored, and selectively cause the stored associated data to be rendered on a number of attached clients. The processor also operates the control mechanism to control a separate display apparatus to separately receive and render the primary data.
