Abstract
A method and apparatus to generate one or more graphics textures of a video image, wherein graphics textures have differing resolutions, and to render the video image as a graphics texture using the one or more graphics textures of differing resolutions. The one or more graphics textures have different resolutions, for example, a base resolution and one or more scaled resolutions. The graphics texture may be rendered and displayed on a surface of a multi-dimensional graphics object that may be manipulated on a display.
