Abstract

In an embodiment, a system includes a display processing unit configured to process a video sequence for a target display. In some embodiments, the display processing unit is configured to composite the frames from frames of the video sequence and one or more other image sources. The display processing unit may be configured to write the processed/composited frames to memory, and may also be configured to generate statistics over the frame data, where the generated statistics are usable to encode the frame in a video encoder. The display processing unit may be configured to write the generated statistics to memory, and the video encoder may be configured to read the statistics and the frames. The video encoder may be configured to encode the frame responsive to the statistics.
