Giga-stack: A method for visualizing giga-pixel layered imagery on massively tiled displays

A Survey of Software Frameworks for Cluster-Based Large High-Resolution Displays

“…Due to the limits on texture size in the main memory and GPU's texture memory, huge images generally need to be segmented into smaller pieces in a preprocess stage, and a collection of the image pieces can also be pre-generated in different resolutions to accelerate rendering speed [20], [55], [56]. An efficient solution should provide ways of distributing texture data, minimizing the amount of data that must be handled by any particular node, and caching it (i.e., out-of-core approaches such as [57]) to reduce the network traffic.…”

CGLXTouch: A multi-user multi-touch approach for ultra-high-resolution collaborative workspaces

“…Large images are converted into pyramidal tiled TIFF files through Vips [29]. These images are then stored on and subsequently accessed via a network mounted drive and data is rendered on a per node basis in a similar fashion to [31]. The framebuffers described in [29] are now created on a per monitor basis allowing for pixel accurate interrogation on the large display environment as described in the section above.…”

4kUHD H264 Wireless Live Video Streaming Using CUDA

“…The recent adoption of 4kUHD (3840 × 2160) video resolution now makes it necessary to investigate the possibilities of streaming such video resolution in a wireless environment due to its popularity. Video display at such resolutions can be done with the aid of SAGE [1,2] (scalable adaptive graphics environment), tiled displays (using more than one display output unit to produce the required resolution), CAVE [3] (cave automatic virtual environment) a one to many presentation systems, and more recently commercial production of 4kUHD television sets. Currently streaming at this resolution is normally done using compressed formats [4][5][6][7], as the minimum requirement for uncompressed UHD video starts at 2.39 Gb/s for 8-bit 4 : 2 : 0 subsampling at 24 frames per second.…”
