Audio and video devices can be virtualized using synchronous A/V streaming. When a video device such as a webcam is connected to a client terminal while the client terminal has established a remote session on a server, video data generated by the video device can be encoded into an encoded video stream using the H.264 or similar standard. Additionally, audio data corresponding to the video data can be embedded into the encoded video stream. The encoded video stream with the embedded audio can then be transferred to the server. The server-side components can extract the audio from the stream and perform the necessary decoding on the video and possibly on the audio data prior to providing the decoded data to drivers that function as virtualized audio and video devices on the server.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for scalably and efficiently converting linear image data into multi-dimensional image data for multimedia applications. In one example, a method for managing image data includes receiving a line of image data in a linear format via a system bus of width T, wherein the image data's native format is a tile format of H lines per tile; forming H subsets of image data from the line of image data in the linear format; writing the H subsets of image data to a memory comprising B.sub.N=H banks of B.sub.W=T/B.sub.N pixel width, wherein each subset of the H subsets is written to a different bank of the B.sub.N banks; and outputting the H subsets of image data in the tile format.

A facility for transferring configuration information to a target media device is described. The facility receives in the target media device a copy of media device settings stored in a source media device distinct from the target media device in a first form in which they are used in the source media device. This copy of media device settings is received by the target media device via a route other than its visual user interface. The facility causes the received copy of media device settings to be transformed into a second form in which they can be used in the target media device. The facility then stores the media receiver settings in the second form in the target media device for use by the target media device.
