displaysor

Displaysor is a term used to describe a software layer or framework that orchestrates multiple display outputs to present a coordinated, unified visual experience. It can function as part of an operating system, a middleware layer, or a standalone application. In practice, displaysor coordinates rendering, color management, and temporal synchronization across devices such as monitors, projectors, VR headsets, and tiled displays. It supports both centralized rendering, where a single pipeline generates the image for all targets, and distributed rendering, where subframes or tiles are produced separately and assembled.

Key features include cross-device synchronization to minimize latency and frame tearing, color management and calibration to maintain consistent gamma and white points, and support for various display protocols and interfaces (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, network streaming). Advanced implementations may offer tiling, edge blending, and warp-corrected projection for curved or panoramic setups, as well as HDR tone-mapping and perceptual brightness matching across displays.

Architecture often comprises a display server or compositor component, a device discovery layer, and a synchronization protocol that multiple devices implement. It can interoperate with existing window managers, graphics drivers, and display servers through standard APIs or custom extensions.

Applications span digital signage networks, control rooms, immersive installations, flight or driving simulators, and collaborative multi-user workspaces. While not a widely standardized term, displaysor serves as a conceptual umbrella for discussion of cross-device display coordination and orchestration.
